  1. Rotate the wheel so the valve is resting just above the floor. Remove the valve cap.

  2. Unscrew the locking nut on the valve stem. Quickly press down the stem to loosen the seal. You should hear air escaping when the stem is pushed in--if you do not, loosen the nut and try again.
  3. Press the pump head onto the valve and flip the locking lever to make a seal. You'll hear air escape, but it should stop after you've locked the lever. If air continues to leak out, remove the pump head and reattach it.
  4. Make two pump strokes and listen for air moving into the tire. If the pump handle becomes hard to press down after only a few strokes, or if the pressure gauge elevates extremely quickly, remove the pump head and repeat Step 3.
  5. Inflate the tire to its recommended pressure. Remove the head by unlocking its lever and quickly pulling it off the valve stem. Secure the valve's locking nut and cap.

Guage needle fell off joe blow pro pump

Had the same thing happen. It turns out you can pry off the plastic ring around the dial, then remove the clear plastic window. I did that and just stuck the needle back on at 0.

Back pressure in joe blow pump

There is a one-way check valve at the bottom of the pump cylinder that allows the air to go to the tire, but not return.

Does not seem to be pumping air

Most likely the O-ring has worn out, but first take it apart by unscrewing the top of the cylinder where the sliding rod goes thru. Then look at the working end of the rod (opposite end from the pump handle), and put some light grease on the O-ring (it is a black rubber ring), reassemble and test it. If it still doesn't push air out, take the O-ring to a hardware store for a replacement. This usually solves the problem.

I cannot figure out how to attach football inflating needle to Topeak Joe blow sport?

Older model pumps screw in. Newer models get inserted and then you either push the lever down or pull it up to lock onto the threaded end of the needle
