DESCRIPTION

Professional Cleaning Power with Legendary Honda Reliability

When your job demands nothing less than maximum pressure, high heat, and bulletproof reliability, the HW4013HC Hot Water Pressure Washer delivers every time. Engineered for professionals in agriculture, construction, fleet maintenance, and heavy industry, this machine pairs the proven performance of a Honda GX390 engine with the raw cleaning force of 4,000 PSI at 4.0 GPM.

This isn't just a pressure washer — it’s a mobile hot water cleaning system powered by a 12V Beckett diesel burner, equipped with a Comet ZWD4040 Triplex Pump, and loaded with premium-grade accessories and features for serious work environments. Whether you’re cutting through baked-on grime or sanitizing equipment in the field, the HW4013HC is built to handle it.

Hot Water Cleaning at Its Toughest

Hot water is the secret weapon for removing grease, oil, and stubborn residues that cold water alone can’t touch. At the heart of this unit is a 12V Beckett burner, fueled by diesel and igniting a high-efficiency heating coil that brings water temps up to 200°F (93°C) in no time.

The adjustable thermostat gives you full temperature control for varying tasks—from degreasing shop floors to cleaning agricultural machinery—and the burner can be easily switched on or off using the integrated rocker switch, giving you ultimate flexibility between hot or cold water cleaning modes.

Legendary Honda GX390 Engine

At the core of the HW4013HC is the time-tested Honda GX390 389cc engine, trusted around the world for its power, durability, and quiet operation. Built with OHV technology, precision-engineered components, and low fuel consumption, this engine is ideal for the long hours and tough conditions that professionals work in.

It’s matched perfectly to the system’s performance requirements, providing consistent power to drive the pump, even during high-demand commercial use. When paired with a 55AH AGM deep cycle battery, this setup ensures reliable starts and long run times in the field.

Commercial-Grade Comet ZWD4040 Triplex Pump

This machine is built for endurance. The Comet ZWD4040 Triplex Pump is a high-performance, commercial-grade unit designed for rugged daily use. Its features include:

Whether you're running your system continuously on a jobsite or cycling between tasks, this pump is made to go the distance without compromise.

Durable Frame and Field-Ready Design

Durability doesn’t stop at the engine and pump. The entire pressure washer is built on a reinforced steel frame, powder-coated for rust resistance and jobsite toughness. It’s equipped with 12" ultra-premium flat-free tires that can take on dirt, gravel, pavement, and everything in between without punctures or downtime.

The frame's open design ensures easy access for servicing, and the footprint is compact enough for transport in utility trailers or service trucks. Built-in brackets make it easy to secure for transport or permanent mounting, whether you’re working in a fixed location or on the move.

  • 4 quick-connect nozzles: Instantly switch between spray patterns (0°, 15°, 40°, and soap) to match the task.

  • Quick-connect fittings throughout: Spend less time setting up and more time working.

Whether you're washing trucks, pressure cleaning concrete, or disinfecting equipment, this washer has the versatility and gear to keep up with your workload.

Simplified Controls and Enhanced Safety

Control is key in a high-performance machine like this. That’s why the HW4013HC features an intuitive thermostat for fine-tuning water temperature and a durable rocker switch to control the Beckett burner.

The system’s 12V DC configuration provides efficient burner ignition and control, while the battery-powered setup ensures reliable function even when AC power isn’t available — perfect for mobile operations.

For safety, the external unloader helps manage pressure spikes, while insulated components reduce the risk of accidental burns. Combined with a well-balanced frame and commercial-grade tires, it’s a pressure washer that’s as safe as it is powerful.

Frequently Asked Questions about Pressure Washers

How to store a pressure washer?

To ensure the durability of your heavy duty pressure washer:

  • Empty the gas tank to prevent fuel from degrading or clogging the engine.
  • Empty the pump and hoses of any remaining water.
  • Perform necessary maintenance before storage.
  • Store in a dry area.
  • Cover.

What is a pressure washer?

A power washer is a cleaning machine that uses a gasoline engine to power a high pressure water pump and nozzle. It’s used to clean driveways, decks, vehicles, outdoor furniture and more by spraying water at high PSI to remove dirt, grime, mold and other debris.Many models also come with a detergent tank for added cleaning power.

How does a power washer work?

A power washer works by drawing water from a connected hose and pumping it through a high pressure nozzle. The gas engine powers the pump which pressurizes the water and then expels it through the nozzle at high speed to clean the surface. The water pressure is measured in PSI (pounds per square inch) and the flow rate is measured in GPM (gallons per minute).Many models also feature adjustable water pressure settings to cater to different cleaning needs. BE makes pressure washing easy with models available for light jobs and heavy duty commercial cleaning projects.

Gas vs Electric power washers?

The main difference is that a gas pressure washer, known for its cleaning power, is powered by a gasoline engine, making it more powerful and portable, while an electric pressure washer is powered by electricity and is generally quieter and lighter.

Gas pressure washers are for heavy duty and large areas due to their durability, whereas electric pressure washers are for smaller jobs.

Your BE electric pressure washer is perfect for smaller jobs and built for portability, and we offer a wide range of electric models. Included with our electric models is a long extension cord for use anywhere around your house.

What to consider?

When choosing a gas pressure washer consider:

  • Pressure (PSI): More PSI means more cleaning power but also more potential for damaging delicate surfaces.
  • Flow Rate (GPM): More GPM means faster cleaning as more water is dispensed.
  • Engine Power: Bigger engines mean more durability and power.
  • Portability: Weight, handle design and wheel size for easier to move.
  • Nozzles: Multiple spray nozzles to adjust the spray pattern for different tasks.
  • Adjustable Nozzle: Allows for fine-tuning the spray intensity and pattern for various cleaning needs.

How much pressure do I need for?

The required pressure (PSI) and cleaning power depend on the surface you’re cleaning:

  • Light duty (car washing, outdoor furniture): 1,300-1,800 PSI.
  • Medium duty (patios, fences, decks): 2,000-3,000 PSI.
  • Heavy duty (driveways, brick walls, large equipment): 3,000+ PSI.

Many pressure washers come with adjustable pressure settings to handle different cleaning tasks effectively.

Can a pressure washing damage surfaces?

Yes, a power washer can damage surfaces if used incorrectly. High pressure water can strip paint, dent soft surfaces or even cause structural damage if the pressure is too high or the nozzle is held too close to the surface. Always use the right PSI for the material you’re cleaning and keep a safe distance from delicate surfaces.

To prevent damage, consider using a model with adjustable pressure settings.

How to maintain your pressure washer?

To ensure the durability and smooth operation of a pressure washer:

  • Change the oil as per manufacturer’s instructions.
  • Clean or replace the air filter to ensure good airflow.
  • Inspect and clean the nozzle regularly to prevent clogs.
  • Drain the gas tank if you’re storing the washer for a long time.
  • Check the hoses for leaks or damage and replace them if needed.
  • Follow regular maintenance requirements to keep the washer in optimal condition.

Can I use a pressure washer in cold weather and low water temperature?

You can use a pressure washer in cold weather but it’s more difficult. The water flow rate in the hoses and pump can freeze and damage the equipment. If you plan to use your pressure washer in cold temperatures make sure to winterize it and store it in a warm area when not in use. You can also use anti-freeze solutions for pressure washers.

Some models are designed to use hot water, which can be particularly effective for cleaning in cold weather.
