How do you pump the handle?

The act of pushing forward and back as you mop the floor compresses that handle. It is a push/pull action while holding the mop in the moping position of 1-2 inches so you only need to pump the handle for extra steam. After switching on you should pump it 10-12 pumps wait 30 seconds and then begin mopping.

You really don't have to do a thing but push it along the floor. The pump is built in between the handle and the steam mop: which means every time you push the mop forward, you just pumped it! I advise filling it with water, plugging it in and waiting a good 2-3 minutes for the steam to really get going and remember... the first few strokes will be pumping steam onto a dry mop head, so you really won't get decent results until the mop head cloth is damp with steam condensate. Be patient and know that you'll have to cover you first few passes again and I think you'll really enjoy this steam mop. You really don't have to do a thing but push it along the floor.

The pump is built in the handle. The act of pushing and pulling actually pumps the mop. I do stop and pump it several times to get a blast of steam. Read the answer from "The_chief", that has been my experience with this mop.

The pressure is steady. You settle in, tie your head down with the strap, then pump it to desired pressure, and it just keep pulling with that pressure until you release the air by pressing the release valve.

You press down in the center of the handle and while holding down, unhook the handle on one side. You can now release the pressure you are applying to the center of the handle and it is easy to release the other side.

Push down on handle and turn counter-clockwise with one hand while holding the sprayer down with the other. Notice the notches in the collar to remove the handle. Once you get the hang of it. easy.

It's very simple, just press the handle, long-side, into the places shown on the picture. There is a ball mechanism that holds the handle and the item does not slide down as there are rubber pieces to hold it in place. When ready to remove, just pull forward and it quite easily comes out.

The sprayer is pumped by the handle. It is not motorized. It's an excellent sprayer and easy to use.

I agree with the other 2 answers. You don't have to pump it constantly & the long handle is great. We have used it to spray the siding on the whole house & had no problems.

At the end of the handle is a clear water reservoir. You slide the clear resorvoir down and off. On the top is a rubber stopper. Pull out the stopper and fill with water. Replace rubber stopper and slide back onto the handle.

I do not pull the handle all the way up, the less you the less amount of water you get. I hope it helps.

Buy a smaller electric Black and Decker 30 dollar pump, where you can set the pressure. Turn it on, and let it go. It takes a long time ...at least 30 minutes. The hand pumps take forever.

It's a manual pump (10 pumps max). That big oval hole in the stock makes a great place to grab when pumping. Better leverage = easier to pump.

You slide the little bar and twist the entire handle...it gets easier as you do it lol

move the rubber seal with your fingers, you should see two holes one at the bottom and another one at the top, Insert the screws through there and tighten them onto the handle.

Screw the pices that have threds on them, they form the handle, push the plastic locking key thur the only hole it fits into, make sure the blue thing with wheeles, you just screwd the handle into is attached to it. Now take the bag and attach it to the biggest hole on the other blue thing. The only piece you should have left is to attach to the water hose. Its a simple push and release system. Easy peasy. Evey thing is awesome!

No, you don't. But it works as a handle too if you plan on pushing it around.

You have to loosen the knobs on the side, put the handle in the position you want it then tighten the knobs. Hope that helps.

Not a foot pump, gotta use your hands...maybe 6 or min to get it pumped up.
