What happens here

Before starting the pressure washer engine, always run water through the spray gun without any nozzle tip attached. This purges all the air from the hose and pump, preventing damage and making the engine easier to start. If air remains in the system, the pump will struggle, cycle erratically, and potentially shorten its lifespan. Continue running water until there is a steady stream, indicating all air has been expelled.

Goal: Remove all air from the hoses and pump to prevent damage and ensure smooth operation.
