How does the pump start? I'm borrowing from stepdad to see about buying one, but neither of us can figure it out. I Have the tube connected inside.

Hi when the tank fills up the unit with stop pumping water (Make sure that yellow short tube with hole in it is at the top of your pipe). Just lift the hose and attachment in the air about 6 - 8 inches and hold the start button until it stays on and the pump is then primed. Caution make sure you have a hose attached that runs outside ok? lol

It should pump .. period. It is hooked up wrong(No Offense)or it is defective. My advice? Just send it back .. FWIWFinal, I was unempressed with mine .. Just got rid of it in part .... because I took to long to qualify for a refund.

It isn't easy to hook that hose to the 'gun'. You have to push the hose itself up into the gun with force, and then start the threads. Quite difficult; but probably easier than leaving the hose attached to the gun, and disconnecting/connecting at the connection below the pump.(??) Push harder! Good luck.

A) Does your unit push air out when not connected to anything? If so, it sounds like a problem with your hose or something else on the unit. If not it has to be after the pump. Either the tire or the connection are at fault. B) Try pushing the metal pin in the valve stem to release pressure. If nothing happens you are either out of air or it's broken. It should flow air with little to no movement. C) If that worked it has to be the connection. Maybe they don't align anymore and can be bent, or maybe you have to buy a better adapter. I'd get something like this(http://amzn.com/B001CJHU9W).

Hi Lorena,You may need a new pump. HHow long have you had it? A new pump can easily be attached to the bottom where it pulls out. Contact me at crizbooth@gmail.comThanks

At first you have to give it maybe a dozen good pumps. If that doesn't do it, check the hook up on the bottle part of the unit, or the handle trigger. Took me a few minutes to figure it out too!

I the pump just time for an emergency. NEEDLESS TO SAY I RETURNED IT THE NEXT DAY TO THE COMPANY. IT WAS OF NO USE. I naught a piece of hose from home depot, clear plastic, and ddid my thing the old fashion way, with my mouth. When you get the hang of it its the best thing.

I have not had a problem with mine. Did you check out the video's on how to clean the pump? That might help.

So I was in exactly the same situation, how to inflate ! I used a pump like you use for swimming tubes for kids, bikes etc, it worked perfectly. I bought at Target. Hope this helps.

I use my bike pump all the time, it fits fine... Could it be that you didn't lock it after you put the valve in? I've forgotton that step, and the pump definitely won't work until it's locked.Also, one of the best investments I've ever made is the portable air compressor that runs off the car cigarette lighter. I bought it at a local hardware store for around $20, and I see that Amazon has one for $26. I use it all the time for pumping up sports balls, bike tires, and the BOB.

I believe you actually have to turn the pump part. It will pop up once you do that.

The way this works is you bring up the vacuum until you see a milk flow then you stop the pump then when the flow slows down you re start the pump. Please go to you tube and type in Dansha Fasrms and watch our video> That will also help answer your questions. Our milker has been use for many years and with many satisfied customers all over the world !!!Thank YouDanDansha Farms

Press down on it. It's a pump. If your's doesn't work, it's probably broken.

It is in the back. It comes out in an L shape. Maybe a foot out and then a 90 degree turn to the R and another 2 feet of pump tube. It all stays in the back middle though.

"Do you have to do something special for the gauge to work?"Yep. You do have to do something special. Return the pump. I'm assuming that air is actually getting into the tube?

take the pump out and remove the tube..look carefully inside (use a flashlight) gunk get built up along the sides of the tube (hard to see). If that is clear open up the pump it has 2 areas where u can put in a very small screwdriver to get it open. I have found tons of gunk in there. Good luck. I ended up not using mine anymore, much easier just to fill a bowl with clean water every day.

Hi Brandon, Sorry for the wait, but I am answering my wifes email. All I can tell you is that I a wire from the new circ pump to an existing ground wire from the main pump with the slug in-between knowiung the main pump was already grounded. I can tell you that the new circ pump I put in is working good. No issues. If you don't get it figured out, let me know and I will pull the door and give it a closer look. Good Luck, John.
