This pressure washer produces both cold and hot water high pressure spray. Cleaning chemicals may be
incorporated into the spray if desired. The pressure pump for this equipment is powered by a gasoline internal

WARNING READ THIS MANUAL
READ and UNDERSTAND this Owner's Manual and the Engine Owner's Manual completely before
attempting to set up and use the pressure washer! Failure to properly set up, operate, and maintain this
pressure washer could result in serious injury or death to operator or bystanders.
WARNING SPECIAL HAZARDS

Exhaust from both the engine and burner contains carbon monoxide, a poisonous gas
that can cause carbon monoxide poisoning and possible death if inhaled. ONLY run
pressure washer OUTDOORS and at least 20 feet from the home, away from

Cleaning chemical vapors or contact with skin may be hazardous.

    How to start my North Star Pressure Washer when the engine won't start?
    • S
      Steven McgrathAug 11, 2025
      If your North Star Pressure Washer's engine won't start, several factors could be the cause. First, ensure the engine has an adequate amount of oil. Second, if the engine is cold, use the choke to start it. Also, check that there is fuel in the engine and the fuel shutoff valve is open. Another potential reason is a dead battery, which would require recharging or replacement. Finally, verify that the spark plug wire is securely attached to the spark plug.

      If your North Star Pressure Washer has poor or no detergent supply, try these solutions: 1. Adjust the soap control knob. 2. Refill the detergent container, ensuring the chemical strainer is fully submerged. 3. Use less high pressure hose, moving the machine closer to the work. 4. Clean the chemical strainer and injector, always starting with a clean detergent container and running clean water through the injector after each use.

    What to do if North Star Pressure Washer surges or cycles while in bypass?
    • M
      Molly PadillaAug 31, 2025
      If your North Star Pressure Washer surges or cycles while in bypass, there could be a leak between the unloader and gun. Check all connections, tighten any loose components, and replace damaged ones. Alternatively, the spray gun might be leaking internally, in which case you should replace it.

    Why is there smoke coming from the heat exchanger of my North Star M157595BE Pressure Washer?
    • N
      Natalie WatsonSep 5, 2025
      If you notice smoke coming from the heat exchanger of your North Star Pressure Washer, it could be due to the air band not being adjusted properly. Adjust the air band until the burner burns cleanly. Another cause might be poor quality fuel; using kerosene will provide the cleanest burn.
