SAFETY PRECAUTIONS WARNING: To avoid the risk of injury: 1. Pregnant women, people who are ill, in poor physical shape or undergoing medical treatment, and people suffering from back, neck, shoulder or hip pain should consult their doctor before using the unit. If you have a pacemaker, defibrillator, or other personal medical device, consult with the manufacturer of your device before using the unit. Your physician may be able to assist you in obtaining this information. 2. Sit down slowly after checking the position of the massage heads. Never put any part of your body between the massage heads as the squeezing action of the massage heads may cause injury. Never put your fingers or feet in the gap between the backrest and seat, the backrest and the armrest, the seat and cover under the armrest, or the gap between the legrest and the footrest. Do not place your fingers or any part of your body in the mechanism below the legrest, or between the legrest and footrest. 3. Do not allow the massage heads to be used on the head, abdomen or bare skin. Do not allow knees to come in contact with or become caught in the legrest. Protect the neck area by covering it with a towel, etc. When raising the backrest, do not allow hands or feet to become caught between the backrest and the backrest latch or the backrest and the armrests. 4. Do not allow the unit to be used on bare skin. Do not use excessively strong massage action on the back of the neck. 5. When using the massager, use the Neck Roller Position button to adjust the massage heads to the correct position. You can adjust the shoulder position in this way in the pre-programs and Rolling in the manual operation. Failure to align the shoulder position correctly can lead to injury. 6. Do not stretch the back muscles for more than approximately 15 minutes at a time. To avoid overstretching the muscles which may result in discomfort, do not use the unit for more than 5 minutes when first using it. You can gradually increase the duration and strength of the massage as you become used to it. Do not massage any one point for more 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 each session. After approximately 15 minutes, the massage heads will be retracted and stop moving. The back cushion can be removed if you want to experience a stronger back massage. Exercise extreme care when you use this mode in order to avoid back pain or injury. Use only for short periods of time (no more than 15 minutes). Reinstall the back cushion if you want to restore to normal massage intensity. 7. While using the massager, if you start feeling sick or if the massage seems painful, stop using it immediately. While using the massager, if the pressure seems too strong, the movement of the massage heads can be stopped at any time by pressing the Quick Stop button. 8. Do not go to sleep while using the unit. Do not use the unit after drinking alcohol. 9. When the seat 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 as the unit may fall over. 10. Do not allow children or pets to play on or around the unit, especially during operation. 11. Do not unplug the unit or turn it off during operation. Unplug the unit immediately if there is a power outage. 12. If using the massager for the first time, it is recommended to start on the swedish massage program. The shiatsu massage is stronger and should be enjoyed after one has gotten accustomed to the chair. 13. Do not allow children to play on this mechanized furniture or operate the mechanism. Legrest folds down on closing so that a child could possibly be injured. Always leave in an upright and closed position. Keep hands and feet clear of mechanism. Only the occupant should operate it. 2
OPERATING PRECAUTIONS WARNING: To avoid damaging the chair, follow these precautions: 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 unit. Any such damage is deemed to be user abuse and is not covered under the Limited Warranty. 2. Do not 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 armrest and the chair back. 3. Do not treat the chair roughly, such as turning the chair on its side, turning the chair over or standing on it. 4. Do not treat the covering roughly. •Keep sharp or pointed objects away from the covering of the chair. Be careful not to drop lit ashes, lit cigarettes 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 service center. 6. Do not attempt to repair the massager yourself. 7. Do not repeatedly operate any switch at short intervals. Such action 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 and is normal. 9. Make sure there are no obstacles behind the chair before reclining it. The chair can be reclined to a maximum angle of 170°. If the back hits a wall or pillar, the chair 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, one’s body weight may stop the heads’ movement. In such case, slightly raise your body and allow the massage heads to move up. 11. After each massage, slide the power switch, which is located on the right side of the chair, to the “off” position and turn its lock switch to the “lock” position. 12. Do not sit on the chair with wet body or hair. 13. The unit must not be used in “wet rooms” (sauna, swimming pool) or outdoors. 3
