Power
The Predator 2650
Using a 196cc (5.6 hp) engine, its axial cam pump delivers a pressure of up to 2650 PSI (roughly 44 times more than a standard garden hose) and a flow of up to 2.4 GPM (values claimed by the manufacturer). Together, the values result in a cleaning power of 6360 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 0.92 gallon.
Design & Handling
The Predator 2650 offers superb mobility, with a hand truck design. The robust and sturdy steel tubing frame offers longevity to the assembly. The folding handle enhances its mobility, while allowing for a convenient storage.
Weighing 63.5 lbs, the unit is easy to maneuver by most people. A major component of its weight are its 196cc engine and steel tubing frame. Nethertheless, thanks to its two 12" never-flat wheels, the 2650 remains very easy to manipulate and maneuver.
