Assembly - NorthStar 1572210 Owner's Manual

Step One: Mounting
•
This NorthStar pump is self-priming.
•
The pump should be located in an area that is dry and provides adequate ventilation.
DO NOT locate the motor near low temperature plastics or combustible material. The
surface temperature of the motor may exceed 250°F [121°C].
•
The pump may be mounted in any horizontal position. DO NOT mount pump vertically, doing so
will prevent the Motor Armor system from operating correctly.
•
Secure the rubber base with #10 fasteners. DO NOT compress the base, as doing so will reduce the
ability to isolate vibration and noise.
•
See specifications section for the mounting pattern & dimensions.
Step Two: Plumbing
•
Remove shipping plugs from pump ports.
•
Insert inlet strainer to the inlet quick connect port of the pump.
NOTE: To insert quick connect fittings, lubricate O-ring with water and twist fitting while inserting
into pump port.
•
Insert one quick connect fitting to the inlet strainer, and one quick connect fitting to the outlet port of
the pump.
•
Attach inlet hose (8ft. piece of hose) to the hose barb on the inlet side. Install with hose clamp. The
other end of the inlet hose should be routed to a nearby water supply (i.e. water tank).
NOTE: Restrictions on the inlet may cause a loss in performance. Inlet pressure must not exceed 30
psi [2.1 bar]
•
Attach one end of the gun hose (200ft. hose) to the hose barb on the outlet side of pump. Attach the
other end of the gun hose to the spray gun. Install with hose clamps.
NOTE: An additional elbow fitting is included for different plumbing configurations on either the
inlet or outlet.
