Grounding Instructions:

This product must be grounded. If it should malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electrical current to reduce the risk of electric shock. This product is equipped with a cord having an equipmentgrounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.

DANGER: Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of electronic shock.

Check with a qualiﬁed electrician or serviceman if you are in doubt as to whether this product is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with the product – if it will not ﬁt the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualiﬁed electrician.

This product is for use on a nominal 120-volt circuit and has a grounding plug that looks like the plug illustrated in sketch (A). A temporary adapter that looks like the adapter used in sketches (B) and (C) may be used to connect this plug to a 2-pole receptacle as shown in sketch (B), if a properly grounded plug is not available. The temporary adapter should be used only until a properly grounded outlet (sketch A) can be installed by a qualiﬁed electrician. The green colored, rigid ear tab or the like extending from the adapter must be connected to a permanent ground such as a properly grounded outlet box cover. Whenever the adapter is used, it must be held in place by a metal screw.

ENGLISH

2. Attach the backrest pad

Attach the top backrest pad flap to the top of the backrest. Smooth the two bottom flaps under the bottom of the backrest. Attach each side flap to the side of the backrest. All flaps attach using hook-and-loop fasteners.

take a seat

1. Adjust the footrest height

Using your Human Touch massage chair is easy. Just take

a seat and adjust the backrest and foot and calf massager to the desired position. Your Human Touch massage chair helps you feel better from head to toe, using a wide variety of massage techniques that you control. It’s the perfect way to relax and refresh.

ENGLISH

While sitting in the chair, use the remote control legs up and legs down settings to raise the footrest to a comfortable height.

2. Adjust the backrest

Use the remote control recline and incline settings to adjust the backrest angle for maximum comfort.

FOR A CALF OR FOOT MASSAGE

1. Deploy the foot and calf massager

Pull up on the footrest release handle (located on the right side of the footrest).

For a calf massage, rotate the footrest away from the chair until it clicks into position with the foot and calf massager facing up. Do not

force the rotation of the footrest past the point at which it clicks to lock. Excess force may damage the mechanism.

For a foot massage, rotate the footrest away from the chair just until the foot and calf massager is facing up. Do not rotate it so far that it clicks into position; the footrest should be moving freely for a foot massage.

2. Insert your calves or feet

3. Extend the footrest (optional)

To accommodate longer legs, pull up on the footrest extension lever to extend the footrest outward.

The remote control is conveniently stored in a cradle under the left-hand arm of the chair. While sitting in the chair, pull the remote control cradle up and outward for easier access.

When changing backrest or foot and calf massager direction, there is a slight pause while the chair gears shift. This is perfectly normal.

humantouch.com

Do not stand or sit on the foot and calf massager.

For an easier exit, retract the footrest and restore the backrest to a full upright position before getting out of the chair.

Make sure the area behind/underneath the footrest is clear of any obstructions before retracting the footrest.

KNEADING

PERCUSSION

ROLLING

Kneads your back in a small, circular motion on both sides of your spine simultaneously.

Alternates rapid-tapping strokes along the spine to stimulate both spinal muscles and spinal joint areas, emulating the percussive massage technique used in sports medicine for deep muscle therapy.

Rolls gently up and down your back near your spine.

Relieves tension and soreness by lifting and stretching muscles. Improves circulation and helps bring vital nutrients to the spinal area.

Flexes spinal joints and relieves pressure on the spinal column, invigorating the entire back area.
