Starting the KOHLER SH270 engine of this gas pressure washer involves using a conventional pull-start method.
The pressure washer's tank has a maximum capacity of 0.87 gallon for storing gasoline..
Design & Handling
With its hand truck design, the Ryobi RY803223 provides excellent maneuverability. The durable steel tubing frame of the assembly ensures its longevity, providing stability and shielding internal components from damage, even in tough conditions. The foam-padded fixed handle adds to the RY803223 convenience of transport, while offering a comfortable grip.
At 66.9 lbs, this unit is light enough for easy handling, yet substantial enough to provide stability during operation. The incorporation of the 196cc KOHLER SH270 engine and a durable steel tubing frame contribute considerably to its overall weight. Yet, its two 12" never-flat wheels ensure the RY803223 remains effortlessly maneuverable.
Main Features
The Ryobi RY803223
The Ryobi RY803223's package includes a spray gun, a wand, a pressure hose, a 5-in-1 nozzle and a detergent injection feature, with a more detailed description below.
- Soap injection: Detergent is stored in a dedicated tank. The detergent is diluted with a 20:1 ratio by the Ryobi RY803223's automatic soap dilution mechanism. Detergent is automatically added to the water when "soap" is selected on the 5-in-1 nozzle.
- Pressure hose: With a set of convenient hooks, the unit offers a practical solution for maintaining workspace order, allowing the included 35 ft high-pressure hose to be neatly stored when idle.
- Spray gun and wand: A side hook allows for an easy storage of the included classic ergonomic spray gun and its wand.
- Nozzle: a 5-in-1 nozzle is included.
Ryobi's 5-in-1 nozzle offers five spray pattern settings (0°, 25°, 40°, short-range soap, long-range soap). Selection of a specific spray pattern is made by simply rotating the spray selector to the desired setting.
