Was it empty when you tried? It doesn't work with an adult sitting in it. Too much weight.

I can't do it when someone is sitting in the chair but can when nobody is in it.. And it should just work I didn't do anything to make it start working though... Sorry I'm not much help but maybe yours is broke...?

In the instructions Manuel it says to have some one heavy sit in it. Then while they are there you push the foot petal. And lower it all the way and let it set over night so the the hydraulic fluids will settle the right way because it is messed up from being shipped.

It's been a while since we put it together. But if I recall correctly it doesn't work right away. You have to let it sit for a day or so. I know the proper way to do it is in the instructions. Just lemme know if you need any more help.

So far Schwinn has been very good about getting back to me, but not so good in fixing the problem. I have replaced the control panel, nearly all the wires and the dc motor. It still doesn't work, but they are still working with me. If either of you have any luck, please let me know via this post.Thanks

Did you take the black thing off the base? We didn't take that off before putting the top on and the chair would not raise or lower. We had to use plyers to get the black thing on the top of the base off, but once it was off and the top was on the chair does raise and lower. Good luck!

Hi Rosemary, does the lift not work on both chairs? You have to actually sit on the chair and then press the lift to go up or down. Let me know if this works.

I have had this happen a couple of times, thinking it was broken. However, there are two things you can do. First, just twist the chair's frame a little to loosen things up. Also, for a long term solution, spray some WD-40 on and down the tubes that normally slide the seat up and down. The tubes just got a little twisted and have a lot of friction inside the other tubes - add lubrication. Good Luck!

I had the same problem! It vibrates out of its level selection. I simply tied a rope from the selector lever to the opposite handle. Done deal!

I also had this issue. My problem was I did not screw the plastic ring part tight enough around the base unit and hence there was no pressure building up, and the pump wasn't dispensing. I called the MISTO customer service and they send me a replacement pump for free, in case there is an issue with the pump part.

So they just contract and stay contracted? Has the pump worked for you before or is this the first time you're using it? First, I'd make sure all the parts are connected properly (push firmly at each connection), especially the white valves underneath the flanges. If that doesn't help, inspect each part of the kit (valves, diaphragm, tubing) for any tears or holes. Do you have any spare parts you can swap out to see if it's one of your parts? If none of the above work, try using the manual pump with the kit for now and call Customer Service. It may be your motor. :( I had problems with suction a few times but it was always the result of forgetting to properly assemble some part, probably because of sleep deprivation. Hopefully it starts working for you soon!

There is a bolt that you insert to keep the handle from falling out. Twist the handle to one side (the right I think) and start pumping. If the jack doesn't start to raise, twist the handle to the other side and pump. To lower the jack twist (slowly) the handle back to the starting position. I found this video on Youtube that you may find helpful. Skip to 6:00 where he has take it out of the box. http://youtu.be/yESlS408mJo

Same thing happened to ours, very cheaply made. We were going to try to fix it, but it wasn't worth the hassle and chances are it wouldn't last. Unfortunately, we threw it away & bought a different chair.

I brought 4 all purpose hydraulic chairs and 3 of them doesn't lock anymore in the reclining position.. They just stop working all of a sudden..

Hello, According to the manufacturer, push the lever inward so the chair will not lean back. If you need anything else, please let us know. Thank you.

Disassembled, you have to put it together. Hydraulic pump is not good, maybe I got a bad one, worked for 2 months.

I just remember when I went to put my chair together it was like the springs were backwards. It took my husband using extreme force to get them to work. I would have to look at my chair to see how many springs total and were they are located, unfortunately it's at work. I will check tomorrow.

Make sure the water reservoir is pushed down ALL THE WAY. I had mine pushed down and the steamer worked, but the pump wasn't getting any water. When my boyfriend tried to push down the water reservoir harder, the machine started working! Good luck!

Send him an email or contact Amazon about your issue, they will take care of it. If you've only had it for a month or so, just call Amazon and explain, i've never had a problem with them taking care of my problems. If you bought it from DesertOasis, you should've got an email from them after your purchase explaining how to assemble it and also how to contact them for assistance. Let me know if i can be of further help...Darryl

join the club! I've spent a lot of time trying to figure that out and I never did. I cleaned all the hoses and the heater. I even replaced the pump, but it still does not spray. I had only used it twice and cleaned it well before storing.
