PUMP MAINTENANCE

For longest lasting service, follow the instructions given in the check list (Figure 13).

IMPORTANT: Use 0.55 liter (18.6 ounces) of CAT Pump 6107 multi-viscosity oil. Oil alternatives include Mobil DTE16,Texaco Rondo 1660-HD150,Amoco Rykon-68, Shell Tellus T-68, and Exxon Univis-68.

Check Oil Level

1.Place pressure washer on a level surface.

2.While pump and oil is cold, observe oil level visible in pump’s oil sight gauge.

3.Oil level should be visible and just below red dot. If necessary, slowly add recommended oil through pump’s oil filler opening until oil level just touches bottom of red dot. DO NOT fill above red dot!

Oil Change Procedure

1.Place pressure washer on an outside level surface.

2.Start and run pressure washer for at least 5 minutes.

3.Turn off pressure washer and disconnect spark plug wire from spark plug.

*If other than CAT Pump Model 6107 oil is used, change cycle should be every 300 hours.

**Each system’s maintenance cycle will be exclusive. If system performance decreases, check immediately. If no wear at 1500 hours, check again at 2000 hours and each 500 hours until wear is observed.Valves typically require changing every other seal change. Duty cycle, temperature, quality of pumped liquid and inlet feed conditions all affect the life of pump wear parts and service cycle.

**Remember to service the unloader at each seal servicing and check all system accessories and connections before resuming operation. Contact your local service center if questions arise.
