My pressure washer troubleshooting experience told me it was air in the pump causing the problem. We switched off the electric motor but kept the water running through the pump. After holding the trigger to keep the water running through the machine we managed to clear the air from the pump and lines. My neighbor turned the machine on again and it worked. Full pressure, no pulsing.
My snips are sheet-metal snips and cut through tree branches, hoses, and thick plastic or rubber without issue. So if you burst a pressure washer hose, you could cut it shorter (with snips) and install the fitting instead of buying brand new. We did this all the time at a job I had as a 19 year old using a pressure washer to clean a factory parking lot and truck scale every-single-morning.

The pressure washer does not start > the motor may fail to start: simply switch it on, possibly by plugging in the power supply plug or make sure that the socket and the mains supply are working properly.
The pressure washer stops suddenly during operation > operate on the motor protection device, carefully following the instructions in the operating manual and complying with the specified operating conditions.
The pressure washer does not deliver hot water > (for hot water models) make sure that the boiler tank is well supplied with diesel or that the filter is well cleaned (if necessary, clean or replace it). As an alternative, operate on the boiler safety thermostat, but only after the pressure washer has cooled down for a few minutes to allow the device to be reset.
The pressure washer does not suck enough detergent > (for models featuring it), first check if the regulating knob is fully open and the nozzle holder head is in the correct position, then clean the detergent suction filter of any clogs. In any case, avoid using a viscous detergent, but follow the manufacturer's instructions.
