Power
The Simpson CM61083
Its axial cam pump, which utilizes an impressive 210cc engine, may deliver a pressure of up to 3400 PSI (almost 57 times more than a standard garden hose) and a flow of up to 2.5 GPM. These values correspond to a cleaning power of 8500 Cleaning Units.
A classic pull-start mechanism is responsible for starting the gas-powered pressure washer’s CRX 210 engine.
A fuel tank with a maximum capacity of 0.7 gallon is used to store gasoline.
Design & Handling
The Simpson CM61083 is very mobile, due to its hand truck design and approximate dimensions of D13.5 x W22 x H29.3 in. The robust steel frame guarantees longevity of the assembly. The handle adds to the CM61083 convenience of transport.
Weighing 63 lbs, the unit is easy to maneuver by most people. A major component of its weight are its 210cc CRX 210 engine and steel frame. Nethertheless, thanks to its two 10" pneumatic wheels, the CM61083 remains very easy to manipulate and maneuver.
