Description

Zoom on the Predator 3200

In summary, the Predator 3200 is a heavy duty, commercial pressure washer, that offers an all-around versatile cleaning experience, and also:

  • spot cleaning of hard, unpainted surfaces and high-reach cleaning
  • intense cleaning of hard, unpainted surfaces
  • cleaning of painted or delicate surfaces
  • use of detergent and cleaning solutions

Its power characteristics and design, its main features and all its additional features are presented ahead.

Power

The Predator 3200 in use

The Predator 3200

Its axial cam pump, which utilizes a powerful 223 cc (6.8 hp) engine, may deliver a pressure of up to 3200 PSI (almost 53 times more than a standard garden hose) and a flow of up to 2.8 GPM. These values correspond to a cleaning power of 8960 Cleaning Units.

This gas-powered pressure washer’s Predator engine is started by a traditional pull-start mechanism.

The fuel is stored in a tank, which can hold up to 0.79 gallon of gasoline.

Design & Handling

With its hand truck design and approximate dimensions of D27 x W20 x H43 in, the Predator 3200 provides great mobility. The robust steel frame guarantees longevity of the assembly. The folding handle enhances its mobility, while allowing for a convenient storage.

The device can be maneuvered with ease by most, since it only weighs 66.5 lbs. Its 223 cc Predator engine and steel frame account for a good chunk of that weight. Nethertheless, thanks to its two 12" never-flat wheels, the 3200 remains very easy to manipulate and maneuver.

Main Features

The Predator 3200 in use

The Predator 3200

The Predator 3200's package includes a spray gun, a wand, a pressure hose, 5 nozzles and a detergent injection feature, with a more detailed description below.

  • Soap injection: A safe detergent storage is facilitated by a dedicated tank. The automatic soap dilution mechanism of the Predator 3200 will dilute the detergent with a 7:1 ratio. If a soap nozzle is attached, the device will proceed to add the detergent to the water automatically.
  • Pressure hose: The included 25 ft 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 table below shows you the 5 included nozzles, as well as the surfaces they're the most appropriate for.

  • Emissions: The Predator 3200 is EPA-approved and CARB-compliant. And so, this pressure washer is available for sale and purchase in any of the 50 states, including California.
