Turn off the pressure washer and disconnect the spray wand. Use a nozzle cleaning tool or a straightened paper clip to clear any debris from the nozzle. Rinse with water to ensure all obstructions are removed before reattaching.
What maintenance does the Husqvarna HB32 require?
Regular maintenance includes checking and changing the engine oil, cleaning the air filter, inspecting the spark plug, and ensuring all connections are secure. It's also important to flush the pump with fresh water after use, especially if using detergent.
Why is my pressure washer leaking water?
Inspect all hoses and connections for signs of wear or damage. Tighten any loose fittings. If the pump is leaking, check seals and replace them if necessary. Regular maintenance can prevent leakage issues.
How do I safely store the pressure washer when not in use?
After use, run the pressure washer with fresh water to remove any remaining detergent. Turn off the unit and disconnect all hoses. Store the pressure washer in a cool, dry place. Ensure it is protected from freezing temperatures by draining all water from the pump and hoses.
What type of oil should I use for the engine?

How do I troubleshoot an engine that won't start?
Ensure the fuel valve is open and the fuel tank has fresh gasoline. Check the spark plug for fouling and clean or replace it if necessary. Make sure the air filter is clean. Verify the choke is set correctly and the engine switch is in the 'On' position.
