Its power characteristics and design, its main features and all its additional features are presented ahead.
Power
With a 149cc engine, its axial cam pump delivers a pressure of 2800 PSI (roughly 47 times more than a standard garden hose) and a flow of up to 2.3 GPM (CETA-certified values), resulting in the Simpson MS61114's cleaning power of 6440 Cleaning Units.
The KOHLER XTX675 engine of this gas-powered pressure washer is initiated by a classic pull-start mechanism.
The pressure washer's steel tank has a maximum capacity of 0.3 gallon for storing gasoline..
Design & Handling
With its hand truck design and approximate dimensions of D24 x W17 x H36 in, the Simpson MS61114 provides great mobility. The welded steel frame's robustness ensures the assembly's longevity, maintaining stability and protecting internal components, even in the harshest environments. The handle adds to the MS61114 convenience of transport.
At 55 lbs, this unit strikes a balance between portability and stability, making it easy for most users to handle. This weight is largely influenced by the presence of the 149cc KOHLER XTX675 engine and a robust welded steel frame. Nevertheless, the MS61114's two 12" never-flat wheels ensure it remains easy to maneuver.
Main Features
The Simpson MS61114 comes with a spray gun, a wand, a pressure hose, 4 nozzles and a detergent injection feature, which are detailed below.
- Soap injection: A safe detergent storage is facilitated by a dedicated tank. The detergent is diluted with a 7:1 ratio by the Simpson MS61114's automatic soap dilution mechanism. Upon connecting a soap nozzle, the pressure washer takes over the task of seamlessly combining the detergent with 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 wand may be conveniently stored in a side hook.
- Nozzles: Review the table below to learn about the 4 included nozzles and the surfaces they're recommended for.
