pumping and it quit drawing
1288810
Any air leak upstream of the pump will kill the draw. The input fitting came loose on mine and allowed air to slip past the o-ring, killing the draw for me at one point. Any obstruction will do the same. Also, if the hose/tube you're using for pickup gets locked against the bottom (like putting your hand to a shop-vac hose), then you'll get obvious results, so be sure to use a stand-off and/or filter screen to help prevent this.

Sorry...I haven't used my pump yet....Are you pumping Diesel Fuel? I don't think it is made to pump gasoline...I think it has to be lubricated by what it is pumping.

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

Brand new the pump was able to draw well above 6"... But after it was run for a while (often times dry) it would not reliably draw above 15"... I relocated my pumpbelow water level and it still works fine. It's a little slower than I would like so I may be replacing it with a larger pump.

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

I have had a problem on a few occasions where I couldn't fill it. I just took the pump off and put it back on again while pushing down harder. It worked then. Hope that helps. I have only used a small hand pump too.

First clean out the nozzle to be sure it isn't blocked. If the nozzle is clear but still doesn't pump, then this replacement should fix it.

the diaphragm on the pump weakens with use and age and eventually needs to be replaced. This use to be pretty easy to do but on my last De'Longhi machine it couldn't be done.. ended upthrowing the machine away.. was about 3 years old.

Your tank is empty - you haven't pumped it enough - line is sucking air at or before the bulb

I've noticed that the Silver/Metallic ones don't last very long and start sticking, making it impossible to pump with just 1 hand. The colored ones last longer and I haven't had a problem with them. I would contact the seller and ask about a replacement.

Put the end with the little ball (not the flat end) into the back of the feed and give it a push. It may take a little time for the ink to start flowing.

If it stops, make sure the screen on the bottom is clean and the filter on the pump is clean as well. When mine slows or stops, I have to check that and it usually needs to be cleaned out. Don't know the size of your pump but I know I had to get a stronger one than the box states. I use a 1500gph and it flies around the pool. Also make sure there's no air in the hose because that'll make it stop too.

I assume your hydraulic drive pump is running out or low on fluid. Its needs to be checked for blockade.

Clogged up....take the cover off the front and clean it out with running water, if you haven't fried the motor (you'll hear it running) it will start pumping again.

You might have a piece of gravel or a small snail stuck inside. I would take it apart and use a cotton swab to see if anything comes out. It's one of the quietest pumps on the market.

Make sure both pumps on top are working. They turn on independently every 6 seconds or so. Also you can use tongs or chop sticks to make sure all bubbles are off jellies. They do bunch up everyonce in a while till other pump kicks in and separates them;)

The gauge will not move until you get near he end. Keep pumping...takes 100-200 pumps if I remember right.
