TROUBLESHOOTING SIMPLE PROBLEMS
SHORT BATTERY LIFE Battery life drops dramatically at lower temperatures. Care for your battery by
stopping play when speed drops, recharging the battery as soon as practical, and keeping it topped up.
MACHINE DOES NOT RUN Begin by checking if the reset button has popped. If so, push it down after
investigating the cause of the problem (most likely balls preventing the propulsion wheels from turning).
CAROUSEL DOES NOT TURN Check that the feed control knob is turned to at least the midpoint of the
scale. Remember that there is a delay feature on the SPORT. You can try to turn the carousel by hand
(gently): if the carousel turns without engaging the motor, call the factory (1-800-662-1809).
REMOTE CONTROL DOES NOT WORK (STAR only) The remote control consists of a transmitter
(small hand held device) and a receiver (installed in the machine). Problems of reception are usually
caused by a weak battery in the transmitter (note that the red light on the transmitter is not a battery level
indicator). Replacing the battery with a fresh one from your local electronics store should be the first
step in diagnosing transmission problems.
