Ahead are presented its power characteristics and design, its main features and any other additional features.
Power
The Simpson MS61084-S's axial cam pump, powered by a 196 cc (6.5 hp) engine, can provide a pressure of up to 3400 PSI (approximately 57 times more than a standard garden hose) and a flow of up to 2.5 GPM (CETA-certified values). The Simpson MS61084-S thus has a cleaning power of 8500 Cleaning Units.
A classic pull-start mechanism is responsible for starting the gas-powered pressure washer’s Kohler SH265 engine.
Gasoline is stored in a steel fuel tank with a maximum capacity of 3.4 gallons.
Design & Handling
The wheelbarrow design of the Simpson MS61084-S grants mobility and stability to the unit. Its sturdy welded steel frame provides longevity to the assembly. The reversible handle offers further versatility, as its different positions make the unit less bulky when stored.
The majority of users will be able to maneuver this unit easily, it only weighs 64 lbs. Its 196 cc Kohler SH265 engine and welded steel frame all add up to a substantial part of that weight. The MS61084-S can still be easily manipulated and maneuvered, thanks to its two 10" pneumatic wheels.
Main Features
The Simpson MS61084-S's package includes a spray gun, a wand, a pressure hose, 5 nozzles and a detergent injection feature, with a more detailed description below.
- Soap injection: Detergent is fed in through a siphon hose, since the device lacks a soap tank. The detergent will be added automatically to the water when a soap nozzle is attached.
- Pressure hose: Using a set of convenient hooks, the included 25 ft ⌀5/16" high-pressure hose can be easily stored on the unit when it is not running.
- Spray gun and wand: A side hook enables you to easily store the included classic ergonomic spray gun and its wand.
- Nozzles: The table below shows you the 5 included nozzles, as well as the surfaces they're the most appropriate for.
