Abstract
A pressure washer frame is modified to include a hose reel and a gunvalve rack so that those items can be transported to a job site with the pressure washer. The hose reel is created by connecting a stop member to the conventional handle with a pair of brackets so that a hose can be coiled about the handle and held against slippage by the stop member. The rack for the gunvalve is created by adding a pair of longitudinally spaced cradles to the frame. The first cradle is added to the handle end of the frame and supports the pistol grip part of the gunvalve. The second cradle is added to the opposite end of the frame and supports the distal end of the gunvalve. A strap associated with the second cradle holds down the distal end.
