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 equipment-grounding 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 normal 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.

MASSAGE TECHNIQUES

PERCUSSION

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.

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

ROLLING

Rolls gently up and down your back near your spine.

Warms and loosens your muscles, preparing your back for deeper massage. Relieves muscle tension, improves circulation and relaxes the back.

KNEADING

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

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

COMPRESSION

Presses on spinal muscles and spinal joint areas using alternating strokes and a gentle rocking motion, emulating a technique used in sports medicine and in spinal therapy by chiropractors.

Spreads and applies pressure to deep muscle tissue, forcing it to relax, while the rocking motion loosens spinal joints. Aides in muscle and joint repair due to strain from exercise, long hours bent over a desk, or just dayto-day stress, and can improve mobility and overall posture.

What It Does

Beneﬁ ts

SEAT

A series of air bags located in the seat pad inflate and deflate to create a unique seat massage.

Soothes tired seat muscles, caused by sitting in uncomfortable chairs or sitting for long periods of time.

HEAT

Two lumbar heat modules gently warm the lower back muscles, gradually reducing tightness and pain.

Heat calms and soothes back muscles, preparing them for a more restorative massage and faster healing.
