So I think I figured out how this works. When you get a 3:00 AM wake up call from your crew...I get a 6:30 AM recorded wake up call from the UAMCC. LOL
 
Try to remove as many of those 90 degree barbs from the plumbing there is a lot of turbulence and restriction caused by them that will reduce the flow, especially the tight 90's vs long sweep ones.

It is a 5.5 gpm machine. It runs from a 1" to 2 -3/4" hoses do you think that will be problem? I will change it, if so.


Can you recommend a proper setup? And where can i get the sweeping elbows?
 
I would not worry about it there is plenty of feed there with that size hose. But as a general rule you are always better with a straight barb and a long sweeping arc of the feed hose. Attached is an example of what I was talking about with the turbulence.
