Power
With a powerful 208cc engine powering it, the triplex pump of this unit is capable of achieving a pressure of 3400 PSI (approximately 57 times greater than that of a standard garden hose) and a flow rate of up to 2.5 GPM (values claimed by the manufacturer). Corresponding to these values is a cleaning power of 8500 Cleaning Units.
The Briggs & Stratton CR950 engine of this gas-powered pressure washer is initiated by a classic pull-start mechanism.
Containing gasoline, the pressure washer's fuel tank can hold a maximum of 0.8 gallon.
Design & Handling
Designed with a wheelbarrow configuration, the Husqvarna 022016 ensures improved mobility and stability, allowing for effortless movement and reliable operation on challenging surfaces. The durable welded steel frame of the assembly ensures its longevity, providing stability and shielding internal components from damage, even in tough conditions. The handle adds to the 022016 convenience of transport.
At 68 lbs, this unit is light enough for easy handling, yet substantial enough to provide stability during operation. The unit's weight is principally a result of the inclusion of the 208cc Briggs & Stratton CR950 engine, the triplex pump and a strong welded steel frame. However, with its two 10" pneumatic wheels, the 022016 remains highly maneuverable.
Main Features
Along with the Husqvarna 022016 itself, the package also includes a spray gun, a wand, a pressure hose, 5 nozzles and a detergent injection feature, which are discussed in further detail below.
- Soap injection: Even without a built-in soap tank, the device relies on a siphon hose to provide detergent. When a soap nozzle is connected, the pressure washer takes the initiative to mix the detergent with the water flow automatically.
- Pressure hose: The included 50 ft high-pressure hose can be neatly stored on the unit when not in use, utilizing a set of convenient hooks for convenient organization.
- Spray gun and wand: A side hook allows for an easy storage of the included classic ergonomic spray gun and its wand.
