Removing the Kohler Pressure-Washer Pump

Kohler Engines manufactures everything from lawnmowers to bulldozers. They also make pressure washers. A pressure washer is a mechanical sprayer used to clean surfaces with a high-pressure water stream. The pump is the heart of the unit and contains valves that cycle the water through the washer. If the pump on your pressure washer is damaged, you can remove and replace it yourself.
