  • targeted spot cleaning for hard, unpainted surfaces, reaching elevated areas, and thoroughly removing stubborn stains
  • general cleaning of hard surfaces , washing vehicles, and preparing surfaces for painting
  • delicate surface cleaning, andbroad area cleaning with reduced pressure
  • utilizing cleaning solutions, and rinsing surfaces clean

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

Using the brand new Honda GCV170 (opens in a new tab) engine, which is specially built for pressure washers, its axial cam pump delivers a pressure of up to 3000 PSI (roughly 50 times more than a standard garden hose) and a flow of up to 2.4 GPM (CETA-certified values). When these values are taken together, they yield a cleaning power of 7200 Cleaning Units.

For this gas-powered pressure washer, the 166cc (4.8 hp) engine is started using a time-tested pull-start mechanism.

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

Design & Handling

With its hand truck design, the Simpson MS60809-S provides excellent maneuverability. The sturdy welded steel frame ensures the longevity of the assembly, offering stability and protection for internal components, even during rigorous use. The handle adds to the MS60809-S convenience of transport.

With its 61 lbs weight, this unit offers a manageable size that allows for easy handling by most individuals, enhancing user convenience during operation. Its 166cc Honda GCV170 engine and welded steel frame account for a good chunk of that weight. Nevertheless, the MS60809-S's two 12" never-flat wheels ensure it remains easy to maneuver.

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: While the device doesn't feature a soap tank, detergent supply is ensured by a siphon hose. The Simpson MS60809-S is equipped with an automatic soap dilution mechanism, efficiently blending detergent to the predefined ratio of 7:1. Upon attaching a soap nozzle, the pressure washer seamlessly integrates the detergent into the water flow.
  • Pressure hose: The included 25 ft ⌀1/4" high-pressure hose can be neatly stored on the unit when not in use, utilizing a set of easy-to-use straps for convenient organization.
  • Spray gun and wand: Both the classic ergonomic spray gun and its steel wand may be conveniently stored in a side hook.
  • Nozzles: Find details on the 4 included nozzles and their recommended surface applications in the table below.
