Power
The Simpson CM61083
The Simpson CM61083's axial cam pump, powered by an impressive 212 cc engine, can provide a pressure of up to 3400 PSI (approximately 57 times more than a standard garden hose) and a flow of up to 2.5 GPM (CETA-certified values). The Simpson CM61083 thus has a cleaning power of 8500 Cleaning Units.
A classic pull-start mechanism is responsible for starting the gas-powered pressure washer’s Simpson engine.
Gasoline is stored in a fuel tank with a maximum capacity of 0.7 gallon.
Design & Handling
The Simpson CM61083 offers superb mobility, with a hand truck design and approximate dimensions of D13.5 x W22 x H29.3 in. The robust and sturdy steel frame offers longevity to the assembly. The handle adds to the CM61083 convenience of transport.
Weighing 63 lbs, the unit is easy to maneuver by most people. Its 212 cc Simpson engine and steel frame all add up to a substantial part of that weight. However, the two 10" pneumatic wheels allow the CM61083 to be easily manipulated and maneuvered.
