Power
The Kärcher G3600P
With a powerful 212cc (5.9 hp) 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 2.6 GPM (CETA-certified values), resulting in the Kärcher G3600P's cleaning power of 9360 Cleaning Units.
The Karcher KXS® engine of this gas pressure washer is activated by pulling a starter cord, following a traditional approach.
Gasoline is stored in a fuel tank with a maximum capacity of 0.95 gallon.
Design & Handling
The Kärcher G3600P is very mobile, due to its hand truck design and approximate dimensions of L32.2 x W22 x H30.8 in. Built to endure, the steel tubing frame ensures the assembly's longevity by providing stability and safeguarding internal components under all working conditions. The handle adds to the G3600P convenience of transport.
With a weight of 64 lbs, this unit is designed for ease of maneuverability, catering to a wide range of users. This substantial weight can be partially attributed to the incorporation of the 212cc Karcher KXS® engine, the triplex pump and a resilient steel tubing frame. However, with its two 10" never-flat wheels, the G3600P remains highly maneuverable.
Main Features
The Kärcher G3600P
Along with the Kärcher G3600P 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: Detergent is fed in through a siphon hose, since the device lacks a soap tank. Connection of a soap nozzle triggers the pressure washer to automatically incorporate the detergent into the water stream.
- Pressure hose: Utilizing a set of convenient hooks, the unit offers a convenient solution for storing the included 35 ft high-pressure hose when it's not in use, keeping it neatly organized.
- Spray gun and wand: Both the classic ergonomic spray gun and its wand may be conveniently stored in a side hook.
- Nozzles: In the table below, you can see the 4 included nozzles alongside their respective recommended surface uses.
15° | 25° | 40° | Soap | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Concrete, brick, masonry | ||||
| Siding, gutters, house | ||||
| Fencing, deck, patio | ||||
| Lawn equipment, boat, RV |
