I’m hoping someone does an in depth break down and rebuild of the cs-4. I use mine a lot and it’s slowing down. It’s weird because it goes faster toward higher pressure. I’d like to see an explanation of how all the stages work.
I'm planning on doing one when mine gets to that point - I have an earlier video where I do a partial tear down and explanation, that might get you started! If yours is slowing down it might just need the grease refilled
I added red antifreeze to mine from the start. Seems to be fine so far. I've only filled my gun a few times and filled a 2.5 liter tank once. Seems to put out a lot of water. I cracked the bleed valve from time to time and let water bleed out. May have to find another way to rid the water. Like it so far.
Greetings from the United Kingdom, Thank you for your very instructive video, I only want to ask 1 question. Would this compressor fill my 5 litre Dive Tank from empty to full, I only set at 200 bar. Thank You.
I just got the GX-E-CS4 (external power). How much water/coolant do I pour down the tank? How do I make sure I do not overfill? The instructions are not very clear on this (the cap came super-tight on mine too - having difficulty unscrewing it). Also every how many hours do I have to add more? Thank you in advance!
Good choice! I would point a flashlight down it so you can see the level. Then I normally will fill up a couple inches from the top. Turn it on, and the level will go down as it starts to circulate and fill the hoses. Then just fill back to an inch or two from the cap. It's a closed system, so you shouldn't have to add any more coolant ever again. If the cap is still stuck on I would maybe try carefully warming it up. (Maybe a blow dryer or heat gun, just enough to get it to expand a tad) Just be sure not to hold the heat in one spot too long and melting it. Let me know how it goes!
@@Themightymooseoutdoor87 Thank you for clearing that up! First I have to go to the store and get some distilled water before I decide what coolant to put in. There are other YT videos where they mention "flushing the system" and putting fresh water/coolant in. But there are no instructions in the manual on how to flush the old coolant 😞
@vtecharrys.6981 if you just do coolant I don't expect it to go bad. Automotive coolant stays good for a long time. I would recommend just doing coolant instead of water. (I initially did water, but later learned coolant is better) If you do need to flush it for some reason, you could just take the case off, and unhook one of the hoses to drain it. I've done that on a model I was repairing.
Not sure exactly, but a couple things to check Are they the right burst discs? Are you opening your bleed valve before you start? I'd recommend going in the GX pump Facebook page. The admin there rebuilds these and has an excellent technical knowledge of them.
Thank you 😊

The manual says when it slows down it’s time to add grease. Turn the grease knob is you haven’t and see what happens.
@@craigmartin7299 I’m way past that. I have over 120 hours on the machine.

Yes it would 🙂 if you buy one, please use my link to support my channel
Hey good afternoon, would you know where I can locate a piston for the GX CS3 compressor?
I would check the official website gxpumpofficial.com/collections/all

You don't need to use a air filter for this when filling tanks to remove moisture?
It has a small built in filter, and where I live (desert) that's plenty for our humidity.
If you are in a humid area I definitely recommend it.
So you have to keep the black rubber thing under the grease pot in always? Doesn't this seal of the hole where the grease needs to go in?
Correct- it has a small hole that allows grease through. My understanding is that it allows only a small amount at a time through intentionally
My cs4 keeps blowing burst disks.It has 6 hrs on it.there is water in the burst disk chamber,any idea were its comming from?
Not sure exactly, but a couple things to check
Are they the right burst discs?
Are you opening your bleed valve before you start?

one bar is ONE ATMO 14.5-6psi
lol. not ten
