Powerhorse 115178 - 3800 PSI 3.6 GPM 274cc Gas Pressure Washer

Power

Fueled by a powerful 274cc engine, its triplex pump can generate a forceful pressure of 3800 PSI (roughly 63 times that of a standard garden hose) and a flow rate of up to 3.6 GPM (values claimed by the manufacturer). When these values are taken together, they yield a cleaning power of 13680 Cleaning Units.

To initiate the 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 1.32 gallon of gasoline.

Design & Handling

With its wheelbarrow-inspired design, the Powerhorse 115178 aims for excellent mobility and stability, enabling effortless maneuvering and dependable performance across diverse environments. Guaranteeing longevity, the robust steel tubing frame offers stability and protects internal components, even when subjected to demanding tasks. The reversible handle offers further versatility, as its different positions make the unit less bulky when stored.

With its weight clocking in at 120 lbs, this unit's heftiness can't be ignored, presenting significant difficulties for users who need to lift and transport it, especially over uneven terrain. Its 274cc engine, the triplex pump and steel tubing frame are mainly responsible for its heavy weight. Despite this, the presence of two 10" pneumatic wheels reduces the complexity of moving the 115178, even on rugged surfaces.

Main Features

The Powerhorse 115178's package includes a spray gun, a wand, a pressure hose, 4 nozzles and a detergent injection feature, with a more detailed description below.

• Soap injection: Detergent storage is ensured by a dedicated tank. With its automatic soap dilution mechanism, the Powerhorse 115178 simplifies the process of blending detergent to the prescribed ratio of 15:1. Once a soap nozzle is connected, the pressure washer automatically blends the detergent with the water flow.
• Pressure hose: For easy organization, the included 35 ft ⌀3/8" high-pressure hose can be stored on the unit using a set of convenient hooks when it's not in use, ensuring a clutter-free workspace.
• Spray gun and wand: A side hook enables you to easily store the included classic ergonomic spray gun and its wand.
• Nozzles: Below, you'll find a table outlining the 4 included nozzles and their recommended surfaces.

Important note: The shapes of the depicted nozzles serve for illustration purposes only and may vary. Symbols used include a red cross for 'Not recommended,' a green check for 'Suitable,' and an orange check for 'Use with caution.'
