Power
The Simpson MS60773-S
With a 160cc (4.4 hp) engine, its axial cam pump delivers a pressure of 2800 PSI (roughly 47 times more than a standard garden hose) and a flow of up to 2.3 GPM (CETA-certified values), resulting in the Simpson MS60773-S's cleaning power of 6440 Cleaning Units.
The Honda GCV160 engine of this gas-powered pressure washer gets started by a classic pull-start mechanism.
Gasoline storage is facilitated by a fuel tank with a maximum capacity of 0.25 gallon.
Design & Handling
The Simpson MS60773-S is very mobile, due to its hand truck design and approximate dimensions of D26 x W18 x H35 in. The robust steel frame guarantees longevity of the assembly. The handle adds to the MS60773-S convenience of transport.
The majority of users will be able to maneuver this unit easily, it only weighs 61 lbs. Its 160cc Honda GCV160 engine and steel frame account for a good chunk of that weight. Since the MS60773-S has a set of two 12" never-flat wheels, it is still easily maneuvered and manipulated.
Main Features
The Simpson MS60773-S
Along with the Simpson MS60773-S itself, the package also includes a spray gun, a wand, a pressure hose, 4 nozzles and a detergent injection feature, which are discussed in further detail below.
- Soap injection: Even though the device doesn't have a soap tank, detergent is supplied by a siphon hose. The detergent is diluted with a 7:1 ratio by the Simpson MS60773-S's automatic soap dilution mechanism. If a soap nozzle is attached, the device will proceed to add the detergent to the water automatically.
- Pressure hose: The included 25 ft ⌀1/4" high-pressure hose can be neatly stored on the unit when idle thanks to 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.
