Power
Using a 196cc engine, its triplex pump delivers a pressure of up to 3600 PSI (roughly 60 times more than a standard garden hose) and a flow of up to 2.5 GPM (CETA-certified values). When these values are taken together, they yield a cleaning power of 9000 Cleaning Units.
The Honda GX200 engine of this gas pressure washer is activated by pulling a starter cord, following a traditional approach.
The pressure washer's steel tank has a maximum capacity of 0.95 gallon for storing gasoline.
Design & Handling
Featuring a wheelbarrow design, the Simpson PS60995 prioritizes maneuverability and stability, ensuring smooth handling and reliable functionality in demanding cleaning applications. The 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 weight clocking in at 77 lbs, this unit's heftiness can't be ignored, presenting significant difficulties for users who need to lift and transport it, especially over uneven terrain. The main contributors to its weight are its 196cc Honda GX200 engine, the triplex pump and steel frame. Despite this, the presence of two 10" pneumatic wheels reduces the complexity of moving the PS60995, even on rugged surfaces.
Main Features
Along with the Simpson PS60995 itself, the package also includes a spray gun, a wand, a pressure hose, 5 nozzles and a detergent injection feature, which are discussed in further detail below.
- Soap injection: Detergent is fed in through a siphon hose, since the device lacks a soap tank. The automatic soap dilution mechanism of the Simpson PS60995 will dilute the detergent with a 7:1 ratio. Upon connecting a soap nozzle, the pressure washer takes over the task of seamlessly combining the detergent with the water flow.
- Pressure hose: The unit comes equipped with an included 25 ft ⌀5/16" high-pressure hose, which can be neatly stored on the unit when idle, thanks to a set of convenient hooks, ensuring easy access and organization.
- 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.
