function. Use the provided Allen wrench. Then, properly dispose of the
screw. Warning: Failure to remove screw may cause permanent
damage to the massage cushion.
To reduce the risk of electric shock, this appliance has a polarized
plug (one blade is wider than the other). This plug will fit in a polarized
outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse
the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to install
the proper outlet. Do not change the plug in any way.
1. Un-tie cord strap, extend cord and insert plug into 120-volt household
electrical outlet to power unit.
2. Attach the cushion to most chairs for a luxurious massage as you
read, rest or even work. See pages 8-9 for instructions on the use of
the control.
Strapping System
The Cushion incorporates a unique strapping system which allows you
to fasten it to almost any chair. Just slip the straps over the seat or
chair and adjust fastening straps to secure. Your massager won’t slip
or slide away.
Caution:
To avoid pinching
do not lean
on massage
mechanism in
the cushion when
adjusting your
body position.
Do not jam or
force any part of
your body in the
moving massage
mechanism.
