This unit has a clutch operated pump. When you release the trigger to move a ladder or climb up on the roof to clean a vent fan the pump stops turning. You no longer have to worry about burning up the pump packing. It is also equipped with Enhanced Burner Protection. There are a lot of extras for such a reasonable price. Call me and learn what is available to those who need a pressure washer.

$4495.00

Here is what I found on their website

RK-40C - Clutch Operated Hot High Pressure Washer

3,000 PSI, 4.8 GPM, 200° F, 16 HP, 12 Volt Burner SystemList Price $5,295.00 Sale Price $4,295.00 RAHSCO Cleaning Systems 2513 Warfield Street, Fort Worth, Texas 76106-7554 Phone: 800-433-2113; Fax: 817-625-2059 URL: http://www.dcs1.com; email: rahsco@dcs1.com RK-40C Hot High Pressure Power Washer - Clutch Operated With the announcement by RAHSCO Cleaning Systems of Fort Worth about their new line of clutch operated gas engine pressure washers the industry’s discussion groups came alive with questions. What are they? How do they work? How reliable are they? The questions were many and varied, but they persist. The bottom line is the industry has long needed a reliable way of dealing with the age old bypass problem. Many have found the clutch operated pump to be the answer. When the operator of a power washer releases the trigger the pump stops turning thus ending any worries about extended running in the by-pass mode which will cause damage to the pump. When the trigger is once again depressed the clutch engages thus causing the pump to begin spinning and once again you return to pressure. Included: 2 hour maintenance DVD, 2 hour Pressure Washing Safety DVD and Free Maintenance and Environmental Seminars ($100.00 value) at RAHSCO Cleaning Systems of Fort Worth Note: The pump is belt driven for extended life. The burner is mounted over the pump assembly. 7 gallon gasoline tank for the Gasoline Engine and 16 diesel tank for the diesel fired burner. Note the Stainless Steel Burner Heat Shield above and behind the Motor. List Price: $5,395.00

That's what I thought, but Roof Cleaning is my specialty, not Pressure Cleaning.
The clutch really seems like a great idea, as far as pump life goes. I wonder if there will be any pause to build pressure when you pull the gun from idle ? Even IF there is, I think it would be a small price to pay for longevity of the pump.
These guys have been building Pressure Cleaning Equipment as long as I can remember. They were known for quality and reliability, and you paid a little more for it.  But at the sale price, it seems like a no brainer, unless you need or WANT an 8 GPM machine ?

I think a flow or pressure switch could be used to operate a pump clutch if you can find one that will hold up to the SH. Is that what you're thinking? How to extend the life of a roof cleaning rig's pump...
