About how many hours of life does a user get out of the two hydraulic resistance cylinders before their internal piston seals are worn out, necessitating replacement of the entire cylinder?

Hello,Sorry for the delay in getting back to you. I know its there, but I could not find it. What I can say is that we have had it for 3 or so years and 2 people use it 2 to 4 times per week per person without any issues.As I stated before we really like it. Michael

I'm sorry i cannot answer this question. But the info. on the back of the lid says that,if there is a need for repair or replacement within two, years that will be provided free of charge to the original purchaser.

From my own unsatisfactory experience with the 3-chamber version of this product, I believe that shortly after the warranty expires the seals begin to fail so that the required pressure is not maintained. When the seals failed on all three of the chambers in my unit and the manufacturer failed to stand behind the product, I had no other option but to throw it away.

One has to inspect the installed CO2 cylinder regularly, before and after each use. I'd replace it under any of the following circumstances: 1) Rust, corrosion, or large dents on the cylinders's metal; 2) If it's over three years old, even if you haven't used it; and 3), the obvious, if you have pulled the cord to use it in an emergency, or if the vest inflated automatically by immersion and the CO2 is spent. In this last case you'd need to replace the cylinder, the yellow water-soluble bobbin, and the green indicator clip. These item may be purchased separately as a re-arming kit. I keep one of these kits available just in case. The manual that comes with the device gives detailed instructions. One has to inspect the installed CO2 cylinder regularly, before and after each use.

Don't know, I haven't had to replace them. But it's my understanding they last or thousands of hours.

Forgot to inform you can reuse the same o-ring. Inspect for damage. Plan your job and Start to finish at most should take 25 min. If your taking longer than that your doing something wrong.

Unfortunately, they wear out after an amount of use. In my case, the "clicking" part wore out; therefore, causing the fuel cap not to secure properly and causing the check engine light to appear. My experience, date of vehicle purchase to cap replacement was about seven years.

I have used mine for at least 4 hours. After 6 or 7 years it still lasts over 2 hours.

First, I always keep my cleaner in the (salt) pool and operate the cleaner between 6-8 hrs. per day. There is a raised tread wear indicator on the rubber wheels, this also allows for the wheels to bump from over suction. I replace my rubber wheels about every 3-4 years. Regarding the internal parts, most last for 7-8 years, but would recommend checking the wheel spindles for slippage. Also, the fins / blades should be inspected annually. Hope this helps.

The other parts you may want to replace are the crank seal and cam seal. These start to leak oil as they wear.

Same as below. About 2-3 hours when new. Now after 2 years about an hour. Still works ok, so not too bad.

Mine is about two years old and has been used pretty heavily without the seals breaking down as yet! I hope your experience is not about to happen to me!I watched the YouTube disassembly video, which is quite well detailed, but unless you are mechanically adept and have the special tools needed, in hand, I think you might have trouble doing the job. You will also need to order the replacement kit from Crossman. I would certainly check to see if Crossman would handle the repair and what their charge would be before deciding what to do!!

I believe that a 50 hour rating is where they run the engine non stop at about 75% throttle until it breaks down. So. .... if you run it for an hour here and there and take care of it. .(i.e. use high octane non ethanol gas mixed with high quality oil and keep the air filter and everything clean)...it should last at least twice that. But who knows. Its a good value.

You'll probably need a flywheel too. Also check your slave and master cylinders. If any fluid comes out of the slave cylinder, it'll need replacement too.

Google it or xall themanufacturer.... as far as oil I'm certain you will need the oil ..... Andit's possible the seals are ruined anyway

I've used mine about 70-100 times and still no need to replace. Definitely not single-use!

I had asked that same question before purchasing a Karcher K5.740 from Power Equipment Direct. Their answer "about five years". About the only thing they know how to do is take your order. This unit lasted less than 20 hours before the seals started to leak and the unit started cycling on/off. To get it repaired would have cost a shop rate of $75/hour plus parts. This is an overpriced, poorly engineered piece of junk.
