nto the hole that was left by the screw. Warning – Failure to remove

screw may cause permanent damage to the massage cushion.

To reduce the 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 it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to install the proper
outlet. Do not change the plug in any way.

This cushion is powered by and comes with a UL-approved cord. Untie
cord strap, extend cord and insert plug into 120-volt household electrical
outlet to power unit.

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.

Strapping System

The Double Shiatsu Massaging 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 fastening straps
to secure. Your massager won’t slip or slide away.

. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug.

when using on
upholstered
