I know you said it was previously working, but I had a problem with a mozmatic swivel that sounds similar. Our problem was GPM. The nozzles were not large enough for the GPM of our machine (which we wanted less water for less reclaim). We got larger nozzles and it's worked for 4 years. Apparently, the back pressure was seizing the swivel.

I greased it and it was spinning for about 4 turns then stopped again. Im gonna send it off and get it replaced since its under warranty.
I cant remove the side bolt to drop the swivel down, I was using a drill and it started smoking cause the bolt wont budge!! Im bout to take a hammer to it :grin-devilish: and just buy a whisper wash

I would save up and get a good surface cleaner before I bought a hammerhead. Less problems in the future.

For me, eagle wash floaters. I imagine that if you did a lot of concrete you would want a steel eagle. I have bought and given away a hammerhead and a whisper wash. They are heavy, akward and have a handle built into them. Absolutle garbage in my opinion.

Ive used waterproof grease, silicone grease and neither worked, Im gonna send it off and use the warranty.
Only reason I have the hammerhead is cause it was free with my pressure washer....now I see why. I dont have the time or the patience to work on equipment everytime before I do a job. If it messes up again after I get it back Im gonna burn it or take a chainsaw to it and buy a different one and if this is a common problem with all surface cleaners...ill stick to the wand.

we use only whisper wash surface cleaners and have many of them and all work great, the new all the way to the old!

Maybe I should be more clear. The whisper wash classic is a piece of junk. The others may be fine. I know the whisper wash ultra clean is pretty much the same as the eagle wash.

Which one of those surface cleaners and what PSI would you use to polish that bald head?

I have one have had it for 2 months and am already having issues. I could by a hammerhead for the cost of the new classic housing. I love my hammerheads they are perfect if you have dummies that work for you. Cheap replacement parts.
