Not realy familiar with the 12 valves, but I believe you are supposed to prime it with that little bulb/button.
Keep pushing till it gets hard to push.

I remember reading something about a bleed screw as well.

Check this thread before you try anything.

First open the bleed screw on top of the filter housing, it's the 10mm bolt towards the front on the outlet banjo bolt. A couple of turns is enough. Push the primer button with a short piece of wood doweling to save your thumb.

Next time only open the water valve for a few seconds and you won't have to prime it.
