Looking for a correct translation from English to Spanish

I have a button on a control panel that activates a pump on an another piece of equipment. The English above this button currently reads "Push to Pump". My current translation in Spanish provided 13 years ago is "Pucha Para Pompa". I have been told the translation is incorrect and may even be offensive. I am looking for the correct Spanish translation. If I change the English to "Push & Hold to Pump" could I get the Spanish translation for it as well. Thanks.

I would say:

"Oprima y manténgalo para bombear"

Let's wait for a native speaker, or someone with advanced knowledge, to tell us what sounds most natural.

Welcome to the forum, B.
