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
Powered by a 170cc engine, its axial cam pump can deliver a pressure of 2900 PSI (around 48 times more than a standard garden hose) and a flow of up to 2.4 GPM (CETA-certified values). With these values combined, the Simpson CM61455-S boasts a cleaning power of 6960 Cleaning Units.
The engine of this gas-powered pressure washer is initiated by a classic pull-start mechanism.
Fuel for the pressure washer is housed in a tank capable of holding up to 0.21 gallon of gasoline.
Design & Handling
The hand truck design of the Simpson CM61455-S ensures effortless movement and transportation. Guaranteeing longevity, the robust steel frame offers stability and protects internal components, even when subjected to demanding tasks. The handle adds to the CM61455-S convenience of transport.
At 50 lbs, this unit is light enough for easy handling, yet substantial enough to provide stability during operation. The incorporation of the 170cc engine and a durable steel frame contribute considerably to its overall weight. Yet, its two 12" never-flat wheels ensure the CM61455-S remains effortlessly maneuverable.
