Initiating the 201cc engine of this gas pressure washer is achieved through a classic pull-start process.
Fuel for the pressure washer is housed in a tank capable of holding up to 0.24 gallon of gasoline.
Design & Handling
The Champion 100580's mobility is greatly enhanced by its hand truck design. The durable steel frame of the assembly ensures its longevity, providing stability and shielding internal components from damage, even in tough conditions. The foam-padded fixed handle adds to the 100580 convenience of transport, while offering a comfortable grip.
With a weight of 51.6 lbs, this unit is designed for ease of maneuverability, catering to a wide range of users. That weight is mainly due to the inclusion of the 201cc Honda GCV200 engine and a solid steel frame. Despite this, the 100580's two 12" never-flat wheels ensure effortless maneuverability.
Main Features
Along with the Champion 100580 itself, the package also includes a spray gun, a wand, a pressure hose, 4 nozzles and a detergent injection feature, which are discussed in further detail below.

The Champion 100580 features an automatic soap dilution mechanism that dilutes detergent according to a predefined ratio of 12:1. The detergent is automatically mixed with the water flow by the pressure washer when a soap nozzle is connected.
- Pressure hose: Utilizing a set of easy-to-use straps, the unit offers a convenient solution for storing the included 25 ft ⌀9/32" high-pressure hose when it's not in use, keeping it neatly organized.
