Instructions for Use

The Shiatsu Massage Cushion comes with a screw located on the
back of the unit to protect the massage mechanism during shipment,
which must be removed before the first use to allow the unit to
function properly. Use the provided allen wrench. Then properly

dispose of the screw. Warning – Failure to remove screw may
cause permanent damage to the massage cushion.

To reduce risk of electric shock, this appliance has a polarized plug
(one blade is wider than the other). This plug will fit in a polarized
outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse
the plug If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to install
the proper outlet. Do not change the plug in any way.
Untie cord strap, extend cord and insert plug into a 120-volt

household electrical outlet to power unit.

Strapping System

The Shiatsu Massage Cushion incorporates a unique strapping
system which allows you to fasten it to almost any chair. Just slip
the straps over the seat or chair and adjust the fastening straps to
secure. Your massager won’t slip or slide away. Attach the cushion to
most chairs for a luxurious massage as you read, rest, or even work.
See pages 6-7 for instructions on the use of the hand control.
