What does the spring loaded button near the pressure tube do? When I press down, nothing happens

That is a pressure release... when you have the gauge on the tire reading the pressure and want to release some air to lower the pressure..

Yep that is how it should be done. Maybe you didn't push the pin in far enough. Make sure the threaded end in screwed tightly into the metal pump, and the needle goes into the inflation site. Try pushing it in further to the Cushion. It should work. Otherwise maybe the pump is defective. Good luck!

I have the same problem. The button simply sticks and the only thing to do is push the left part which happens to be a reset button. I'm not sure if this is a defect or not. The button seems like a rocker switch and you don't want that in this situation.

A battery is unnecessary. You apply and enjoy pressure freely manually. A button differs in a pleasant part, respectively. If you have any questions please feel free to ask.

I purchased two and gave one as a gift. I think the problem is in the switch. I found that you have to push down rather hard as you switch it on.

I have the same problem. It worked fine in the first 6 months but now it stops working without holding down the pressure.

Pushing down does nothing. You use the L and R buttons below the mouse to left or right click.

Hi, Janet, No you don't hold the button down. Just push it down and it should start up and do the same to stop it. Ruth

The spring on the pedal is too hard to press unless you screw the thing to the floor. This is not the one for you.

Yes, you press down and twist - sounds like you might have a non functioning pump which happens more then we like.

You have to manually push it down. But I assume you have already tried that and it didn't work.

Mine model didn't call for a spring. It sits in a slotted track at the bottom, sorry I can't help.

The pressure switch may be sent to low. Adjust it with the screw in the front of the pump head.

Line vs. load- I usually use the center two screws as load and the outer two as line in. You are getting power to the pump or it wouldn't be working. Try backing the cut out control nut out to reduce pressure "the one with the short spring located off center". If all else fails remove the switch and unscrew the backing plate, remove the diaphragm. You can test the switch manually by pressing on the center of the mechanism with your thumbs. Also while you have it apart look through the inlet pipe. The actual water inlet hole is quite small and can become clogged. Reassembly doesn't require any kind of sealant.

Did you press the thumb release upward and did the pressure button drop down?

It has a black rubber coated button on the underneath side, that as you grip the unit it will allow you to depress this button, releasing the air PSI to your desired PSI, as you watch the LED display for your desired PSI.
