Loosening that vault screw was crazy. I had my surface cleaner in a leg lock, leaned back, and used my full body weight to get is loose 😂 Thanks for the video.
Thanks for the great videos. They are very informative and easy to understand. I will soon be starting my own pressure washing business and your videos have helped me prepare for setup and repairs of my future equipment.
Just a helpful tip, all there is to rebuilding a swivel like this are replacing the two bearings and oring. You can get a 4 pack of png bearings 6302 2RS for around $10. Just fyi.
@@jaypemberton8253 I usually just match it up at home depot. That's where I buy all my orings for the hoses and tips. Not the colored ones in the pressure washer section though. Go to the plumbing section for good quality orings.
I have a mi-t-m 20inch surface cleaner , the swivel almost looks like this but has two holes at the bottom , when u pull the spray trigger water comes from the spray tips AND the two holes at the bottom of the swivel . Is that a sign that it needs repair or replaced? This was a hand me down lol
Mi-T-M models could be identical to the Whirl-a-Way seen in this video. If your model has this same swivel what you are seeing is water leaking out of the "weep holes". This is to let you know you need to replace your seals inside the swivel. At this point you have 2 options. To repair ONLY the seals, you could order part #85.790.001 found here :
im trying to build one of these, having a bit of trouble understanding how it functions....during use (ie when pressure is introduced), that carbide seat, doesn't it compress the spring & break the seal? then does the sealed chamber just fill?
I have a simpson surface cleaner, almost identical to that.. Do you by chance have other videos that may show more detail for that model? I've searched for this and can't find the simpson version? Great video, thanks!!
i went ahead and used a socket to loosen the piece that is on the end where the two notched piece goes in . Now it is time to put it back together and it looks like it had some type of sealant what do you recommend i use to seal it back together.
I do not believe any sealant is required. the "notched" piece should sit in the hole(where the spring is) and the 2 notches should align with the 2 pegs.
I believe mine is a whirl-a-way as well but yellow... sound right? My swivel has a wobble to it but not leaking water.... I’m assuming I need to do what you did in this video?
It it's "shaking" when you spray but it still spins (but maybe slower) then I would first check for debris at my spray tips. If it spins freely while not hooked up but "locks" completely while under pressure then rebuild the swivel
JN Equipment I brought it to my local shop, they said it might have a cracked bearing, wobbles... The bar was bent as well. Replaced the bar and it sped it back up but still need to do what you did in this vid. Do you sell the bearings for a 20” whirlaway?

was the whisper equipped with a different cartridge housing in the past? mine seems to be different, it doesnt unscrew to remove the cartridge upward, it requires mine to be push downward instead
if this is regards to a WHISPER WASH unit which is not featured in this video than yes, there are 2 different types of swivels. The newer Series 3 swivels are GREEN and the assembly pushes up, the older black swivels have to be taken apart one piece at a time.
The seal kit needs to be replaced. The seals are wear and tear parts and over time they simply need to be changed. Like tires on a car. Even if they remain unused, they can simply dry rot over time. With enough use they simply wear out.
Looks like out of business. Usually all of these old videos are. No more website. I haven't upgraded to this yet. Will be in the future. But, I have been trying to find out where the heck to get the split o-ring or rubber washer that's in a small 15" westinghouse attachment surface cleaner. A little penny part and Westinghouse couldn't give me any info about any part of their pressure washing equipment. I know they're just a name and their equipment is frankensteined together overseas, but damn, they don't even know the size of the penny part that fails over and over on these surface washers? Or, you'd think they'd have spares in the box so I didn't have to get a new one for free every 3 months lmao

@@Spraywell thank you so much
I lost the spring damn it ! Do you know by any chance what is the size and specs of that small spring !! Thanks in advance
Would this rebuild be the same as a 20 inch BE surface cleaner? If so where did you get the rebuild kit?
Hi - Yes, the major repair kit used in this video can be found here:
spraywell.com/be-85-790-010-swivel-repair-kit-for-18-24-whirl-a-way/
This repair kit will work for 18 inch, 20 inch, 22 inch and 24 inch Whirl-a-way surface cleaners.
I need to replace the seals in mine are these the steps I need to do to replace them?
This swivel has a "MINOR rebuild kit" and a "Major rebuild kit" there isn't a seal kit.
im trying to build one of these, having a bit of trouble understanding how it functions....during use (ie when pressure is introduced), that carbide seat, doesn't it compress the spring & break the seal? then does the sealed chamber just fill?
Hey I have excessive water coming out of the hole on the bottom right above the spray bar what does this mean?
Mine is doing the same how can i fix it ?
What type of grease or lubricate do you use for this type of surface cleaner?
Multi Purpose Marine Grease.
What size Allen?
I have a simpson surface cleaner, almost identical to that.. Do you by chance have other videos that may show more detail for that model? I've searched for this and can't find the simpson version? Great video, thanks!!
The Simpson surface cleaner is identical to the General Pump surface cleaner. what's your question? email me direct @ sales@jnequipment.com

Could you use break cleaner or WD 40 to clean that swivel housing.
Just be careful with any o-rings or plastics when using brake cleaner. Do it without them present in the housing.

Ok. How do replace just the bearings? I have mine apart. Bearing press?
@@Xray.71 that's your best bet

JN Equipment yes I figure it out, those new ones are so much easier than what I have
is there a small washer that contacts the spring
no
Aight
If water is blowing out the hole on the bottom of the swivel does that mean the O ring is bad?
yes, that is the "weep" hole and if water is shooting our of there but your bearings still spin well then you need the minor rebuild kit.
@@Spraywell Do you sell that?
What would cause the cleaner to leak from the weep hole??
The seal kit needs to be replaced. The seals are wear and tear parts and over time they simply need to be changed. Like tires on a car. Even if they remain unused, they can simply dry rot over time. With enough use they simply wear out.
How big is the spring diameter and length.
Hi having problems getting the bearings out of the housing. Any tips
Bang really hard! try using PB blaster and let it soak to loosen them up. Lots of time it's just dirt and/or grime holding them in place.
Thanks buddy

Forget the snap ring pliers, just use needle nose pliers you get a better grip.
Man my swivel doesn't seem to want to come off as much as I try
corrosion and dirt will gunk it all up. Sometimes, their just jammed up. Try letting it soak in PB Blaster or something similar to break it loose.
@@Spraywell thanks so much for the tips, info and help!!!!🙏
