Power
The Kärcher G3200P
With a 196cc (5.5 hp) engine, its aluminum axial cam pump delivers a pressure of 3200 PSI (roughly 53 times more than a standard garden hose) and a flow of up to 2.4 GPM (CETA-certified values), resulting in the Kärcher G3200P's cleaning power of 7680 Cleaning Units.
To initiate the Loncin G200FA engine of this gas-powered pressure washer, a traditional pull-start mechanism is employed.
Fuel for the pressure washer is housed in a tank capable of holding up to 0.8 gallon of gasoline.
Design & Handling
The Kärcher G3200P's wheelbarrow-style design enhances both mobility and stability, enabling seamless navigation and consistent performance, even on rugged terrain. Built to endure, the welded steel frame ensures the assembly's longevity by providing stability and safeguarding internal components under all working conditions. The handle adds to the G3200P convenience of transport.
At 67 lbs, this unit strikes a balance between portability and stability, making it easy for most users to handle. That weight is mainly due to the inclusion of the 196cc Loncin G200FA engine and a solid welded steel frame. Despite this, the G3200P's two never-flat wheels ensure effortless maneuverability.
Main Features
The Kärcher G3200P
The Kärcher G3200P comes with a spray gun, a wand, a pressure hose, 4 nozzles and a detergent injection feature, which are detailed below.
