Setup, Compatibility & Care
Compatibility: This pump is a direct replacement for the Neilsen CT1855 petrol pressure washer. Ensure your existing unit is the CT1855 model before purchasing.
Setup: Installation typically involves bolting the pump to the engine and connecting the inlet and outlet hoses. Refer to your Neilsen pressure washer's original manual for detailed step-by-step instructions. Crucially, before starting the engine, fill the pump reservoir with the recommended type and amount of normal engine oil as per the pressure washer's manual. Failure to do so can lead to pump damage.
Care: To ensure longevity, drain the pump if storing the pressure washer for extended periods, especially in freezing conditions. Periodically check oil levels and replace oil as recommended by the manufacturer. Keep the pump's air intake free of debris.
