Description
Zoom on the Simpson CM61083
The Simpson CM61083 is a heavy duty, commercial pressure washer, and enables:
- spot cleaning of hard, paint-free surfaces and out-of-reach areas
- intense cleaning of tough, paintless surfaces
- cleaning of painted and fragile surfaces
- use of detergent and cleaning solutions
The following sections will present you in detail its power characteristics and design, its main features and all the additional features it has to offer.
Power
Using a powerful 210cc engine, its axial cam pump delivers a pressure of up to 3400 PSI (roughly 57 times more than a standard garden hose) and a flow of up to 2.5 GPM (CETA-certified values). Together, the values result in a cleaning power of 8500 Cleaning Units.
The CRX 210 engine of this gas-powered pressure washer relies on an old-school pull-start mechanism to get started.
The fuel is stored in a tank, which can hold up to 0.7 gallon of gasoline.
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 210cc CRX 210 engine and steel frame account for a good chunk of that weight. But, as the CM61083 does have a set of two 10" pneumatic wheels, it can be easily maneuvered and manipulated.
Main Features
The Simpson CM61083's package includes a spray gun, a wand, a pressure hose, 4 nozzles and a detergent injection feature, with a more detailed description below.
- Soap injection: While the device doesn't feature a soap tank, detergent supply is ensured by a siphon hose. When a soap nozzle is connected, the detergent will be added automatically to the water.
- Pressure hose: Using a set of convenient hooks, the included 25 ft ⌀5/16" high-pressure hose can be easily stored on the unit when it is not running.
- Spray gun and wand: Both the classic ergonomic spray gun and its wand may be conveniently stored in a side hook.
- Nozzles: The 4 included nozzles, and the respective surfaces they’re appropriate for, are listed in the table below.
