Description
Zoom on the Husqvarna HH36
The Husqvarna HH36 is a heavy duty, commercial pressure washer, that provides its users with an all-around versatile cleaning experience, and enables:
- spot cleaning of hard, unpainted surfaces and high-reach cleaning
- thorough cleaning of hard, paint-free surfaces
- cleaning of painted or delicate surfaces
- use of detergent and cleaning solutions
Its power characteristics and design, its main features and all its additional features are presented ahead.
Power
With a 196 cc engine, its triplex pump delivers a pressure of 3600 PSI (roughly 60 times more than a standard garden hose) and a flow of up to 2.5 GPM (values as per PW101-2010), resulting in the Husqvarna HH36's cleaning power of 9000 Cleaning Units.
A classic pull-start mechanism is responsible for starting the gas-powered pressure washer’s Honda GX200 engine.
A fuel tank with a maximum capacity of 0.82 gallon is used to store gasoline.
Design & Handling
The wheelbarrow design of the Husqvarna HH36 grants mobility and stability to the unit. Its sturdy welded steel frame provides longevity to the assembly. The handle adds to the HH36 convenience of transport.
At 92 lbs, we can't really say that the unit is a lightweight, and manually lifting or transporting it could be a challenge. The major reasons for its heavy weight are its 196 cc Honda GX200 engine, the triplex pump and welded steel frame. However, the unit’s two 10" pneumatic wheels are crucial to its maneuverability, since they provide a smooth method of manipulation on the job.
Main Features
Along with the Husqvarna HH36 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: While the device doesn't feature a soap tank, detergent supply is ensured by a siphon hose. The detergent is automatically added to the water when a soap nozzle is connected.
- Pressure hose: Using a set of convenient hooks, the included 50 ft high-pressure hose can be easily stored on the unit when it is not running.
- Spray gun and wand: Both the classic ergonomic spray gun and its wand may be conveniently stored in a side hook.
- Nozzles: The table below shows you the 5 included nozzles, as well as the surfaces they're the most appropriate for.
