SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
WARNING: To avoid risk of injury
1.
This product should not be used by pregnant women, persons who are ill, or persons
with back, neck, shoulder or hip pain, or conditions of any kind, without consulting a
physician prior to use. Do not use on any area that has received medical treatment
without consulting a physician prior to use.
. Never put any part of the body between the massage heads. The squeezing action of
the massage heads may cause injury. Never put any part of the body between the arm
rest and the chair back.
Do not place hands in the mechanical portion of legrest located under the seat.
Do not use without clothing.
Thin clothing increases the effectiveness, but exposing the skin directly to the
massager can irritate the skin.
. Do not use for massaging the head, abdomen, elbows or knees.
. Do not stretch the back muscles for more than approx. 15 minutes at one time.
To avoid overstretching of muscles and resulting discomfort when first using the chair,
do not use for more than 5 minutes. You can gradually increase duration and intensity
as you adjust to the chair.
Do not massage any one point for longer than 5 minutes at a time.
Excessive massaging can overstimulate the muscles and nerves and result in an
adverse effect.
To prevent excessive massaging, do not use the massager for more than a total of 15
minutes per session. After approx. 15 minutes, the massage heads will return to the
"restore" position and stop.
. While using the massager, if you start feeling sick, or if the massage seems painful,
stop use immediately.
While using the massager, if the pressure seems too strong, the movement of the
massage heads can be stopped by pressing the stop button.
. When the chair back is in a reclined position, do not sit on it, or sit with your legs resting
on the headrest.
Do not sit on the legrest. The chair may fall over.
. Do not allow children or pets to play on, or around, the chair, especially during
operation.
. Do not remove the back cushion without first reading instructions on page 17.

OPERATING PRECAUTIONS
CAUTION: To avoid damage to the chair
1. The chair is designed for a maximum user weight of 264 lbs. (120 kg)
Exceeding the maximum weight may cause permanent damage to the massage
mechanism and / or other components of the chair. Any such damage is deemed to be
user abuse and is not covered under the Limited Warranty.
2. Do nat sit on or drop the controller. Do not pull the controller cord or the power cord. Be
careful not to catch the cord of the controller between the arm rest and the chair back.
3. Do not treat the chair roughly, such as forcing the reclining lever, turning the chair on its
side, turning the chair over or standing on it.
4. Do nat treat the covering roughly.
* Keep sharp or pointed objects away from the covering of the chair. Be careful not to
drop lit ashes or matches on the chair.
* Exposure to direct sunlight can cause fading or a change in color of the covering.
5. If the massager functions abnormally, immediately turn off the power and have the
massager checked by an authorized servicenter.
6. Do not attempt to repair the massager yourself.
7. Do not repeatedly operate any switch at short intervals. It may cause the switch to
malfunction.
8. Some noise may be heard coming from the massager while in use. This is due to the
structure of the massager. This is a normal condition.
9. Make sure that there are no obstacles behind the chair when reclining it. The chair can
be reclined to a maximum angle of 160°. If the back hits a wall or pillar, it may
malfunction. Be sure to have ample space behind the chair. Recline the chair slowly in
order to avoid contact with an obstacle.
10. When excessive pressure is applied to the massage heads, they may stop moving for
safety. When moving the heads up from the lowered position, the body weight may
stop the heads movement. In such case, slightly raise the body and allow the heads to
move up.
11. After each massage, slide the power switch which is located on the side of the chair to
"off" position and turn its lock switch to "lock" position.
CARING FOR THE MASSAGER
e Always unplug the chair before cleaning.
e |f the covering becomes soiled, dampen with liquid soap and brush the surface.
Wipe with a cloth dampened with water. Allow to dry naturally. If the plastic portions
become soiled, use lukewarm water, with liquid soap on a soft cloth to clean the surface.
e Do not use thinner, benzene or other solvent type cleaners.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This product must be grounded. If it should malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides
a path of least resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock.
This product is equipped with a cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and a
grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is properly
installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
DANGER
Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric
shock. Check with a qualified electrician if you are in doubt as to whether the product is
properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with the product even if it does not fit
the outlet. Have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
This product is for use on a nominal 120-volt circuit and has a grounding plug that looks like
the plug illustrated in Figure A. Make sure that the product is connected to an outlet
having the same configuration as the plug. No adaptor should be used with this product.
