Your pressure washer is equipped with six nozzles. To
install a nozzle simply pull back the collar towards the
lance and push the nozzle into the coupler. Once the
connection is made, pull on the nozzle to assure a tight
connection.
WARNING: Make sure the nozzle is correctly
inserted. The nozzle may become a projectile if not
inserted correctly. Do not attempt to use different
types of nozzles that may not fit the coupler.
VI.) Turn the pump switch ON.
1. Make sure the hose is not kinked. A kinked hose
will provide insufficient water supply to the pump and
will reduce its life. Make sure the hose remains
unkinked after moving the pressure washer.
VII.) For Hot Water
1. If HOT water is desired, make sure there is fuel in
the fuel tank, turn the heat switch ON and adjust the
thermostat to the desired temperature. The burner
will fire when the trigger is squeezed. You may need
to initially adjust your burner for peak performance.
See the “Oil Burner” section under INSTALLATION.
When the trigger is released or the temperature
setting is reached, the burner will automatically turn
off.
IMPORTANT: Do not run the machine in hot mode
without any fuel in the fuel tank. The fuel pump will
be damaged if it is run dry.
To Clean
WARNING: Wear eye, ear, hand, foot and skin
protection at all times while operating this pressure
washer.
DANGER: Do not point the spray wand at yourself or
at any person. Bodily injury may result from water
under high pressure.
CAUTION: Be careful on painted or delicate surfaces.
The pressure may damage the surface if the nozzle
is too close.
IMPORTANT: Your spray gun is equipped with a
built-in trigger safety latch to guard against
accidental
trigger actuation and potentially
dangerous high pressure spray. Rotate the safety
latch to the locked position when not spraying.
NOTE: Your pressure washer is equipped with a low
pressure chemical injector. You do not need to use
chemicals for every job, however, the proper
chemical used for the proper application can speed
up cleaning jobs tremendously.
WARNING: Only use NorthStar pressure washer
chemicals or chemicals specifically formulated for
pressure
washers. Follow the chemical
manufacturer’s recommendations. Understand all
safety precautions and first aid for all chemicals.
1. Press the braided chemical hose over the chemical
injector on the pump and submerge the suction
strainer connected to the braided chemical hose into
the chemical solution.
