Water question

Just bought and hooked up a used 2015 Z-1.
When I hooked up to city water, I turned on the faucets and water and air came out as expected, but then the flow slowed to a trickle then nothing. Did the same with all outlets. Turned on the pump and the same process happened and the pump turned itself off. Checked the water hose, still charged. The tank is full. What am I missing?

Is there any inline filters that might be plugged?
Depending on how long the rig has been sitting unused, or how the previous owner maintained it maybe there was crude in the tank and lines and it has the aerators or screens in all the faucets plugged.

X 2 on what Lloyd said. Remove the aerator from any faucet and then check for flow.

Does the toilet flush water? That should tell you if it is an entire system issue or plugged faucets.

If the toilet does not flush and none of the faucets work, there is likely a blockage between the pump and 1st plumbing fixture. The pump is probably shutting off because it’s reaching pressure (due to the blockage). That would be my guess.

Make sure the flow control valve is set correctly as well.

or ruptured line/device dumping water all to the ground/belly? or clogged strainers/ closed valves, or pressure loss as HW Tank FILLS? Pressure will restore after tank fills in 3-5 minutes? (Assuming vales in right position?)
