MAINTENANCE & REPAIR-DETAILED INSTRUCTIONS
Follow Safety Rules
Read and follow these safety rules whenever you will be servicing the pressure washer:
• Turn off / relieve pressure first. Always turn off pressure washer and relieve system pressure before
inspection or maintenance. Disconnect battery to prevent accidental starting.
• Fuel valve off. Turn fuel shut-off valve to OFF position (if applicable) before transporting or servicing the
pressure washer.
• Replace guards. Make sure all guards and cover shields are replaced after servicing the pressure washer.
• Major repair. If machine needs major service, including the installation or replacement of parts, a qualified
service technician should only perform it. Obtain factory approved parts from NorthStar ProSHOT Product
Support at 1-800-969-7073.
• Replacement parts. If a part needs replacement, only use factory approved repair parts. Replacement parts
that do not meet specifications may result in a safety hazard or poor operation of the pressure washer and will
void the warranty.
Keep Pressure
Washer Clean
Keep pressure washer clean.
If dust or debris accumulates on the pressure washer, clean the pressure washer with a damp cloth or soft bristle brush.
Do not allow air intakes to become blocked.
CAUTION: Do not spray pressure washer with a garden hose or pressure washer. Water may enter the pressure
washer and cause damage.
Inspect Fuel
System(s)
Inspect the fuel systems (of both engine and burner) and check for leaks before each use.
Do not start pressure washer until all needed repairs have been completed.
WARNING: Fuel leak hazard. Engine fuel and burner fuel are highly explosive and fuel leaks can result in fire or
explosions. You can be burned and seriously injured if the fuel system is not properly hooked up or there is a fuel leak
when you start the engine.
Inspect the entire fuel system, for both engine and burner. Look for:
• Signs of leaks or deterioration,
• Chafed or spongy fuel hose,
• Loose connections,
• Loose or missing fuel hose clamps,
• Damaged fuel tank, or
• Defective fuel shut-off valve
Inspect Spray
System
Inspect spray system for damage and
leaks before each use.
Do not start pressure washer until all needed
repairs have been completed.
WARNING: High pressure fluid
injection hazard High pressure fluid
discharge from leaks (even pin-sized) or
ruptured components can pierce skin and
inject fluid into the body. Injection injury can
result in blood poisoning and/or severe tissue
damage leading to infection, gangrene, and amputation.
