Operating Instructions

Follow these instructions every time you use the water heater.

I.) Pre-Operation

;A.) Position the machine for easy access to all controls.

;B.) Position the machine on a solid surface, with less than a three degree slope, and so it is protected from external damage.

;C.) Position the machine so that ambient lighting is sufficient for the surface you are cleaning to be seen with ease. Use artificial light if needed.

;D.) Check hoses, fittings, and fuel connections for signs of wear, cracks and looseness, and replace as required.

;E.) Read entire manual, especially the important safety instructions listed on page 2.

II.) Check Your Water Supply

;A.) Make sure the water supply is clean. Debris can reduce performance.

;B.) Do not pump flammable liquids or liquids containing incompatible chemicals or solvents.

III.) Connect Your Pressure Washer

WARNING: Make sure all switches and controls are in the OFF position prior to plugging in the cord. DO NOT stand in water while plugging or unplugging electrical cord.

WARNING: Use a UL recognized receptacle protected by a ground fault interrupter and extension cord of proper voltage and amperage at all times.

WARNING: Check hoses, fittings, and fuel connections daily for signs of wear, cracks and looseness; replace as required.

1.Connect electrical cord to NEMA receptacle, 5-15R.

2.Connect outlet of your pressure washer to inlet of the water heater. Your NorthStar Water Heater is equip- ped with quick connect fittings, as are all NorthStar pressure washers. Slide the collar back on the inlet hose and push it over the outlet nipple of the pressure washer. Pull on hose to assure a good

connection.

2a.If your pressure washer does not have quick connect fittings, you can order them at 1-800-270-0810.

2b.If you do not want quick connect fittings, the quick connect coupler on the inlet hose can be removed. The inlet hose can then be threaded directly into any female 3/8” NPT port.

3.Connect your existing high pressure hose and gun to the water heater outlet using quick connect fittings.

3a.If your high pressure hose does not have quick couplers, you can order them at 1-800-270-0810.

3b.If you do not want quick connect fittings, the quick connect nipple on the water heater’s outlet can be removed, leaving a male 3/8” NPT fitting.

4.Fill the burner fuel tank. The tank’s capacity is four gallons. We recommend kerosene because it burns cleanest. #1 grade home heating oil, #1 or #2 diesel can also be used. DO NOT USE GASOLINE OR CRANKCASE OIL DRAINING.

5.If detergents will be used, use only detergents intended for pressure washers. Follow instructions on the detergent container.

WARNING: Make sure that your existing hose, gun, and all accessories are rated for high temperatures and the appropriate pressure.
