The guy who services my machine says you should run flat out and reduce pressure via the unloader valve: he says it’s best for the engine.

So running an engine flat out is good for it ???? When needed yes but if you don’t need that much pressure or volume of water then cut the revs back less ware and tare on the engine , less noise , less fuel used .

Usually full is not max or over revving- it’s where it’s set for optimal performance
