Description
Zoom on the Husqvarna 022012
In a nutshell, the Husqvarna 022012 is a heavy duty pressure washer that allows:
- pinpoint spot cleaning of hard, unpainted surfaces, accessing high areas, and successfully removing stubborn stains
- general cleaning of hard surfaces , washing vehicles, and preparing surfaces for painting
- soft cleaning of delicate surfaces, and gentle cleaning for larger areas with low pressure
- using cleaning solutions, and rinsing surfaces to remove residue
The following sections will present you in detail its power characteristics and design, its main features and all the additional features it has to offer.
Power
With an impressive 208cc engine powering it, the axial cam pump of this unit is capable of achieving a pressure of 3000 PSI (approximately 50 times greater than that of a standard garden hose) and a flow rate of up to 2.3 GPM (values claimed by the manufacturer). Corresponding to these values is a cleaning power of 6900 Cleaning Units.
For this gas-powered pressure washer, the Briggs & Stratton CR950 engine is started using a time-tested pull-start mechanism.
Fuel for the pressure washer is housed in a tank capable of holding up to 0.8 gallon of gasoline.
Design & Handling
With its hand truck design, the Husqvarna 022012 provides excellent maneuverability. Built to endure, the steel frame ensures the assembly's longevity by providing stability and safeguarding internal components under all working conditions. The folding handle enhances its mobility, while allowing for a convenient storage.
With a weight of 60 lbs, the unit is comfortably maneuverable for most users, allowing for efficient handling during cleaning tasks. That weight is mainly due to the inclusion of the 208cc Briggs & Stratton CR950 engine and a solid steel frame. However, with its two 10" never-flat wheels, the 022012 remains highly maneuverable.
Main Features
The Husqvarna 022012 comes with a spray gun, a wand, a pressure hose, 4 nozzles and a detergent injection feature, which are detailed below.
- Soap injection: Even without a built-in soap tank, the device relies on a siphon hose to provide detergent. Attachment of a soap nozzle prompts the pressure washer to automatically introduce and blend the detergent with the water.
- Pressure hose: With a set of convenient hooks, the unit provides a convenient way to store the included 25 ft high-pressure hose when not in use, keeping it organized and readily accessible.
- 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 4 included nozzles and their recommended surface applications.
