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 and high-reach cleaning
- thorough cleaning of hard, paint-free surfaces
- cleaning of painted and frail surfaces
- application of detergent and cleaning solutions
Its power characteristics and design, its main features and all its additional features are presented ahead.
Power
With a 196 cc (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.
This gas-powered pressure washer’s Kohler RH265 engine is started by a traditional pull-start mechanism.
The fuel is stored in a tank, which can hold up to 0.5 gallon of gasoline.
Design & Handling
The wheelbarrow design of the Simpson MS60763-S grants mobility and stability to the unit. The robust steel frame guarantees longevity of the assembly. The handle adds to the MS60763-S convenience of transport.
The device can be maneuvered with ease by most, since it only weighs 58 lbs. A major component of its weight are its 196 cc Kohler RH265 engine and steel frame. Nethertheless, thanks to its two 12" never-flat wheels, the MS60763-S remains very easy to manipulate and maneuver.
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: Detergent is fed in through a siphon hose, since the device lacks a soap tank. The automatic soap dilution mechanism of the Simpson MS60763-S will dilute the detergent with a 7:1 ratio. The detergent is automatically added to the water when a soap nozzle is connected.
- Pressure hose: Using a set of convenient hooks, the included 25 ft ⌀1/4" high-pressure hose can be easily stored on the unit when it is not running.
- Spray gun and wand: A side hook enables you to easily store the included classic ergonomic spray gun and its steel wand.
- Nozzles: The table below shows you the 5 included nozzles, as well as the surfaces they're the most appropriate for.
