The Honda GCV160 engine of this gas pressure washer is activated by pulling a starter cord, following a traditional approach.
Fuel for the pressure washer is housed in a tank capable of holding up to 0.25 gallon of gasoline.

The robust welded steel frame guarantees longevity of the assembly, providing stability and protection for internal components, even under demanding working conditions. The handle adds to the MS60805-S convenience of transport.
This unit, weighing 56 lbs, strikes a comfortable balance between portability and stability, ensuring easy maneuvering for users of various strengths.
