Zoom on the Simpson MS61472
The Simpson MS61472 is a heavy duty pressure washer, that provides its users with an all-around versatile cleaning experience, and enables:
- precise spot cleaning of hard, unpainted surfaces, reaching elevated areas, and effectively removing stubborn stains
- broad cleaning of hard surfaces, vehicle washing, and surface preparation for painting
- gentle cleaning of delicate surfaces, and low pressure cleaning of larger areas
- using cleaning solutions, and rinsing surfaces to remove residue
Ahead are presented its power characteristics and design, its main features and any other additional features.
Power
With an impressive 208cc engine, its axial cam pump delivers a pressure of 3400 PSI (roughly 57 times more than a standard garden hose) and a flow of up to 2.5 GPM (CETA-certified values), resulting in the Simpson MS61472's cleaning power of 8500 Cleaning Units.
To start the CRX 210 engine of this gas-powered washer, users employ the familiar pull-start technique.
The pressure washer's steel tank has a maximum capacity of 1 gallon for storing gasoline.
Design & Handling
The wheelbarrow design of the Simpson MS61472 offers enhanced mobility and stability, making it ideal for navigating uneven terrain and ensuring steady operation during heavy-duty cleaning tasks. With its strong welded steel frame, the assembly is built to last, providing stability and safeguarding internal components, even in challenging environments. The reversible handle offers further versatility, as its different positions make the unit less bulky when stored.
With a weight of 66 lbs, the unit is comfortably maneuverable for most users, allowing for efficient handling during cleaning tasks. A significant portion of this weight is attributed to the inclusion of the 208cc CRX 210 engine and a sturdy welded steel frame. Still, the MS61472's two 10" pneumatic wheels ensure easy handling and maneuverability.
Main Features
The Simpson MS61472 comes with a spray gun, a wand, a pressure hose, 5 nozzles and a detergent injection feature, which are detailed below.
- Soap injection: Despite the absence of a soap tank, detergent supply is facilitated through the use of a siphon hose. When a soap nozzle is connected, the pressure washer takes the initiative to mix the detergent with the water flow automatically.
- Pressure hose: Utilizing a set of convenient hooks, the unit offers a convenient solution for storing the included 25 ft ⌀1/4" high-pressure hose when it's not in use, keeping it neatly organized.
- 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.
