This is usually caused by either a plugged siphon line or if you are using the high pressure tips (red, yellow, white or green) on the wand. Check that the siphon line doesn't have any debris or bugs in it. The only way the siphon hose will work is if you use the low pressure, black soap tip on the end of the wand.

There are several way to increase pressure. Primary way is to turn the pressure regulator knob in the direction to increase tension on the spring. Pressure regulator is located on the pump (or very neer) and usually has a large spring.
Sometimes the spring is hidden under a twist knob. If the adjuster seems to be already turned to max then you may need to just change the pressure tip. The tip/nozzle is actually where the pressure is created by restricting the flow of water thru a very small opening. Use a new tip of the same gpm flow that is required by your machine. 18 hp machine has potential for very high pressure and high gallons per minute. Use trouble shooting guide
