Thank you for purchasing a NorthStar hot water pressure washer! Your machine is designed for long life,

dependability, and the top performance you demand. This pressure washer is designed to:

1) Produce a high-pressure steam spray or water spray (heated or unheated) – up to 4 gallons per

minute at 3000 psi.

2) Incorporate cleaning chemicals into a low-pressure water spray.

The pump requires a clean, standard tap water supply provided through a garden hose at a flow rate of at least 4.8

gallons per minute. The use of a backflow preventer on the water supply hose is recommended and may be

required by local code. Any cleaning chemicals that are used must be specifically approved for use in pressure

washers.

The pump is powered by a gasoline-fueled engine. The spray water is heated (when desired) by a kerosene/fuel-

oil fired, spark-ignited, open flame burner. Normal operation of this equipment will require you to supply:

•

Gasoline fuel and lubrication oil for the engine

•

Fuel for the burner (kerosene, diesel, or fuel oil)

•

A 12-volt standard lawn and garden battery

See the "Specifications" section of this manual for more detail.
