							RECLINING THE CHAIR
HOW TO EXTEND THE LEGREST
First read, and familiarize yourself with, the safety precautions.To avoid possible tipping of the chair, do not sit, or lean, on backrest while chair back is in a reclined position.
The angle of the chair back can be changed so the body weight and the massage heads will work together to 
determine the strength of the massage.
Try changing the angle of the chair back to find a comfortable massage at a strength that is most suitable for 
your own comfort.  Towels may be used in conjunction with the back cushion to lessen intensity, if desired.
Grasp the lever.
To extend: Tilt the lever back.
To store: Lift the lever.
Leaning back
Returning back to upright after reclining
Press and hold
The legrest will be returned to its normal position (store) and the backrest will be raised.
After use, always be sure to return the legrest and backrest to their normal positions (legrest stored and 
backrest raised).
NOTE: Position the chair at least 17 3/4 in. (45 cm) away from any wall to ensure adequate reclining space. 
Leg leverNOTE:

2Press and hold
While the button is held pressed, the legrest will 
extend and the backrest will recline.
Release the button when the desired position 
has been reached.
Keep children and pets away from the massage lounger, when lowering the legrest, to prevent injury.
Although the legrest is moved automatically according to the movement of the Massage Lounger backrest 
during reclining, the legrest can also be raised and lowered independently using the side lever.
The maximum height (angle) of the legrest when using powered reclining and when using the side lever may 
vary slightly.
The legrest cannot be stored completely if the Massage Lounger backrest is not raised completely.
 (The same condition occurs for lever operation.)
Be careful of the lever during powered reclining. It will move automatically.
Since the legrest will be locked in position when it is raised using the side lever, it cannot be lowered using 
the reclining buttons. Always use the side lever to lower it if it has been raised using the side lever.
Tilt the lever back as far as it will go.
When extending or storing the legrest, lift your 
legs off of the legrest and operate the lever.

HEADREST
HOW TO CLEAN
PLACE OF USE
NOTE: This massage lounger is capable of providing a vigorous “Shiatsu” massage.  The rolling and 
tapping are very strong, and that massage is not for people who have not previously 
experienced a shiatsu massage.  For that reason, a foam cushion is provided to cover, and 
soften, the effect of the massage.  The pad can be removed for a full shiatsu massage, but 
care should be taken.  The first time you try it -- if you decide to -- sit in a relaxed, not tense, 
manner and do not try it for more than two minutes.  After that you should be able to decide 
whether or not you prefer a massage with the pad in place.
Headrest
Back cushion
17
Do not use the Massage Lounger where it can be exposed to direct sunlight for long 
periods of time.  Over exposure to harsh light can discolour or harden the cover.
Do not use the Massage Lounger in hot or humid places or places where it may become 
wet from rain, splashing or dripping water, etc.  Water and heat can cause discoloring and 
mildew. Wipe the cover with a cloth dampened with water and mild soap.  Then, wipe with plain 
water and let dry.
Do not use bleach or solvents such as benzene or alcohol.  Chemicals can discolor or 
damage the material.
Fasten the back cushion to the chair and the 
headrest to the back cushion. 
When the massage function will be used, 
remove the headrest or flip the headrest over the 
back of the chair before starting the massage.
If the massage seems weak, remove the back 
cushion.

PRECAUTIONS CONCERNANT LA SECURITE
1.  Cet équipement ne doit pas être utilisé par des femmes enceintes ni par des personnes 
malades ou souffrant du dos, du cou, des épaules ou des hanches ou de n’importe 
quelle autre condition physique, sans prendre au préalable l’avis de leur médecin 
traitant. Ne pas utiliser à des endroits ayant reçu un traitement médical, sans consulter 
d’abord un médecin.
2.  Ne jamais introduire aucune partie du corps entre les têtes de massage, car on risque 
d’être blessé par l’action du serrage. De même, ne jamais introduire aucune partie du 
corps entre le levier de réglage du masse-jambes et l’accoudoir, ou entre l’accoudoir et 
le dossier.
Ne pas introduire les mains dans la partie mécanique du masse-jambes, située sous le 
siège.
3.  Ne pas utiliser cet équipement à même la peau.
Un vêtement ou un linge mince augmente l’efficacité du massage, mais en exposant 
directement la peau à même l’appareil, cette dernière risque d’être irritée.
4.  Ne pas utiliser pour masser la tête, l’abdomen, les coudes ou les genoux.
5.  Ne pas masser  les muscles du dos pendant plus de 15 minutes consécutives.
Afin d’éviter les douleurs engendrées par un massage excessif à la première séance, 
ne pas utiliser ce fauteuil pendant plus de 5 minutes. Lorsque vous vous serez 
accoutumé au fauteuil, vous pourrez progressivement augmenter la durée et l’intensité 
du massage.
Ne pas masser la même partie du corps pendant plus de 5 minutes consécutives.
Un massage trop prolongé peut stimuler excessivement les muscles et les nerfs et 
produire l’effet contraire de celui pour lequel le massage est prévu.
Pour éviter un massage excessif, ne pas utiliser le fauteuil pendant plus de 15 minutes 
par séance. Après 15 minutes environ, les têtes de massage retournent à leur position 
initiale et s’arrêtent.
6.  Arrêter immédiatement l’appareil si on ressent un malaise ou si le massage semble 
douloureux.
Lors de l’utilisation du fauteuil vibromasseur, si la pression semble trop forte, le 
mouvement des têtes de massage peut être arrêté en appuyant sur la touche d’arrêt.
7.  Ne pas s’asseoir ou poser les jambes sur le dossier incllné et ne pas s’asseoir non plus 
sur l’appuie-jambes car le fauteuil risque de basculer.
8.  Ne pas laisser des enfants jouer sur ou autour du fauteuil, particulièrement pendant son 
fonctionnement.
9.  Ne pas retirer le coussin du dossier sans avoir lu les instructions de la page 34.
