V.) Attach Gun & Lance
Connect the lance to the grip using the 22MM
thread-on quick coupler. The o-rings seal the
connection so you only have to tighten the quick
coupler hand tight.
VI.) Turn Water Supply ON
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.) Squeeze Trigger
Squeeze the trigger until a steady flow of water sprays
out the nozzle. Make sure all the air is out of the hoses
before running the pressure washer. This step is very
important, it will prolong the pump’s life. NEVER run the
pump dry.

Your pressure washer is equipped with five nozzles. To
install a nozzle simply pull back the collar 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.
IX.) Applying Chemicals
WARNING: Only use North Star 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.
NOTE: Your pressure washer is equipped with a low
pressure chemical injector. The proper chemical
used for the proper application can speed up
cleaning jobs tremendously.
A.) Snap the quick couple chemical injector onto the
pump outlet and high pressure hose and submerge the
suction strainer into the chemical solution.
B.) You need to use the black nozzle to spray chemicals
onto the cleaning surface.
C.) The amount of chemical applied can be changed by
turning the chemical adjustment knob located on the
chemical injector.
D.) Squeeze the spray gun trigger. The chemical
injector will draw the chemical into the water stream.
E.) Apply chemicals evenly to the cleaning surface.
Allow the chemicals to react with the dirt, clean at high
pressure with green nozzle.
F.) Never use more chemical than is necessary to clean
the surface.
G.) If you do not intend on using chemicals, we suggest
removing the chemical injector to obtain maximum
cleaning pressure.
X.) Start Engine
*Refer to the engine manual to start your
engine.
IMPORTANT: The water must be turned on before
starting. Running the pump dry will cause damage
and void the warranty.
WARNING: Check that there are no leaks in the
vicinity of the pump before starting engine.
A.) Turn Easy Start Knob to “Start.”
B.) Refer to engine manual to start the engine.
C.) Turn Easy Start Knob to “Run.” Once the engine is
started, begin cleaning.
WARNING: Do not inhale the exhaust from the
engine. Do not point the lance at anyone even if the
engine has stopped because there could be a
release of water under retained pressure if the spray
gun trigger is actuated.
