Description
Zoom on the Simpson MS61084-S
In a nutshell, the Simpson MS61084-S is a heavy duty, commercial pressure washer, which not only offers an all-around versatile cleaning experience, but that also allows:
- precise spot cleaning of hard, unpainted surfaces, reaching elevated areas, and effectively removing stubborn stains
- comprehensive cleaning of hard surfaces, vehicle washing, and readying surfaces for painting
- soft cleaning of delicate surfaces, and gentle cleaning for larger areas with low pressure
- using cleaning solutions, and rinsing surfaces to remove residue
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
Powered by a 196cc (6.5 hp) engine, its axial cam pump can deliver a pressure of 3400 PSI (around 57 times more than a standard garden hose) and a flow of up to 2.5 GPM (CETA-certified values). With these values combined, the Simpson MS61084-S boasts a cleaning power of 8500 Cleaning Units.
To initiate the Kohler SH265 engine of this gas-powered pressure washer, a traditional pull-start mechanism is employed.
Fuel for the pressure washer is housed in a steel tank capable of holding up to 3.4 gallons of gasoline.
Design & Handling
Characterized by its wheelbarrow layout, the Simpson MS61084-S provides improved mobility and stability, facilitating easy movement and steadfast operation for effective cleaning results. The welded steel frame's robustness ensures the assembly's longevity, maintaining stability and protecting internal components, even in the harshest environments. The reversible handle offers further versatility, as its different positions make the unit less bulky when stored.
With its 64 lbs weight, this unit offers a manageable size that allows for easy handling by most individuals, enhancing user convenience during operation. The incorporation of the 196cc Kohler SH265 engine and a durable welded steel frame contribute considerably to its overall weight. Despite this, the MS61084-S's two 10" pneumatic wheels ensure effortless maneuverability.
Main Features
The Simpson MS61084-S comes with a spray gun, a wand, a pressure hose, 5 nozzles and a detergent injection feature, which are detailed below.
- Soap injection: While not equipped with a soap tank, the device maintains detergent supply through a siphon hose. Once a soap nozzle is connected, the pressure washer automatically blends the detergent with the water flow.
- Pressure hose: With a set of convenient hooks, the unit provides a convenient way to store the included 25 ft ⌀5/16" high-pressure hose when not in use, keeping it organized and readily accessible.
- Spray gun and wand: A side hook enables you to easily store the included classic ergonomic spray gun and its wand.
- Nozzles: Refer to the table below for details on the 5 included nozzles and their recommended surface applications.
