Excell pressure washer unloader valve location.
If your pressure washer is not building pressure and the engine is surging there could be a few different causes.
As determined by the setting of the unloader.
The unloader only relieves the pressure once it reaches a certain p s i.
One of them is a sticking unloader valve.
Conversely if the unloader valve won t close water pressure to the spray nozzle decreases drastically.
The unloader valve kit includes the o ring and all parts needed for the repair.
Troubleshooting shows that it s likely the unloader valve.
Many videos write ups show that you can try to free a stuck pin to repair it.
For example if your washer produces 1000 psi while you are spraying the unloader should not unload until the pressure exceeds the 1000psi.
The system pressure depends on the setting of the unloader.
On the other hand when you release the trigger the unloader valve redirects the flow of water towards the inlet valve.
If the pressure washer unloader valve isn t working replace it using the manufacturer approved replacement part.
Usually this pressure setting is higher than the system pressure while you are spraying.
If the unloader valve clogs or won t open the thermal release valve opens and sprays steamy water from the pump.
