NorthStar 1571243 - 3600 PSI 3 GPM 301cc Gas Pressure Washer

Power

The NorthStar 1571243

With an impressive fuel-injected 301cc engine, its triplex pump delivers a pressure of 3600 PSI (roughly 60 times more than a standard garden hose) and a flow of up to 3 GPM (values claimed by the manufacturer), resulting in the NorthStar 1571243's cleaning power of 10800 Cleaning Units.

The NorthStar e300 engine of this gas-powered pressure washer is initiated by a classic pull-start mechanism.

Gasoline is stored in a steel fuel tank with a maximum capacity of 1.4 gallon.

Design & Handling

With its wheelbarrow design, the NorthStar 1571243 delivers superior maneuverability and stability, facilitating easy transport and steady performance across various surfaces. The robust steel tubing frame guarantees longevity of the assembly, providing stability and protection for internal components, even under demanding working conditions. The handle adds to the 1571243 convenience of transport.

At 118 lbs, this unit's substantial weight makes it quite a challenge for users to lift and maneuver, particularly on uneven surfaces where its heft can become even more apparent. Its 301cc NorthStar e300 engine, the triplex pump and steel tubing frame add up to a large chunk of the device's weight. Nevertheless, with its two 10" never-flat wheels, users can manage the 1571243 with less difficulty, even over uneven terrain.

Main Features

Along with the NorthStar 1571243 itself, the package also includes a spray gun, a wand, a pressure hose, 4 nozzles and a detergent injection feature, which are discussed in further detail below.

• Soap injection: Detergent is fed in through a siphon hose, since the device lacks a soap tank. The NorthStar 1571243 includes an automatic soap dilution mechanism, which will dilute the detergent using a 15:1 ratio. Once a soap nozzle is connected, the pressure washer automatically blends the detergent with the water flow.
• Pressure hose: The unit comes equipped with an included 50 ft ⌀3/8" high-pressure hose, which can be neatly stored on the unit when idle, thanks to a set of convenient hooks, ensuring easy access and organization.
• Spray gun and wand: Both the classic ergonomic spray gun and its wand may be conveniently stored in a side hook.
• Nozzles: The following table provides information on the 4 included nozzles and their recommended surface uses.

Important: The nozzle shapes shown above are for illustrative purposes and may vary. Symbols denote suitability, with a red cross indicating 'Not recommended,' a green check for 'Suitable,' and an orange check for 'Use with caution.'
