Hello there,

I have a slight problem with my machine.
The handle I use to "press' the water through the piston is getting a bit loose and has some friction.

I do not dare to try to tighten it because I am strong and clumsy :)

This how it looks like.

Any tips?
The machine works still fine...



Kind regards,


Romke van Dijk

For more detail on the E-61 group, see these two articles on my website:
How-To 18 - Simple Lubrication of the E-61 Group
How-To 19 - Overhauling and Lubricating the E-61 Group

You probably need to replace the shaft seals (at least). The full overhaul article covers the internals in detail.
