What happens here
After the power washer engine is running, it's crucial to prime the pump to remove any air from the lines. To do this, remove the nozzle tip from the power washer gun. With the power washer still running, squeeze the trigger of the gun and allow water to flow through for approximately 30 seconds. This high volume of water will help flush out any trapped air and ensure the pump is fully primed, preventing pressure fluctuations and inconsistent spray during operation. Once primed, reattach the nozzle tip.
Goal: Remove air from the pump to ensure consistent pressure.
