HP swivel leaks or turns stiffly
Swivels let the HP line rotate. Worn seals or bearings leak and get stiff.
Safety first: Switch off the pump, release all pressure (open the on/off valve or bleed-down valve) and lock out before you open any high-pressure part. Never put a hand or tool near a running jet.
