how do I get the top to stay on after I put the money in?

Agreed. Make sure the ball is out of the locking space. If that doesn't work, it could be faulty. I received one that didn't latch properly and the seller promptly sent me a new one.

You need to slide the latch across and let the ball drop back through the maze

It depends...do you want to just keep the top from coming open unexpectedly or completely lock it? You could probably install a clasp to make it difficult for small people (kids?) from opening it. I don't see how you attach something to completely lock it though.

Reaches preset setting but it does continue running but will not over inflate

Pat, I think when you turn it on, it just stays on - and then you put the change in a little at a time. I never used this one, so I'm not 100% sure, but the one that I dropped on the ground and broke (!!) that was very similar...you just press the on button and it stays on.

make sure the front sreen is in the knotches the right way, turn it over until the top in on smooth. than slide the top on

The top is meant to come on and off (if you wanted to store things inside). If you wanted to keep it on permanently, I would suggest using a glue gun or a clear epoxy.

The top spins off the base. If it has been awhile it is probably stuck on the sealing surface of the base...good luck

I put the top on with the leaver almost 360 degrees counter-clockwise and the move it around until it feels seated, then turn it clockwise until it feels snug. Works every time, although the leaver may not be perfectly lined up with the handle.

You hold the big round bottom, and if that does not work you may have to reset it. Save all you info first.

ensure you have the top turned the right direction. There is a specific way it goes on so it does not leak.

You should be able to pull out the little button at the top and turn it around to allow it to stay on.

This is the most annoying thing about this item. It is because the top isn't on precisely the way it should be. When I first got it, I kept playing with it and playing with it, trying to make the 'F' go away. It didnt. Eventually, I just pushed the water container and main console together a few times and it went away. But it probably kept blinking 'F' for the first couple of weeks because I just couldn't fit it together right. Now, if it comes up, I do as mentioned above and it goes away right away. Good luck.

Just put the washer in the top lid. Just push it with your finger and it will stay in place once you close the lid.

Same think happened to me. The problem is the top is not affixed and for some reason the stuff you need is missing. Contact customer service and they will send you a new . It seems this a ongoing problem.

I had the very same problem but the answer is quite simple. The whole top lifts off. Good luck!

The Top stays on. You actually have to pull out the sides slightly to remove the lid. Very good quality
