Features
The Repose Massage Lounger’s backrest has been ergonomically designed
to fit the contour of your back. This results in maximum contact giving a
superior massage.
Back, Neck, and Shoulders
Your Repose Massage Lounger massages your upper back, lower back, neck,
and shoulders using mechanisms that simulate massage techniques similar
to the touch of human hands.
The backrest massage mechanism moves up and down your neck, shoulders,
back, and waist using knock and knead massage actions. The speed and
width of the massage can be adjusted with the control panel.
Knead - Also referred to as Shiatsu. Shiatsu means
“finger pressure”. This is a traditional Japanese
healing method where pressure and stretching is the
key. This technique works on the body’s acupressure
points along what is considered the body’s meridians
or energy channels.
Shiatsu massage is said to help balance a person’s
energy flow and strengthen vital organs.
Knock - Also referred to as Swedish, is a variety of massage techniques
designed to relax muscles by applying pressure and rubbing in the same
direction as the flow of blood returning to the heart.
Swedish massage may shorten the recovery time
from muscular strain by flushing the muscles of
lactic acid, uric acid, and other metabolic wastes. It
also increases circulation without increasing heart
load and stretches the ligaments and tendons
helping to keep them flexible. This massage
technique stimulates and soothes the nervous
system and may help to reduce physical and
emotional stress.
Synchronized Knead and Knock - This technique combines both Knead
and Knock methods of massage.

Calf Muscles and Back of Legs
Your calf muscles and the back of your legs are massaged using airbags. The
airbags are coordinated to simulate a “wave style” of massage which may
help to increase blood circulation.
In the seat of your Repose Massage Lounger,
there are two airbags programmed to inflate and
deflate giving a continuous overlapping massage
on the back of your legs and buttocks.
Airbags are also
used to massage
your calf muscles. In the footrest, there are eight
airbags that inflate and deflate. As one airbag
inflates, another airbag deflates creating a wave
motion.
In addition to having eight airbags for your calves, the footrest lifts and lowers
during the massage. This simulates the pulling and drawing motion of a
massage by human hands.
Lower airbags inflate as the
upper airbags deflate. Upper airbags inflate as the lower airbags deflate. The footrest lifts and lowers repeatedly.
Automatic Massage
The Repose Massage Lounger’s control panel is used to access automatic
massage programs.
By selecting any of the automatic massage modes, you will enjoy a thorough
massage at the touch of a button.
The control panel is arranged so that you can easily select the areas you wish
to massage.
Page 7 of 17

Neck, Back, and Shoulders
Selecting the NECK AUTO function on the
control panel initiates a massage on your
shoulders and the back of your neck.
Selecting BACK AUTO massages the entire
length of back.
Selecting UPPER AUTO massages your back and
midsection down to your waist.
Calf Muscles and Back of Thighs
The airbags in the footrest that massage your calf
muscles are controlled by the ON/OFF button on
the lower section of the control panel.
Selecting the AUTO button will cause the footrest to
raise and lower as the airbags inflate and deflate.
When you have completed your massage, or if
you need to stop during a massage, press the
STOP button. This resets the massage lounger
causing the footrest to descend and the backrest
to rise to the upright position.

Assembly and Setup
Backrest
The backrest folds down to help reduce the amount of storage space required
while the lounger is not in use.
Unfolding the Backrest
To unfold the backrest, lift the backrest away from the seat
cushion.
When the backrest reaches the vertical position, you will hear
a clicking sound as the backrest locks into place.
Folding the Backrest
On the back of the lounger, below the seat, there is a
latch that secures the backrest in the upright position.
Push down to unlatch the locking mechanism and move
the backrest toward the footrest. As the backrest
approaches the seat cushion, it will stop.

fingers, or any objects between the seat and the backrest.
The backrest cushion and pillows can be removed
and replaced to help adjust the comfort level of the
massage.
The backrest cushion is
attached using a zipper
located on the top of the
backrest.
The pillow attaches to the backrest cushion with
Velcro.
