  • focused spot cleaning on hard, unpainted surfaces, accessing high spots, and efficiently eliminating stubborn stains
  • general cleaning of hard surfaces , washing vehicles, and preparing surfaces for painting
  • soft cleaning of delicate surfaces, and gentle cleaning for larger areas with low pressure
  • utilizing cleaning solutions, and rinsing surfaces clean

Its power characteristics and design, its main features and all its additional features are presented ahead.

Power

Its axial cam pump, which utilizes the brand new, specially built for pressure washers, Honda GCV170 (opens in a new tab) engine, may deliver a pressure of up to 3000 PSI (almost 50 times more than a standard garden hose) and a flow of up to 2.4 GPM. Corresponding to these values is a cleaning power of 7200 Cleaning Units.

To start the 166cc (4.8 hp) engine of this gas-powered washer, users employ the familiar pull-start technique.

Containing gasoline, the pressure washer's fuel tank can hold a maximum of 0.25 gallon.

Design & Handling

The hand truck design of the Simpson MS60809-S ensures effortless movement and transportation. 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 MS60809-S convenience of transport.

With a weight of 61 lbs, the unit is comfortably maneuverable for most users, allowing for efficient handling during cleaning tasks. The unit's weight is principally a result of the inclusion of the 166cc Honda GCV170 engine and a strong welded steel frame. Still, the MS60809-S's two 12" never-flat wheels ensure easy handling and maneuverability.

Main Features

Along with the Simpson MS60809-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 without a built-in soap tank, the device relies on a siphon hose to provide detergent. The Simpson MS60809-S features an automatic soap dilution mechanism that dilutes detergent according to a predefined ratio of 7:1. Connection of a soap nozzle triggers the pressure washer to automatically incorporate the detergent into the water stream.
  • Pressure hose: When not in use, the unit allows for tidy storage of the included 25 ft ⌀1/4" high-pressure hose using a set of easy-to-use straps, ensuring convenient organization.
  • Spray gun and wand: A side hook enables you to easily store the included classic ergonomic spray gun and its steel wand.
  • Nozzles: Find details on the 4 included nozzles and their recommended surface applications in the table below.
