KARCHER OVERVIEW
Bypass Valve
When the trigger of the spray gun is pulled, the entire pump capacity flows through the nozzle insert (30) to the water outlet (32). At this time, the bypass valve remains in the upper position and closes off the path between the pressure chamber and the suction chamber.
When the trigger of the spray gun is released, water ceases to flow through the nozzle insert (32). The pressure above the by­pass valve (20) rises, which causes the bypass valve to be pressed downwards. This will cause the pump to run in the bypass mode. The pump continues to run, but only maintains the circulation pressure.
When the trigger of the spray gun is again pulled, the pressure in the high-pressure hose drops suddenly. The spring inside the bypass valve (20), together with the restricted pressure at the entrance to the nozzle insert (30), pushes the bypass valve upwards. This causes the bypass valve to close, and the pump builds up pressure once more.
Thermal Relief Valve
If the pump should continue to run in bypass mode for an extend­ed amount of time (max 5 min.), the water circulating within the pump will reach a temperature level that will cause internal damage. This is prevented by the thermal relief valve (18). The thermal relief valve will release the hot water and then automati­cally reset itself.
Detergent Delivery System
In this system there is a nozzle insert (30) in the water outlet (32). The entire pump capacity flows through the nozzle insert to the spray gun.
Detergent can only be drawn in by the nozzle insert (30) if the nozzle of the spray wand has been set to low pressure. This causes the pump pressure to fall to approximately 435 PSI (low pressure), and the greatest degree of negative pressure (11.6 PSI) is generated at the lateral hole in the nozzle insert so that detergent can be drawn into the unit via the detergent suction tube (38) and detergent filter (39).
If the spray nozzle on the spray wand is set for high-pressure operation, the hole in the nozzle insert (30) does not create any negative pressure, and no detergent can be drawn into the unit.
The detergent non-return valve (34) consists of a small spring (37) with a ball (36), O-ring (35) and nipple (34). When operating in the detergent mode, the negative pressure created by the nozzle insert (30) causes the ball to be drawn away from the O-ring (35), against the tension of the spring (37). Detergent can then be drawn into the unit.
When operating in the high-pressure mode, the ball (36) seals off the detergent connection so that no water can flow into the con­tainer of detergent.
Swash Plate Assembly
The three pistons (10) are driven by the swash plate assembly (6,7,8,9), which is mounted on a pump shaft (3). In the case of a ver­tically configured machine, a drive bolt is screwed into the engine shaft and then inserted into the pump shaft. As soon as the engine shaft rotates, the swash plate assembly ( 6,7,8,9) rotates as well. This causes the pistons (10) to move backwards and forwards. The piston stroke depends upon the angle of the swash plate assembly ( 6,7,8,9). The greater the angle of the swash plate, the longer the piston stroke. One revolution of the swash plate gives the pistons one suction stroke and one pressure stroke.
Oil Bath
The swash plate and pistons are bathed in oil (oil type 15W40 non-detergent).
This pump does not have a drain plug, oil reservoir and sight glass. In order to add oil in this case, the pump head (45) and piston hous­ing (12) will have to be removed. If servicing a pump without a sight glass, the oil level is just above the high side of the swash disk (9).
Pistons With Seals
The three pistons (10) are pressed against the swash disk (9) of the swash plate assembly (6,7,8,9) by powerful piston springs (11). These three pistons are manufactured from tempered, surface-hardened steel and are non-corrosive with regards to detergents and rust.
The pump delivery capacity is determined by
- the rotational speed of the motor
- the diameter of the pistons
- the length of the piston stroke.
The pistons (10) are fitted with a high-pressure bushing seal (29).
The three pistons each have a low-pressure oil seal (28) mounted in the piston housing (12). These three low-pressure oil seals, along with the shaft seal (3), retain the oil in the oil bath housing. The slot holes (13) are in the piston housing (12) and allow water or oil to drip out into the open.
A water leakage rate of one drop per piston per minute is allowable during high-pressure operation. If oil is leaking from the slot holes
(13), there is either a leak in the oil seals or there is piston damage.
Low-Pressure and High-Pressure Check Valves
Each piston (10) works with one low-pressure check valve (24-27) and one high-pressure check valve (41-44). Each of these check valves is constructed of the same basic components: the valve basket, spring, valve plate with guide shaft and the valve seat with O-ring.
The sealing surface between the valve plate (25) and the valve seat (24) is conical. The valve plate and valve seat are manufactured from either plastic or stainless steel depending upon the particular unit involved.
When the piston (10) is forced backwards by the piston spring (11) in the oil bath housing (2), the high-pressure check valve (41-44) closes and water is drawn in through the supply line / suction chamber at the water inlet (21), through the inlet filter (22), and through the open low-pressure check valve (24-27).
When the piston (10) is pushed forward by the swash disk (9), the low-pressure check valve closes and water is conveyed through the open high-pressure check valve to the high-pressure outlet. The pressure that is generated is dependent upon the flow rate and the orifice diameter of the of the high-pressure nozzle.

Problems That Cause Water Leaks
A. Thermal Relief Valve
The thermal relief valve (18) protects the pump from hot water temperatures in bypass mode. If the thermal relief valve is damaged or does not reset, there will be a continual leak. Check thermal relief valve.
B. Weep Holes – High-Pressure Seals
Water leaking from the slot holes (13) can indicate a leak in the high-pressure seals (29). Check seals for damage.
