How to Use a Lotion Pump Dispenser

1. Remove the Cap or Safety Lock

   • Most pumps have a twist-lock mechanism (turn the pump head clockwise or counterclockwise to unlock).

   • Some come with a separate cap or seal—remove it before use.

2. Prime the Pump (If Needed)

   • New pumps may require 3–5 presses to draw product up the dip tube.

   • If nothing comes out initially, keep pumping until lotion dispenses.

3. Press Down Firmly

   • Place your hand under the nozzle and press the pump head fully down (partial presses may not dispense product).

   • Release to let it spring back up.

4. Adjust Dispensing Amount

   • Some pumps allow adjustable dosage (e.g., half-pump for less product).

   • Standard pumps dispense 0.8–3.0ml per press.

5. Lock After Use (Optional)

   • To prevent accidental spills, twist the pump head back into the locked position.

Tips for Best Performance

✔ Store upright to ensure smooth suction.
✔ Clean clogged nozzles with warm water if residue hardens.
✔ Replace the pump if it becomes stiff or stops working.

Troubleshooting Common Issues

• No product comes out? Check if the dip tube is submerged or prime again.

• Leaking? Tighten the pump collar or replace the gasket.

• Pump stuck? Loosen the cap slightly (over-tightening can cause pressure issues).
