I'm assuming this machine has a swash plate pump, unlikely to be

WHat is a swash plate pump and how does it work? Enquiring minds
need to know.


A lovely little animation of how they work:

need for anything more.)

Seems to be a difference in terminology here. What the pressure washer
industry would call a swash plate pump is described as a wobble plate pump
on this site. http://www.animatedsoftware.com/pumpglos/wobble.htm

Let's throw the helicopter version in as well:

Hypothyroidism is a seriously debilitating condition with an insidious

Although common it frequently goes undiagnosed.
