  If the electric height adjustment on your CHINESPORT Spa Sports & Outdoors equipment isn't working, start by checking the motor connections to ensure they are properly connected. If the batteries are flat and the red LED is on, recharge them. If the emergency button is pressed, stop pressing it and remove any obstructions. If the main fuse is blown or the LEDs are off, or if the control box, manual override, or lift actuator is faulty, contact your local distributor or Chinesport customer service.

  If your CHINESPORT Spa Sports & Outdoors device with autonomous mobility isn't moving, first, ensure the main switch is set to “I” (and the 3 LEDs under the chassis are on). Next, check that the joystick is turned on (power button lit). Also, verify that the wheels aren't blocked and there are no obstacles. If the batteries are flat, recharge them. If the joystick is stuck (power button is on but odd LEDs are blinking), unlock it. If the control unit or joystick are broken, contact your local distributor or Chinesport customer service.

  If the gas spring lift or height adjustment with gas spring on your CHINESPORT Spa Sports & Outdoors equipment isn't working, it could be due to a broken gas spring. In this case, contact your local distributor or Chinesport customer service. Alternatively, the cable from the lever to the gas spring might be broken, in which case you should replace the cable.
