Description
Zoom on the Predator 4400
In summary, the Predator 4400 is a heavy duty, commercial pressure washer, that offers an all-around versatile cleaning experience, and also:
- spot cleaning of hard, unpainted surfaces, reaching high areas, and removing stubborn stains
- broad cleaning of hard surfaces, vehicle washing, and surface preparation for painting
- gentle cleaning of delicate surfaces, and low pressure cleaning of larger areas
- applying detergents or chemicals, and rinsing surfaces afterward
The following sections will present you in detail its power characteristics and design, its main features and all the additional features it has to offer.
Power
The Predator 4400
Utilizing an impressive 420cc (13 hp) engine, this machine's brass triplex pump can deliver a pressure of 4400 PSI (around 73 times stronger than a standard garden hose) and a flow rate of up to 4.2 GPM (values claimed by the manufacturer). Thus, the Predator 4400 achieves a cleaning power of 18480 Cleaning Units.
To start the Predator engine of this gas-powered washer, users employ the familiar pull-start technique.
Gasoline is stored in a fuel tank with a maximum capacity of 1.45 gallon, which provides an approximate runtime of 120 minutes.
Design & Handling
With its wheelbarrow design, the Predator 4400 delivers superior maneuverability and stability, facilitating easy transport and steady performance across various surfaces. Built to endure, the welded steel frame ensures the assembly's longevity by providing stability and safeguarding internal components under all working conditions. The handle adds to the 4400 convenience of transport.
With its weight clocking in at 133.5 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. A key role in its final weight is played by its 420cc Predator engine, the triplex pump and welded steel frame. Despite this, the presence of two 12" never-flat wheels reduces the complexity of moving the 4400, even on rugged surfaces.
Main Features
The Predator 4400
Along with the Predator 4400 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: While the device doesn't feature a soap tank, detergent supply is ensured by a siphon hose. Attachment of a soap nozzle prompts the pressure washer to automatically introduce and blend the detergent with the water.
- Pressure hose: The unit comes equipped with an included 50 ft high-pressure hose, which can be neatly stored on the unit when idle, thanks to a set of convenient hooks, ensuring easy access and organization.
- Spray gun and wand: A side hook allows for an easy storage of the included classic ergonomic spray gun and its wand.
- Nozzles: The following table provides information on the 5 included nozzles and their recommended surface uses.
