- thorough cleaning of hard, paint-free surfaces
- cleaning of painted or delicate surfaces
- use of detergent and cleaning solutions
The following sections will present you in detail its power characteristics and design, its main features and all the additional features it has to offer.
Power
The Stanley SXPW3124's axial cam pump, powered by a 196 cc engine, can provide a pressure of up to 3100 PSI (approximately 52 times more than a standard garden hose) and a flow of up to 2.4 GPM (CETA-certified values). The Stanley SXPW3124 thus has a cleaning power of 7440 Cleaning Units.
The Stanley engine of this gas-powered pressure washer relies on an old-school pull-start mechanism to get started.
The fuel is stored in a tank, which can hold up to 0.26 gallon of gasoline.
Design & Handling
The Stanley SXPW3124 is very mobile, due to its hand truck design and approximate dimensions of D22 x W17.8 x H35.5 in. The robust and sturdy welded steel frame offers longevity to the assembly. The handle adds to the SXPW3124 convenience of transport.
The majority of users will be able to maneuver this unit easily, it only weighs 70 lbs. A major component of its weight are its 196 cc Stanley engine and welded steel frame. Since the SXPW3124 has a set of two 12" never-flat wheels, it is still easily maneuvered and manipulated.
