Description
Zoom on the Powerhorse 1574200
The Powerhorse 1574200, a heavy duty, commercial pressure washer, gives its user an all-around versatile cleaning experience, topped off by the following features:
- spot cleaning of hard, unpainted surfaces or high reach areas
- intense cleaning of hard, unpainted surfaces
- cleaning of painted and frail surfaces
- applying detergent and cleaning solutions
Its power characteristics and design, its main features and all its additional features are presented ahead.
Power
The Powerhorse 1574200
Its triplex pump, which utilizes a powerful 420 cc engine, may deliver a pressure of up to 4000 PSI (almost 67 times more than a standard garden hose) and a flow of up to 4 GPM. These values correspond to a cleaning power of 16000 Cleaning Units.
This gas-powered pressure washer’s engine is started by a traditional pull-start mechanism.
Gasoline storage is facilitated by a fuel tank with a maximum capacity of 1.7 gallon.
Design & Handling
Thanks to its hand truck design and approximate dimensions of D29 x W24 x H46 in, the Powerhorse 1574200 offers great mobility. The foam-padded fixed handle adds to the 1574200 convenience of transport, while offering a comfortable grip.
The unit's weight of 126 lbs renders its carrying and transportation challenging, as it is far from lightweight. The main contributors to its weight are its 420 cc engine, the triplex pump and frame. However, the unit is mobile thanks to its two 10" never-flat wheels, which add to its movability and allow it to be manipulated smoothly on the job.
Main Features
The Powerhorse 1574200
Along with the Powerhorse 1574200 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: A safe detergent storage is facilitated by a dedicated tank. Whenever a soap nozzle is connected, the detergent is automatically added to the water.
- Pressure hose: The included 35 ft ⌀3/8" high-pressure hose can be neatly stored on the unit when idle thanks to a set of convenient hooks.
- Spray gun and wand: The included classic ergonomic spray gun and its wand can be easily stored in a side hook.
- Nozzles: The 5 included nozzles, and the respective surfaces they’re appropriate for, are listed in the table below.
