Description
Zoom on the Simpson MS60763-S
In a nutshell, the Simpson MS60763-S is a heavy duty, commercial pressure washer, which not only offers an all-around versatile cleaning experience, but that also allows:
- spot cleaning of hard, unpainted surfaces or high reach areas
- intense cleaning of tough, paintless surfaces
- cleaning of painted and fragile surfaces
- application 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
With a 196cc (6.5 hp) engine, its axial cam pump delivers a pressure of 3100 PSI (roughly 52 times more than a standard garden hose) and a flow of up to 2.4 GPM (CETA-certified values), resulting in the Simpson MS60763-S's cleaning power of 7440 Cleaning Units.
The Kohler RH265 engine of this gas-powered pressure washer gets started by a classic pull-start mechanism.
Gasoline is stored in a fuel tank with a maximum capacity of 0.5 gallon.
Design & Handling
The wheelbarrow design of the Simpson MS60763-S grants mobility and stability to the unit. The strong steel frame assures assembly longevity. The handle adds to the MS60763-S convenience of transport.
The majority of users will be able to maneuver this unit easily, it only weighs 58 lbs. Its 196cc Kohler RH265 engine and steel frame account for a good chunk of that weight. But, as the MS60763-S does have a set of two 12" never-flat wheels, it can be easily maneuvered and manipulated.
Main Features
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: Even though the device doesn't have a soap tank, detergent is supplied by a siphon hose. The Simpson MS60763-S includes an automatic soap dilution mechanism, which will dilute the detergent using a 7:1 ratio. If a soap nozzle is attached, the device will proceed to add the detergent to the water automatically.
- Pressure hose: A neat storage for the included 25 ft ⌀1/4" high-pressure hose is facilitated by a set of convenient hooks.
- Spray gun and wand: Both the classic ergonomic spray gun and its steel wand may be conveniently stored in a side hook.
- Nozzles: The 5 included nozzles, and the respective surfaces they’re appropriate for, are listed in the table below.
