WARNING: Do not alter the unloader valve’s maximum
pressure. Excess pressures could cause serious injury and/or
pump damage. Any alteration other than turning the
adjustment knob will void your warranty.
To Stop
1. If detergents were used, draw clean water through the
detergent inlet line to purge detergent. Failure to do
so may clog the chemical injector.
2. Turn the pump switch OFF.
3. Turn OFF the water supply.
4. Squeeze the trigger to relieve the system pressure.
Maintenance Instructions
WARNING: Unauthorized machine modification or use of
non-approved replacement parts may cause personal injury
and/or property damage and will void the manufacturer
warranty.
All mechanical equipment, no matter how well designed, will
need repairs. A North Star pressure washer is no exception. At
times, a North Star pressure washer may be inoperable because
repairs are required. North Star Customer Service will assist in
these repairs as needed, but if an inoperable pressure washer
creates a major expense to your business then we strongly
recommend the following:
1. Have someone on staff who is trained in the operation of the
pressure washer and is capable of making minor repairs and
performing all preventative maintenance procedures as
outlined in the provided manuals.
2. Keep a stock of recommended service parts for maintenance
and minor repairs.
