- applying detergent and cleaning solutions, and rinsing surfaces
Its power characteristics and design, its main features and all its additional features are presented ahead.
Power
The Briggs & Stratton 20507
Using a powerful 420cc (13.5 hp) engine, its triplex pump delivers a pressure of up to 4000 PSI (roughly 67 times more than a standard garden hose) and a flow of up to 4 GPM (values claimed by the manufacturer). When these values are taken together, they yield a cleaning power of 16000 Cleaning Units.
To start the Briggs & Stratton 2100 Series™ engine of this gas-powered washer, users employ the familiar pull-start technique.
Fuel for the pressure washer is housed in a tank capable of holding up to 1.75 gallon of gasoline.
Design & Handling
The Briggs & Stratton 20507's wheelbarrow-style design enhances both mobility and stability, enabling seamless navigation and consistent performance, even on rugged terrain. With its strong steel tubing frame, the assembly is built to last, providing stability and safeguarding internal components, even in challenging environments. The handle adds to the 20507 convenience of transport.
At 141 lbs, this unit's substantial weight makes it quite a challenge for users to lift and maneuver, particularly on uneven surfaces where its heft can become even more apparent. The major reasons for its heavy weight are its 420cc Briggs & Stratton 2100 Series™ engine, the triplex pump and steel tubing frame. However, the incorporation of two 12" never-flat wheels makes navigating the 20507 less cumbersome, even on uneven terrain.
Main Features
The Briggs & Stratton 20507's package includes a spray gun, a wand, a pressure hose, 5 nozzles and a detergent injection feature, with a more detailed description below.
- Soap injection: Detergent is fed in through a siphon hose, since the device lacks a soap tank. Once a soap nozzle is connected, the pressure washer automatically blends the detergent with the water flow.
- Pressure hose: The unit comes equipped with an included 50 ft ⌀3/8" high-pressure hose, which can be neatly stored on the unit when idle, thanks to a set of convenient hooks, ensuring easy access and organization.
- Spray gun and wand: A side hook allows for an easy storage of the included classic ergonomic spray gun and its wand.
- Nozzles: Refer to the table below for details on the 5 included nozzles and their recommended surface applications.
