Put some water in it, add your pellets then pump untill pellets sink, release the air out of the punp by depressing the button on the pump. if it's a browning look here.

Hi jasper
piece of cake m8!
fill about a third with pellet then top with water to about an inch from top,put lid on and give about 6-8 pumps! release the air and repeat,this time leave them in the pump without releasing for about 10 mins! then release and your pellets are ready.keep them under water in a bait tub and use any floaters(if any) for hookers, by keeping them in water it will stop them turnin to floaters!
another thing,add any colour or flavour you want with the initial water!
hope this helps!

It depends which pump you have. fill 3/4s with pellet, pump a couple of times, hold plunger out until no bubbles coming from pellets. there should still be some liquid in pump and pellets should have sunk to bottom. Kepp pumped pellets in a sealed container or they will float again. As said eartlier, addd your flavours etc to the water before you pump, personally, i always use gellatine to give them a rubbery texture
