Most pumps need to be primed. Get a short piece of solution hose and fit a suitable quick connect and connect to your machine. Leave the other end open and drop it in the solution tank and turn on the pump until all the air is clear. The reason it takes so long to clear is it's under pressure.
Hope that helps

Another options to drill your solution tank and fit a quick coupling (male is best) onto your tank then just use your normal solution hose to bleed with.
My guys are always losing bleed hoses so we did this and that way they would need to forget the machine completely in order not to be able to carry out the bleeding procedure.
I find this is particularly handy if the machine has ran dry as you can just couple it up and leave it running after putting the first bucket of water in and not have to hold the hose.
