or possible obstacles in the operating range of the chair (ranges of seat raising/lowering,
backrest reclining/raising, chair rotation, legrest operation) or nearby. There is a danger of
body parts being pinched by the chair, resulting in injury or damage.
Precautions when changing the preset positions
•Before and while setting the preset positions, thoroughly check that there are no bodies or
limbs of persons, or possible obstacles in the operating range of the chair or the area
around the chair. There is a danger of body parts being pinched by the chair, resulting in
injury or damage.
•The legrest moves in conjunction with the backrest. When changing the preset positions,
be very careful that the step or the customer's feet will not contact any nearby equipment
or other items.
Precautions after changing the preset positions
After changing the settings of preset positions, thoroughly check that there are no bodies or
limbs of persons, or possible obstacles in the operating range of the chair or the area around
the chair. There is a danger of body parts being pinched by the chair, resulting in injury or
damage.
Only sit in the area designated for such use.
Never sit on the headrest, armrests, edge of the backrest, legrest or step, or subject these to
an excessive (more than necessary) load or force with the backrest reclined. Doing so can
result in the chair tipping over or being damaged.
Do not stand on the edge of the step.
Do not stand on the edge of the step. Doing so could cause the chair to tip over or the step
could suddenly move, resulting in injury or damage.
Precautions regarding customers and children
Be careful to closely watch customers (especially children) in order to make sure that they
do not accidentally cause chair operation, resulting in an unexpected accident.
Do not allow a customer to lie face down on the chair.

in injury.
Precautions when reclining/raising the backrest
•The space between the backrest and seat becomes narrow when the backrest is reclined.
Check that the customer's hands, arms or clothes are not caught between the backrest and
seat before reclining the backrest. There is a danger of body parts being pinched by the
chair, resulting in injury.
•Carefully recline the backrest so that the headrest or backrest will not contact any
shampoo bowl or nearby equipment.
•When you recline the backrest without using the headrest, support the customer's head
with your hand so that the customer will not contact with the shampoo bowl.
•Before raising the backrest, check that the customer's arms or hands are not in between
the backrest and armrests, and operate it safely.

equipment. Be especially careful of the position of a reclined customer, and the customer's
body, hands and feet when the backrest is reclined. Check that the safety of the customer
is ensured before rotating the chair.
• Be careful that the adjuster under the step does not contact or catch on the power cord.
• Be sure to always lock (secure) chair rotation by using the rotation lock switch after
rotating the chair. Always be sure that the chair rotation is locked before moving the chair.
There is a danger of injury or damage if the chair rotates suddenly.
• Always be sure to lock the chair when not rotating it.
Procedures if a power outage occurs
• Turn off the power switch and remove the power plug of this product from the outlet in
order to prevent unexpected operation when recovering from a power outage. Also turn
off the power switches of all devices connected to the service outlet and remove the power
plugs of devices.
• Be extremely careful if there is a power outage when the seat is in a high position such as
for shampooing as it is not possible to lower the chair. Assist the customer in getting in
and out of the chair in that position, being very careful that the customer is not injured and
the chair does not tip over.
Precautions for the surrounding area during chair operation
Before and during operation, thoroughly check that there are no bodies or limbs of persons,
or possible obstacles in the operating range of the chair (ranges of seat raising/lowering,
backrest reclining/raising, chair rotation, legrest operation) or nearby. There is a danger of

Procedures for using removable step
• After installing the step, check that the step fixture is securely held by the guide, the
plating Flange nuts(M6) are inserted in the insertion holes, and the step is not loose. Be
careful that there is no looseness as this could result in instability when the customer is
getting in and out of the chair, and in rubbing against the upper surface of the step when
the legrest is raised.
• Be careful when lifting and carrying the step, and of where you place it because the step
is heavy. Dropping the step could result in serious injury.
