NOTE TO COMMERCIAL USERS:
All mechanical equipment, no matter how well designed,
will need maintenance and repairs. A NorthStar
pressure washer is no exception. At times, a NorthStar
pressure washer may become inoperable because
repairs are required. NorthStar Product Support will
assist in these repairs as needed, but if an inoperable
pressure washer creates a major expense to your
business, then we strongly recommend the following:
Have a staff person become familiar with the
•
mechanical operation of the pressure washer and
capable of making minor repairs and performing all
preventative maintenance procedures.
Keep a stock of recommended service parts for
•
maintenance and minor repairs.
IMPORTANT: Replacement Parts
If a part needs replacement, only use parts that
meet the manufacturer's part number
specifications. Replacement parts that do not
meet specifications may result in a safety
hazard or poor operation of the pressure
