    Pump Leak Common place ?

    Is there a common place to check for a leak on my Power Pole ? One of my pumps has a small leak and I cant find it , Im thinking its possibly could be a reservoir cap but not sure . Ive cycled them up and down multiple times in the driveway with no luck finding the leak . Any suggestions ?

    What Specifically is the Power Pole doing that leads you to believe you have a leak?

    If the pole is bleeding down while stowed it points to a valve or cylinder. The reservoir is not under psi or fully sealed.

    Fluid on the reservoir could be o-ring, Fittings, Crack in reservoir housing, or cap.

    Do not over tighten the cap or it will crack over time. It has an o-ring simply snug it down.


    Need specifics....

    1) Cap
    2) O-ring
    3) Crack in Reservoir
    4) Leaking fittings

    5) Pin hole in hose but typically your going to get a much more fluid from this situation
