Why does my 1134 quit pumping greese after a greese cartridge replacement?

Because it gets an air pocket inside the pump and air does not pump well by hand. These were supposed to not do that so much but I found the opposite to be true. I just change the tube when its almost out, that way there usually is no trouble with air in them. Also after you get a couple turns in with the new tube, release the T handles so it can push some air out while screwing the two pieces together, that helps a lot sometimes too

It get air in the gun when you change the cartridge just like every other grease gun made. I have owned at least eight or more I have four at the present and they all have to be primed when you replace the grease cartridge. You just pull the handle at the end and turn it till it locks and push on the handle while pumping the gun and it will prime. After it primes then it will pump grease till you have to change the cartridge again but it does not always have to be primed sometimes you get lucky and it primes on its own. This is by far the best grease gun I have owned it has great pressure and is easier to pump than my old pistol grip which broke after about forty years and it is much much better that the Chinese one I bought from Wal-Mart for twenty dollars just before I bought this one.

Check the plunger to see if it is on correct. I went crazy trying to figure out why mine was only working half the time after a cartridge change. I finally noticed that the plunger did not look even so i used a screwdriver to move it back into position. This only worked temporarily before it would get out of position again. I am VERY disappointed with this gun. I have been using a $10 workforce that has seen far more use without problem.

The air at the top of the new cartridge needs to be bled off. I just left my grease gun in a hot place (July sunshine) for a few minutes with the pump end up and loosened about 1 turn.

Try to replace the chip (as a counter). That may help to extend the cartridge life.

Having the same machine, I have never had a problem. Check that the cartridge is not defective and that you have correctly inserted it in the right slot.

Sorry to hear that you are having issues with your pump. We have found that the impeller which is held in by a magnet can become off balance. There is a quick fix for this problem. If you look on page 9 & 10 of your manual there are instruction on how to take apart the pump. If you no longer have your manual you can go to www.pioneerpet.com and go under instructions/products and they will show you how to take apart your pump. When you do this and remove the impeller after you put it back in give it a few spins this will help it stay in balance. You should be doing this once a month when you change your filters.If this does not fix your problem please let me know.Thank YouPioneer Pet Customer Service Sorry to hear that you are having issues with your pump.

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 am still using my first cartridge, so I cannot be of any help, but can you contact the seller to inquire about your problem? I see someone else had a problem, so I will be on alert when I change to the new one. Sorry I cannot be of more help. bummer...

Instructions came with the pump. Alternatively you could call Katadyn. From memory, here's how you do it: Remove the hoses. Unscrew the bottom cup shaped blue piece (you can just make out the seam). This exposes the bottom of the cartridge. Hit the handle as hard as necessary to pop out the cartridge. The rubber O ring at the bottom of the cartridge provides the resistance you must overcome. Pull the cartridge off the shaft. Replace the cartridge and put on the new white wrap which comes with the new cartridge. Lubricate "O" ring a little bit. Push the cartridge back on the shaft and install in housing. Pump a liter of water in your sink to make sure it works and to remove the soap, or whatever it is, that coats the thing. You don't need, and shouldn't use, any tools.

Yes, the Zoeller replacement worked for me. My pump was about 10 years. My problem was similar to Mr. Hartenstines'.

Turn it off, then turn it back on. Try this a few times. It happens to my 1400 and 220. It will eventually recognize it again. The biggest problem for me is clogging print nozzles.

Had the same experience as well with a cartridge. I purchased a new one and replaced it then it started working properly

There are terminals that you plug into. If you are replacing a bad pump the old pump will have the same set-up. Check your old pump to see if there is a plug running to it.

Ms. DiMasi. I have observed the same bottom spraying as you describe when the water is no longer high enough to be pumped up through the discharge outlet and concluded that it is caused by the impeller spinning. The reason I replaced the pump switch was due to opposite experience to yours: One of our three pumps was running constantly every several cycles and overheated because of the absence of water. I believe, if the switch failed to close (rather than stick closed as in my case) to start the pump, your experience seems to be a reasonable outcome. Since your pump works only infrequently, I suggest that you replace the switch on top the pump as I did. The pump itself is tough and durable. Cost of the switch is low and replacement is easy if you remove the hose clamp from the discharge pipe to free it and lift the pump out of the well to a comfortable working height. Happy to answer any other questions. Good luck!

My experience has been that it just stops dead in the middle of a print job if ANY cartridge is "empty". This is very annoying, especially if (as is often with me) I'm only printing B/W.
