Hey guys, I've recently converted my Imperial Dua Cycle into a "freestanding portable" and when I went to do a test cycle, water started leaking around the motor area and dripping out as indicated in the video. I checked the hoses, replaced the impeller and shaft seal from a donor KDA-7 but it still leaks. I did notice however in the photo at the 8-9 o clock position the gasket/seal for the tank started to peel, could that be the cause?

Conversion
Alex,
In converting the machine to a portable, what kind of procedure did you use, if you would? Cabinet, base, water and electric supply; how did you go about this? Suggestions from any will be appreciated. Brian This post was last edited 02/17/2013 at 01:26 | ||

Brian, I actually converted it from a portable to a "freestanding portable" by removing the unicouple, changed out the fill valve with one from a donor KDA-7, hooked up a 90 degree inlet hose and extended it out to my washer supply line faucet and fitted a garden hose to the drain valve to drain out to my washer pipe. I can wash vac parts downstairs now without having to use my Power Clean portable!
