A pressure washer includes an engine having a vertical shaft and a pump designed to be powered by the engine. Additionally, the pressure washer includes a base plate, where the engine is coupled to the base plate with a first set of fasteners and the pump is independently coupled to the base plate with a second set of fasteners. The base plate is designed to allow the engine to be unfastened and removed from the base plate without also unfastening the pump.
