Water leaks from the intensifier.
Refer to Leaks on page 118.
Water leaks through the intensifier drain tubes.
A high-pressure water seal is damaged.
A damaged high-pressure water seal is the most common cause of water leaking from the
intensifier.
Replace the high-pressure seal.
If a high-pressure cylinder feels hot:
Disassemble the parts and look for flaws, deterioration, erosion marks, or cracks.
Make sure that the mating surfaces are smooth and clean.
If damage is found, replace the component.
If the high-pressure seal is removed from the plunger when you disassemble the
intensifier, replace the seal.
A fitting is leaking.
A low-pressure water line is not seated fully in the fitting.
Make sure that the low-pressure water line is pushed all the way into the fitting.
Make sure that the O-ring is not damaged or missing. Replace, if necessary.
The collar on a high-pressure water fitting is not correctly installed.
Refer to High-pressure water fittings on page 144.
A fitting on the high-pressure tubing is not tight enough.
Tighten the fitting to the maximum torque value.
Disassemble the parts and look for flaws, deterioration, erosion marks, or cracks.
Make sure that the mating surfaces are smooth and clean.
If damage is found, replace the component.
A tubing end is cracked or damaged.
Replace the tubing.
