Q&A
Question: What's the recommended battery for this unit?
Answer: This unit requires a 12V DC, 18 Ah automotive battery (Group 75/86). The inside dimensions of the battery compartment included on this pressure washer trailer are 11-1/8"L x 7-3/4"W x 10-1/8"H.
Question: How many horse power is the engine?
Answer: 18 Hp
Question: Are the hose reel manual re-wind or self-retracting?
Answer: They are manual rewind.
Question: How long does a 200 gallon fresh tank last?
Answer: Depends on the tip size of the cleaning tool. Though the pressure washer is rated for 4 gallons a minute at 4000 psi it is rear to be squeezing the trigger 100% of the time. If you did, it is possible to use up in 50 minutes. But if you are using as a carpet cleaning machine, the average home only requires between 35 to 50 gallon of water. Mattress, upholstery cleaning, interior car cleaning us even less. This machine has a garden hose hook up so you can also hook up direct for non stop production.
Question: How long does it take to heat the water to 210 degrees F?
Answer: under 30 seconds
Question: What is the tongue weight of the trailer?
Answer: 50 lbs empty and 400 lbs full of water. If you add a vacuum recovery unit on the tongue this will add even more weight. Never transport this trailer with water in the optional vacuum recovery unit.
Question: How low can the pressure be turned down?
Answer: Northerntools always will tell you to never turn down the pressure washer and to only us it at full rated us. Here is the thing about pressure washer. All pressure washers can be turned down and used at 500 psi for carpet cleaning. Please note that they will not do this out of the box. This model for example will have a pressure switch installed that will have to be changed out with a lower switch, an additional low pressure regulator will also have to be installed. When you alter the machine, you will not have a factory warranty.
Question: Can the trailer be changed out with the trailer used on the larger
157597 unit?
Answer: Northern tools does not make any custom machine for anybody. SteamBrite Supply can by taking the skid unit, fresh water tank, vacuum and solution hose reels and custom make a package to fit your needs.
Question: Does the chemical injector work under high pressure?
Answer: No, this is an 'down stream injector' not an 'up stream injector'
Question: Can upstream chemical injection be installed on this machine?
Answer: Yes, up- stream chemical injection can be installed on all pressure washer but this needs be down with caution! Up-stream chemical injection does and will shorten the life of your pump!
Question: Can you be filling the fresh water tank at the same time you are pressure feeding the pump with a garden hose?
Answer: The machine is designed to have you choose between suction feeding the pump from the fresh water tank, or pressure feeding the pump from the the garden hose. You cannot do both with the same garden hose. Please let me explain. It is possible but you would have to install a garden hose "Y." One end you would have to install a ball valve at the end of the hose you are sticking in the top fresh water tank. You would have to take this hose and turn off 90% of the flow so you are still feeding the pressure washer with more than 4 gallon per min. The average garden hose can only have between 5 to 8 gallon a minute travel down the garden hose. It is important that you do not starve the pump for water or you will damage it! This is the reason that the factory does not want you to do this. You can turn the ball valve to suction feed the pump and just trickle feed the fresh water tank from the top of the tank at the same time with a garden hose. This way you are using the machine the way it is designed.
Question: If I run my fresh water tank dry will the machine turn off?
Answer: Yes,
Question: Can two people clean at the same time?
Answer: This depends on the tip size of the cleaning tools and the pressure you want to clean at. For example if you want to maintain a full 4000 psi then you total jet tip size needs to be under 5.5. If I am cleaning with a carpet cleaning wand that has 4 jets on it and it has four 1.5 jets, I am not going to be able to dual wand but I only need to clean at 500 psi. But If I change my cleaning tool to a two jet 12" wide carpet cleaning wand and install 1.5 jet in it, I can easily clean with two wands at the same time. But now the problem is the vacuum system. You will need a 45 vacuum system or larger for dual wanding.

Customer Reviews:
"We have been using the NorthStar pressure washer/trailer for about a month (50+ hours) It is an excellent piece of equipment- performs exactly as described and is very well built. I love the powder coated tube frame and the fact it is well balanced- and can easily be moved around by hand (when empty). Everything works flawlessly.
We do decks and sidewalks and this is an ideal machine for the business- highly recommended."

"If you ask the guys at the popular pressure washer stores they will dog out Northstar pressure washer, but I could not be happier.
It is easy to use, low maintenance, works great, and gets the job done. I like the easy access to the pump and ball valves.
I do not like the way the garden hose reel is set up. It kinks whenever it is wound up and the hose clamp is too small for a garden hose. Other than that I would recommend this pressure washer to anyone!"
