Power
The Simpson MS60763-S
With a 196cc (6.5 hp) engine powering it, the axial cam pump of this unit is capable of achieving a pressure of 3100 PSI (approximately 52 times greater than that of a standard garden hose) and a flow rate of up to 2.4 GPM (CETA-certified values). Corresponding to these values is a cleaning power of 7440 Cleaning Units.
The Kohler RH265 engine of this gas pressure washer is activated by pulling a starter cord, following a traditional approach.
The pressure washer's tank has a maximum capacity of 0.5 gallon for storing gasoline.
Design & Handling
Featuring a wheelbarrow design, the Simpson MS60763-S prioritizes maneuverability and stability, ensuring smooth handling and reliable functionality in demanding cleaning applications. The robust steel frame guarantees longevity of the assembly, providing stability and protection for internal components, even under demanding working conditions. The handle adds to the MS60763-S convenience of transport.
With a weight of 58 lbs, the unit is comfortably maneuverable for most users, allowing for efficient handling during cleaning tasks. Its 196cc Kohler RH265 engine and steel frame account for a good chunk of that weight. Still, the MS60763-S's two 12" never-flat wheels ensure easy handling and maneuverability.
Main Features
The Simpson MS60763-S
The Simpson MS60763-S comes with a spray gun, a wand, a pressure hose, 5 nozzles and a detergent injection feature, which are detailed below.
- Soap injection: Though lacking a dedicated soap tank, the device ensures detergent supply via a siphon hose. Featuring an automatic soap dilution mechanism, the Simpson MS60763-S ensures detergent is mixed to the specified ratio of 7:1 for optimal cleaning results. The detergent is automatically mixed with the water flow by the pressure washer when a soap nozzle is connected.
- Pressure hose: The unit comes equipped with an included 25 ft ⌀1/4" high-pressure hose, which can be neatly stored on the unit when idle, thanks to a set of convenient hooks, ensuring easy access and organization.
- Spray gun and wand: The included classic ergonomic spray gun and its steel wand can be easily stored in a side hook.
- Nozzles: Refer to the table below for details on the 5 included nozzles and their recommended surface applications.
