English Setting up the massage lounger
1 Where to use the unit
•  Ensure adequate space to recline.
•  Do not expose the massage lounger to direct sunlight or high 
temperatures, such as in front of heating sources, because this can cause 
discolouration or hardening of the synthetic leather.
•  Place the unit on a mat to prevent fl oor damage.
•  When placing a mat under the unit, the size of the mat should be suffi   cient 
[at least 47.2 in. × 27.6 in. (120 cm × 70 cm)] to cover the areas where the 
unit touches and where the legrest could touch the fl oor, as shown in the 
diagram on the right.
•  Install the unit near a power socket.
  See Warning No. 11 and 12 on page 1, and Caution No.23 on page 3.
Keep at least 4" (10 cm) away from the wall.

Mat
Legrest Back cover
Place your 
fi  ngers in the 
groove
Do not hold onto 
the front side. 
The sole massage 
section might slide, 
and injuries may 
occur. Hold onto the sides. 
•  Since the unit is very heavy [approximately 
191.8 lbs (87 kg)], be careful to avoid back 
injuries. (The unit must be carried by two or 
more persons.)
To put the unit down on the 
fl oor
•  Put the unit down slowly and carefully 
watch your step.
•  Put down the legrest by holding it with your  hands until it has been set on the fl  oor 
completely. If you release your hands before 
the legrest is fully extended, the legrest will 
forcefully return to the initial position. 
•  The fl oor may get damaged, so it is  recommended to place a mat etc. on the 
fl oor.
 See Caution No.22 and 23 on page 3.
