  If your Homelite Pressure Washer pump isn’t producing pressure, ensure you're using the high pressure nozzle. Check that the water supply is adequate. Inspect the gun or lance for leaks, and if found, tighten connections or replace the faulty component. Clear any blockages from the nozzle. If the issue persists, the pump may be faulty, and you should contact an authorized service center.

  If the engine of your Homelite Pressure Washer fails to start, first, ensure there is fuel in the tank by filling it. If the fuel level is adequate, inspect the spark plug for shorts or fouling and replace if necessary. Also, check if the spark plug is broken (cracked porcelain or broken electrodes) and replace if needed. Verify the ignition lead wire is properly connected to the spark plug; replace or reattach if necessary. If the issue persists, the ignition may be inoperative, and you should contact an authorized service center.

  If detergent fails to mix with the spray of your Homelite Pressure Washer, ensure the detergent injection hose is fully submerged in the detergent container or bottle. Also, make sure you are using the low pressure nozzle (black) when applying detergent, as a high pressure nozzle will prevent mixing.

  If your Homelite Pressure Washer machine doesn’t reach high pressure, replace your current garden hose with a 12mm garden hose. Ensure that the water supply isn't restricted by checking the garden hose for kinks, leaks, or blockages. Fully open the water source to ensure sufficient inlet water. Finally, make sure you've attached the high pressure nozzle.

  If the engine of your Homelite Pressure Washer is hard to start, it might be due to water in the petrol. In this case, drain the entire fuel system and refill it with fresh fuel. If the spark at the spark plug is weak, you should contact an authorized service center.
