Additional information
This pressure washer pump, part number 317991GS, mounts to the engine and draws in water from the supply hose, then pressurizes it for delivery through the high-pressure hose and spray wand.
If the pressure washer has little or no pressure, leaks water from the pump housing, or makes unusual noises during operation, the pump may be worn or damaged. Visible cracks, oil leaks, or water leaking from seals are common signs of failure.
Disconnect the spark plug wire on gas models or unplug electric models before starting the repair. Shut off the water supply and relieve system pressure, then remove mounting bolts and disconnect hoses carefully. Install the replacement pump securely and tighten all connections before restoring power and water supply.
