Power
The Simpson CM60976
The Simpson CM60976's axial cam pump, powered by a 13-amp induction motor, can provide a pressure of up to 2300 PSI (approximately 38 times more than a standard garden hose) and a flow of up to 1.2 GPM (CETA-certified values). Thus, the Simpson CM60976 achieves a cleaning power of 2760 Cleaning Units.
The CM60976's motor is effortlessly activated with a simple ON/OFF button, ensuring convenient operation. The unit is ready-to-use with peace of mind, thanks to the included 35 ft GFCI cord.
Design & Handling
With its hand truck design and approximate dimensions of D23.5 x W17.5 x H33.5 in, the Simpson CM60976 provides great mobility. Guaranteeing longevity, the robust steel frame offers stability and protects internal components, even when subjected to demanding tasks. The foam-padded fixed handle adds to the CM60976 convenience of transport, while offering a comfortable grip.
With a weight of 55 lbs, the unit is comfortably maneuverable for most users, allowing for efficient handling during cleaning tasks. This substantial weight can be partially attributed to the incorporation of the motor and a resilient steel frame. However, with its two 10" never-flat wheels, the CM60976 remains highly maneuverable.
Main Features
The Simpson CM60976
The Simpson CM60976's package includes a spray gun, a wand, a pressure hose, 3 nozzles and a detergent injection feature, with a more detailed description below.
- Soap injection: A safe detergent storage is facilitated by a 1 gal tank. Because the Simpson CM60976 lacks a soap dilution function, it's important to dilute detergent appropriately before using the pressure washer. Attachment of a soap nozzle prompts the pressure washer to automatically introduce and blend the detergent with the water.
- Pressure hose: For easy organization, the included 25 ft ⌀1/4" high-pressure hose can be stored on the unit using a set of easy-to-use straps when it's not in use, ensuring a clutter-free workspace.
- Spray gun and wand: A side hook enables you to easily store the included classic ergonomic spray gun and its steel wand.
- Nozzles: Review the table below to learn about the 3 included nozzles and the surfaces they're recommended for.
