Portable pressure washer system

A portable pressure washer system having a frame, the portable pressure washer system comprising:

• a torque generating device supported by the frame and having an output shaft;
• a pump coupled to the output shaft to receive a torque generated by the torque generating device, the pump having an outlet and an inlet configured to be connected to a fluid source;
• a fluid delivery mechanism coupled to the outlet, the fluid delivery mechanism having an actuator mounted thereto for controlling a flow of fluid from the fluid delivery mechanism;
• a fluid conduit connecting the pump outlet to the fluid delivery mechanism;
• a fluid container in fluid communication with the fluid conduit, the fluid container configured to hold a volume of cleaning solution;
• and
• a speed control device that controls a speed of the torque generating device, wherein the speed control device is controlled remotely by the actuator such that the speed of the torque generating device is altered as the actuator is altered.

A portable pressure washer system comprising:

• a torque generating device having an output shaft;
• a pump selectively coupled to the output shaft to selectively receive a torque generated by the torque generating device, the pump having an outlet and an inlet configured to be connected to a fluid source;
• a clutch mechanically disposed between the torque generating device and the pump, wherein the clutch transfers torque to the pump when the output shaft rotates above a predetermined speed;
• and
• a speed control device for controlling a speed of the torque generating device, the speed control device biased to an idle condition to sustain operation of the torque generating device, wherein when the speed control device is in the idle condition, the torque generating device operates at a speed less than the predetermined speed.
