DIRECTIONS FOR USE
CHAIR HEIGHT, SEAT ANGLE & HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT
CAUTION
Cable System changes the height of the chair.
To change cable setting:
1. Lift seat to relax tension on the cable and remove the “Z” clip from the seat hole.
2. Insert the “Z” clip into the correct hole and pull back on seat tube until the cable is taut.
The “Z” clip should lay flat against the seat tube.
Raising and lowering the seat height also changes the seat angle.
A good basic seat position is when the seat is angled downward toward the front feet, with the
back of the seat higher than the front. Lumbar strain can be reduced by raising the seat height
one to two holes.
To change the seat height:
Push in button on seat tube while raising or lowering the seat. Release button when proper height is achieved
These adjustments can only be made when no one is on the chair.
CAUTION
Be sure the push button is fully engaged and the seat tube is not resting
on “Z” clip before sitting on the chair.
ARM REST ADJUSTMENTS
CAUTION
To change the arm rest position
1. Pull the buckle tab to lengthen the strap. Release the cam lock. Lift or
lower arm rest until your client’s forearms rest comfortably on the padand
his/her shoulders are comfortably rounded.
2. Lock cam lock and tighten strap by pulling on it.
The arm rest is designed for the weight of your clients forearms. Do not allow your cli-
ents to push against the arm rest to lift themselves out of the chair.

DIRECTIONS FOR USE
HELPING YOUR CLIENT ONTO THE CHAIR
• Have your client stand on the right side of the chair and grasp the chair frame just above the chest pad for support.
• Have the client straddle the seat and place left knee on the left knee pad (farthest away from their body).
• Your client can then gradually begin to sit down. Once seated, the client can put right knee on the right knee pad.
• You can then make the proper adjustments to the face and arm rests for proper client comfort and positioning.
FACE REST ADJUSTMENTS FOR OPTIMAL CLIENT COMFORT
Cam
Oakworks QuickLock™ Face Rest has virtually unlimited positioning.
1. Show your client how to get on the chair.
2. Release the cam locks and knobs on the face rest. (Fig.1)
3. Ask your client to sit down and hold onto the face rest on the Hook and Loop
Fastener on the sides of the “U” tube. (Fig.2)
4. Tell your client to pull the face rest toward his/her forehead until it rests comfortably on the pad.
5. Have your client lean forward, letting the chair support his/her weight until in a
relaxed position.
6. Lock the cam locks first and then tighten the knobs.

• Do not over tighten the knobs - too much force may cause stripping. (Fig.3)
• The face rest can be moved up and down after loosening the knobs and
angled after releasing the cam locks.
• The face rest platform cam locks are reversible
TIPS FOR PERFECT POSITIONING
• Adjust seat height higher for those short clients who are having trouble getting
comfortably into the face rest.
• Reduce knee flexion by raising the seat and the chair height. Some clients may
find it more comfortable to put their feet flat on the floor.
• Short, heavy or large-breasted clients will be more comfortable with the face rest
moved toward them, over the chest pad.
• The Sternum Pad (Fig. 4) helps you maximize the effects of treatments.
Position the sternum pad vertically when doing shoulder work or for largebreasted clients. Position the sternum pad horizontally with the ridge just below
the breasts for pregnant women.
• Use the sternum pad for supporting the cervical region. Replace the face-rest
pad with the sternum pad. Release the cam locks and knobs, and move the sternum pad so that the ridge of the sternum pad supports the cervical spine. You may
have to lower the seat or provide a foot stool for shorter clients.
• To seat clients backwards in chair, turn the face pad around so that the curve of
the “U” supports your client’s neck and lower the seat so that it is parallel to the
floor. (Fig. 5)

DIRECTIONS FOR USE
FOLDING AND CARRYING YOUR CHAIR
1. Release the arm-rest cam lock and the strap to fold the arm rest.
Lock the cam.
2. Fold down the face rest and relock the cam locks and tighten the
knobs (Fig 5).
3. Put the push button on the seat tube into the third hole from the bottom.
4. Lean the chair forward and push in the seat. The chair will fold
(Fig.6). Push on the seat to lock it in the folded position.
5. The massage chair has wheels, so you can pull it along smooth
surfaces by holding onto the face rest. Use the spacer bar on the
face rest as a handle for pulling your chair. Stand behind the seat
and grab the spacer bar. Pull it toward you.
6. Your chair is designed to protect the pads by keeping them far
off the floor as you pull it (Fig.7).The wheels will roll on any surface.
To carry your chair, lift by holding onto one of the main tubes
at the pivot bolt and resting the seat pad against your hip. The
optional shoulder strap will make carrying your chair easier. (Fig.8)

1. To put your chair in its case, follow directions above for folding your
chair. Relock all of the cam locks.
2. With the zipper open all the way, drape the case over the top of your
chair as it is standing. The zipper should be on the side of the chair.
(Fig. 9)
3. Zip the zipper closed as far as you can. (Fig. 10)
4. Put the chair on its side and bring the case up over the legs.

CLEANING & DISINFECTION
CARE OF YOUR CHAIR
It is important to visually inspect your chair on a quarterly basis to make sure there are no missing parts and
that all parts are in good working order without excessive wear. Check all nuts, bolts and screws. Over time
they may work their way loose, leading to an unsafe condition. Tighten any of these if they are loose. Inspect
the cable that is used for adjusting the height of the chair for signs of wear. Replace the cable if there are signs of
fraying. The chair should not be used if any problems are found until they are fixed.
The best way to protect your product is by using sheets, fleeces, and accessory covers that prevent oil and
body contact from occurring. Your table should be cleaned and/or disinfected only as needed.
We recommend cleaning your upholstery fabric to protect it against oil stains and dirt which will cause
cracking and permanent stains over time. Clean your upholstered items when needed using a mild solution of 4:1 diluted non-alcohol cleaner such as 409®, Fantastik®, Green Windex or some other non-abrasive
cleaner. For disinfecting purposes you may use Protex, MadaCide, Accell TB, Virox (Canada) or a diluted
1/100 bleach solution. Dry the table immediately after cleaning to remove excess cleaning solution.
Note: Damage caused by cleaners will not be covered under the warranty.
Using citrus based cleaners or other strong cleaners, such as alcohol, acetone, higher concentrations of
bleach or other products that contain high concentrations of these substances, can shorten the life of your
fabric, or discolor it.
Small rips are easily repaired with VLP, available from Oakworks. Major vinyl damage may require pad replacement,
also available from Oakworks.
DO NOT store in temperatures below 32°F/0°C or above 95°F/35°C. Extreme hot and cold temperatures will
damage the upholstery fabric and may cause cold-cracking, brittleness and stretching. Always keep your
table away from heaters, electrical appliances and direct sunlight.
