Important Safety Information

Thank you for purchasing a NorthStar ProSHOT Brand Hot Water Pressure Washer. Your machine is designed for long life, dependability, and

1) Produce a high-pressure spray of heated or unheated water (up to 8 gallons per minute at 3000 psi).

supply will have a flow rate of at least 9.6 gallons per minute. Any cleaning chemicals that are used must be specifically approved for use in

flame burner. Normal operation of this equipment will require you to supply:
