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.

Try re-greasing the O-ring on the end of the pump rod.

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.

Change the internal parts of the head to adapt to the valve type you're using.

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.

For starters, I assume that you pushed the lever away from the valve -- if not, that is your problem. Other potential problems are: a worn gasget in the head or a valve stem that is not fitting properly. I had the bad valve stem and when I put in a new tube the problem was solved.

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

Do you flip up the lever on the air outlet? It should be flat on the handle to insert on the valve stem and then flipped up to lock on.

Hope,
matt

Most likely a problem with the check valve - try this: "Make sure the Check Valve at the bottom of the pump is inserted correctly. Unscrew the rounded nut just above the foot rests, pull out the spring and black thingy. The pointy black thingy (check valve) must be inserted first, pin in first, then spring behind it, then small black rubber O ring. One of my four kids (or me?!) must have switched it, because spring first. it would not pump (bounced back and gauge said zero after every pump). Put it in black valve first, and it worked like new. If this does not work for you, it is possible that you need a new check valve, about $3."
