Thanks for the response..
It's normal I suggest you always trigger the wand while starting your power washer. I also shut mine down if I have to move the unit and won't be triggering it for more than a minute or so.

My 10 year old pressure washer did exactly what was in your video
with my new one it starts on first pull so I dont have to do any of that.
What model do you have now? I am still in the return window for mine..

I've owned a few pressure washers. I've never had one do that. However, I never have any water in the hose of mine. As the hose is always stored empty.

Interesting the manual says to pull the trigger and let the air out befoe starting..

Yes you need to do that DO NOT run pump without bleeding air before start up.
The problem you believe you have their is no issue it's a high quality pump and is normal procedure for start up you will find it's no big deal.

The first thing I do before firing up my power washer is connect the hoses and wand. Then I turn on the water and trigger the wand until water flows from it and all the air is out. When it comes time to start the machine, I trigger the wand and start the engine. I set the speed I want the machine to run at based on what I'm doing. Some people go balls to the wall with the bigger machines and ruin decks and siding. But that's another story for another time. My engine will never run more than a minute or two w/o triggering the wand. Doing that has served me well for over 3 decades of power washer ownership.
