Power
The Simpson MS61114
Its axial cam pump, which utilizes a 149cc engine, may deliver a pressure of up to 2800 PSI (almost 47 times more than a standard garden hose) and a flow of up to 2.3 GPM. These values correspond to a cleaning power of 6440 Cleaning Units.
A classic pull-start mechanism is responsible for starting the gas-powered pressure washer’s KOHLER XTX675 engine.
Gasoline storage is facilitated by a steel fuel tank with a maximum capacity of 0.3 gallon.
Design & Handling
The Simpson MS61114 offers superb mobility, with a hand truck design and approximate dimensions of D24 x W17 x H36 in. The strong welded steel frame assures assembly longevity. The handle adds to the MS61114 convenience of transport.
Most users can maneuver this model easily, as it weighs just 55 lbs. A major component of its weight are its 149cc KOHLER XTX675 engine and welded steel frame. But, as the MS61114 does have a set of two 12" never-flat wheels, it can be easily maneuvered and manipulated.
Main Features
The Simpson MS61114
Along with the Simpson MS61114 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: 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. If a soap nozzle is attached, the device will proceed to add the detergent to the water automatically.
- Pressure hose: The 25 ft ⌀1/4" high-pressure hose, which is included with the device, can be stored neatly on the unit itself when idle, using a set of easy-to-use straps.
