The KOHLER SH270 engine of this gas-powered pressure washer relies on an old-school pull-start mechanism to get started.

Gasoline storage is facilitated by a fuel tank with a maximum capacity of 0.87 gallon.

Design & Handling

    I own a Ryobi RY803223 . Only complaint I have is the “Owner’s Manual” doesn’t have a Parts Diagram with part numbers. Unit works great!

    + PROS: Good Unit
    - CONS: Ordering parts for this model number without access to parts diagram with part numbers is a pain.
