Troubleshooting 

 
If you experience difficulty using your massage lounger, please read this section 
prior to contacting Repose Customer Service for assistance. 
 

Problem Solution 

It sounds and feels like the massage 
heads are working too hard to get over 
wrinkles in the fabric. 
The motor groans while under load. 
There seems to be excessive noise 
during tapping. 
There is a creaking sound while the 
massage heads are functioning. 
When the massage heads move up or 
down, there is a rattling sound. 
There is a rubbing sound as the 
massage heads rub on the seat fabric. 
There is a noise when the backrest is 
reclining or rising. 
When the power switch is turned on 
there is a humming sound. 
There is a hissing sound of air 
escaping. 
There is a humming sound from the 
pump. 
The footrest rattles. 

These sounds are normal.  

The massage heads stop during 
operation. 

If excessive force is applied to the 
massage heads during operation, in 
the interests of safety the massage 
heads may stop moving. 
 
If this occurs, raise your body slightly to 
reduce the weight on the backrest 
before restarting. 

The massage heads do not come up to 
the shoulder or neck. 

Use the locate button to define the 
range of movement to fit your body. 

The air in the seat is not being 
released. 

If the power cord is unplugged or there 
is a power failure while the air massage 
is in progress, the air will be trapped in 
the unit and will automatically release 
when power is reapplied.  

The backrest will not recline or the 
footrest cannot be raised or lowered. 

If obstacles are encountered or 
excessive force is exerted during the 
movement, the footrest or backrest will 
be stopped automatically to prevent 
damage.
