What kind of oil should be put inside the pump of a professional high-pressure cleaner?

To promote the proper operation and maintenance over time of the various components inside the pump of a professional high-pressure cleaner, it is important to ensure that the right amount of oil is present, clean

and therefore free of impurities.

In fact, this fatty substance is essential for proper product action so as to:

• Prevent friction from occurring between the various components;

• Keep the internal temperature constant. The oil, in fact, serves as a heat sink, allowing cooling the tool and protecting its operation;

• Protect the internal parts from corrosive elements, such as water;

• Support the natural internal cleaning of the high-pressure cleaner, by capturing dirt generated by the motor.

When to change the oil in the high-pressure cleaner?

Performing periodic maintenance jobs on your professional high-pressure cleaner is essential to ensure its proper operation over time, keeping its performance high even after heavy use. In particular, changing the oil to the high-pressure cleaner is important to protect the internal components and preserve the operation of various mechanisms such as the pump and motor.

We recommend changing the oil at the high-pressure cleaner in the following cases:

• after the first 50 hours of use; for the following oil changes, it is a good idea to refer to your high-pressure cleaner's owner's manual to find ad hoc directions for each model;

• when it is very turbid, dark and has solid debris therein;

• periodically, scheduling a complete cleaning of the high-pressure cleaner according to usage needs;

• according to the schedule in the product manual, which we recommend that you always read carefully.

By following the manufacturer's direction you can be sure to select the type best suited to your model, taking into account the internal characteristics, ambient temperatures and frequency of use.

Some of the most popular oil types for high-pressure cleaners are:

• SAE 30 oil, one of the most recommended for gasoline models and moderate temperatures;

• SAE 10W-30 oil, very versatile and suitable for different weather conditions. Ideal in cases where the high-pressure cleaner is used in environments with varying temperatures;
