Surface Cleaner Problem

Sorry in advance if this is the wrong section for this. I just got a little Landa Cyclone surface cleaner off craigslist for $200. I knew it was probably broken but wasn't sure the extent of the damage until I got it home. Hooked it up to my pw and there was no pressure to speak of. It is currently leaking in 2 different spots and I was wondering if this would be easy to do myself or if I could be pointed in the direction of a service person in the greater Tampa area. I worked for a guy for 2 years just doing the work and was never taught the equipment maintenance end of this business so any help is surely appreciated. On the Landa site these are going for nearly $1200 and I found them as cheap as $800 so I figured if I got it for 2 and spent 5 or less to fix it I still would get a good deal. Image below of where the leaks are. Thanks in advance!

If there is no pressure other than the leaks the lines are clogged up with something.Glad you had those leaks or you might have pop a relief valve off the washer.Take all the lines off and find out whats clogged and go from there.

Water is coming out of the nozzles, sorry for the confusion I meant to say that the pressure was weak. Still enough to spin it and come out of the nozzles.
 
The best way to learn is to take it apart, then you will see what makes it work. It maybe something simple, take the nozzles of and check for dirt or trash, it doesn't take much to clog a nozzle, then keep working you way down. It may just need some cleaning and fresh tape.

This is one of the reasons I buy local. So then the company that sold it to me can service it for me.

I wish I had someone local to buy from as well as service. There is no one near me!
 
Hey there is also a filter integrated right after the trigger right were the black hose attaches to it those filters always clog up on mine as far as the swivel it has no o rings and it only has a washer right bellow the retaining nut.

Thanks everyone for your input. I'm going to take it apart tomorrow night and I'll give as much of an update as I can. And Russ if I can figure out what parts I need I'll definitely let you know.

Russ, do you think that a Whisper Wash swivel and spray bar could be mounted on the Cyclone, seems like that is the weak point of the surface cleaner.
