Replace high pressure hose - Black & Decker Camping, Backpacking & Hiking

Maybe bad pump. Remove wand and wand hose, run machine with water in. High pressure water coming out of wand/hose connection, bad wand or hose. No high pressure water, bad pump, replace.

If hose fits over a hose barb try using a hose clamp from any auto supply store Or replace the hose barb GL

Their are two (2) lines coming out of the back side of the pump, one of them will have a hose type clamp on it and be a bit big around than the other, that one is NOT the high pressure line. it is the return line.

If you are replacing the hose because it burst you might contact the manufacturer. Mine, of a different brand, burst and they sent me a new pressure washer saying that it was very difficult to install a new hose. They had a lot of problems with hoses from China.

Work with me on this.
There are two "kinds" of hoses. High pressure and low pressure.
High pressure hoses have a high pressure fitting on each end.
Low pressure hoses often have a pressure fitting on one end, and nothing more than a hose clamp (band clamp) on the other end.
See if yours has two identifiable hoses, one of each.
Before you take any parts off, know that it is possible you only need to tighten a hose connection.
This I found true in about 1/2 the cases.
You can change either hose yourself, but know that you might really wish you hadn't!
You may discover you have to take many parts off to get to the hoses, and be prepared to spend many hours on the job.
Be Blessed

I just finished replacing mine.

It is much easier if you do these steps:

1. Remove the serpentine belt.
2. Remove the nuts holding the main fuse box over the battery.
3. Remove the reinforcing bar over the battery.
4. Remove the battery.
5. Remove the windsheild washer tank.
6. Now you have access to remove the pump pulley. Without removing the stuff, it may be possible, but it will be extremely difficult.
7. Remove the pump pulley.
8. Loosen the high pressure hose fitting.
9. Remove the return line clamp.
10. Remove the power steering pump mounting bolts.
11. Remove the high pressure hose fitting.
12. Remove the power steering pump while sliding off the low pressure hose.
13. Remove the clips holding the reservoir on the pump.
14. Remove the reservoir.
15. Install new o-ring on the reservoir.
16. Install reservoir on new pump.
17. Install clips to hold reservoir on pump.
18. Install new o-ring on high pressure fitting.
19. Place new pump in position while sliding on low pressure hose.
20. Loosely attache high pressure fitting.
21. Tighten pump to mounts.
22. Tighten high pressure fitting.
23. Install clamp on low pressure hose.
24. Install power steering pulley.
25. Install washer reservoir.
26. Install battery.
27. Install reinforcing cross member.
28. Install fuse panel.
29. Install serpentine belt.
30. Bleed the power steering system.

You can use a universal hose for replacement. This hose should not be under high pressure (usually inlet water hose pressure). This is a bypass that is used when you release the trigger to wand. Look closely at the brass fittings of the hose, sometimes they can be reused by removing the clamp and cutting off the rubber part. Use automotive rubber hose (suitable for hot water system/radiator )or black pressure hose from Lowes (sold bulk) that will fit snugly on the barb and use simple clamps. You can make new hose by buying barbs and hose from Lowes or hardware/plumbing store. Good luck

the high pressure hose has a pressure fitting the low has a clamp

YOU CANT USE A REGULAR FUEL LINE ON POWER STEERING AS A HIGH PRESSURE HOSE.BECAUSE POWER STEERING PRESSURE IS 1000 PSI.YOU HAVE TO BUY THE POWER STEERING HIGH PRESSURE HOSE IT HAS NUMBER OF PLIES MATERIAL WEAVES TO MAKE IT STRONG.IT WAS MADE FOR POWER STEERING HIGH PRESSURE.YOU DONT HAVE A BLOCKAGE .THE HIGH PRESSURE HOSE JUST WORE OUT.REPLACE IT .IT SHOULD FIX THE PROBLEM.

it should have and is delivered with the narrow bore high pressure hose
if your water flow rate is high more than 20 ltrs p min you could get away with a standard low preessure hose

you can download the instruction manual from the bosch web site or from the bsh home appliances web site
good luck
