I assume you've checked for any blockages. I find the best thing to do is , before turning on the pump unscrew the pressure regulator numpty and the replace with about a 3/4 turn. Turn the pump on and off quicly and wait to see the water trickle out of the open ended hose.Leave for 5 mins and then turn the pump back on and start to tun the numpty all the way . this will purge the air out.

You might also check the filter inside solution tank, on the storm they just push on the feed pipe but being unfamiliar with yours you may need to unscrew it, anyway there will be one somewhere and it's probably clogged up. Give it a good rinse or replace if it's split or damaged.
