Ahead are presented its power characteristics and design, its main features and any other additional features.
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.
Initiating the Karcher KXS® engine of this gas pressure washer is achieved through a classic pull-start process.
The pressure washer's tank has a maximum capacity of 0.95 gallon for storing 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. The robust welded steel frame guarantees longevity of the assembly, providing stability and protection for internal components, even under demanding working conditions. The handle adds to the G3200P convenience of transport.
At 67 lbs, this unit is light enough for easy handling, yet substantial enough to provide stability during operation. This substantial weight can be partially attributed to the incorporation of the 196cc Karcher KXS® engine and a resilient welded steel frame. However, with its two never-flat wheels, the G3200P remains highly maneuverable.
Main Features
The Kärcher G3200P
Along with the Kärcher G3200P 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.
- 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: The unit comes equipped with an included 25 ft high-pressure hose, which can be neatly stored on the unit when idle, thanks to a set of easy-to-use straps, ensuring easy access and organization.
- Spray gun and wand: The included classic ergonomic spray gun and its wand can be easily stored in a side hook.
- Nozzles: Refer to the table below for details on the 4 included nozzles and their recommended surface applications.
