Default Suspension Pump Button

I just "acquired" a new in the box HD Suspension pump. Seems to work great but I have no clue as to what the little black button opposite the guage does. It doesn't seem to do anything!!??

Any ideas??

Thanx
Greg

It allows you to bleed air if you have too much. Don't press it all the way in and you will release air.

That little button is to bleed off some pressure if you want a softer ride.

it saves from having to stick you thumb down the valve to bleed off air and have to recheck the pressure. Pretty neat how it works!
