Water flow is weak or intermittent.
Operate the handle with a consistent, steady motion. Check the pump's internal mechanism for blockages or wear. Ensure the water source has sufficient depth.
Handle is difficult to move.
Check for obstructions around the handle mechanism. Lubricate the pivot points of the handle if necessary. Ensure the piston is moving freely within the cylinder.
