We bought a house with a Sta-Rite System 2 Modular Media Filter. All the owners manuals for the pool came with the house except this one. I was able to download it online but I have no idea what the "start up pressure" for this pump was since it was already installed when we got the house. The filter was cleaned when we had the pool drained and refilled the first week of March of this year. I read that we are supposed to clean the filter "when the pressure gauge reading increases 10 PSI over the start-up pressure." So how am I supposed to know what the startup pressure is? If there is no way for me to know, what pressure do I clean the pump at?

Over 20-25 PSI would be suspect. The filters are easy to open and clean and you can ever error by cleaning your filter.
Your "start up pressure" will be whatever the pressure is after cleaning the filter. Hope this helps.

To answer your question in the title on how to clean: Pool School - Maintenance and Cleaning of Pool Filters
The clean pressure is dependent on your pool plumbing etc. No 2 are exactly the same.
