the following:
Read all instructions before using the massage lounger.
DANGER – To reduce the risk of electric shock:

cleaning.
WARNING – To reduce the risk of burns, fire, electric shock or injury to persons:

not in use.
2. Close and continuous supervision is necessary when this appliance is used by invalids
or disabled persons.
3. Use this appliance only for its intended use as described in this manual.
4. Do not stand on or in the appliance. Use only while seated.
5. Do not use accessories not recommended by the manufacturer.
6. This appliance should not be used by children. Keep children away from massage
lounger. To avoid possible injury always return chair to an upright position and retract

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
WARNING: To avoid risk of injury
1. This product should not be used by pregnant women, persons who are ill, or persons
with back, neck, shoulder or hip pain, or conditions of any kind, without consulting a
physician prior to use. Do not use on any area of the body that has received medical
treatment without consulting a physician prior to use.
2. Never put any part of the body between the massage heads. The squeezing action of
the massage heads may cause injury. Never put any part of the body between the
armrest and the chair back.
Do not place hands in the mechanical portion of the legrest located under the seat.
3. Do not use against bare skin; always wear clothing.
Thin clothing increases the effectiveness, but exposing the skin directly to the massager
can irritate the skin.
4. Do not use for massaging the head, abdomen, elbows or knees.
5. Do not stretch the back muscles for more than approximately 15 minutes at one time.
To avoid overstretching of muscles and resulting discomfort when first using the chair,
do not use for more than 5 minutes. You can gradually increase duration and intensity
as you adjust to the chair.
Do not massage any one point for longer than 5 minutes at a time.
Excessive massaging can overstimulate the muscles and nerves and result in an
adverse effect.
To prevent excessive massaging, do not use the massager for more than a total of 15
minutes per session. After approximately 15 minutes, the massage heads will return to
the “resting” position and stop.
6. While using the massager, if you start feeling sick, or if the massage seems painful, stop
use immediately.
While using the massager, if the pressure seems too strong, the movement of the
massage heads can be stopped by pressing the “quick stop” button.
7. When the chair back is in a reclined position, do not sit on it, or sit with your legs resting
on the headrest.
Do not sit on the legrest. The chair may fall over.
8. Do not allow children or pets to play on or around the chair, especially during operation.
9. Do not remove the back cushion without first reading instructions on page 15.

OPERATING PRECAUTIONS
WARNING: To avoid damage to the chair
1. The chair is designed for a maximum user weight of 264 lbs. (120 kg). Exceeding the
maximum weight may cause permanent damage to the massage mechanism and/or
other components of the chair. Any such damage is deemed to be user abuse and is not
covered under the Limited Warranty.
2. Do not sit on or drop the controller. Do not pull the controller cord or the power cord.
Be careful not to catch the cord of the controller between the armrest and the chair
back.
3. Do not treat the chair roughly, such as forcing the reclining lever, turning the chair on its
side, turning the chair over or standing on it.
4. Do not treat the covering roughly.
• Keep sharp or pointed objects away from the covering of the chair. Be careful not to
drop lit ashes or matches on the chair.
• Exposure to direct sunlight can cause fading or a change in color of the covering.
5. If the massager functions abnormally, immediately turn off the power and have the
massager checked by an authorized service center.
6. Do not attempt to repair the massager yourself.
7. Do not repeatedly operate any switch at short intervals. Such action may cause the
switch to malfunction.
8. Some noise may be heard coming from the massager while in use. This is due to the
structure of the massager and is normal.
9. Make sure there are no obstacles behind the chair before reclining it. The chair can be
reclined to a maximum angle of 160°. If the back hits a wall or pillar, the chair may
malfunction. Be sure to have ample space behind the chair. Recline the chair slowly in
order to avoid contact with an obstacle.
10.When excessive pressure is applied to the massage heads, they may stop moving for
safety. When moving the heads up from the lowered position, one’s body weight may
stop the heads’ movement. In such case, slightly raise the body and allow the massage
heads to move up.
11. After each massage, slide the power switch, which is located on the back of the chair, to
the “off” position and turn its lock switch to the “lock” position.
CARING FOR THE MASSAGER
• Always unplug the chair before cleaning.
• If the covering becomes soiled, dampen with liquid soap and brush the surface. Wipe with
a cloth dampened with water. Allow to dry naturally. If the plastic portions become soiled
use lukewarm water, with liquid soap on a soft cloth, to clean the surface.
• Do not use thinner, benzene or other solvent-type cleaners. Chemicals can discolor or
damage the materials.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
• This product must be grounded. If it should malfunction, grounding provides the path of
least resistance for electric 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 electric
shock. Check with a qualified electrician if you are in doubt as to whether the product is
properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with the product even if it does 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 shown in Figure A. Make sure that the
product is connected to an outlet having the
same configuration as the plug. No adaptor
should be used with this product.
HOW TO MOVE THE CHAIR
CAUTION
Do not move the chair while someone is sitting in it.
Failure to observe this point may cause the chair to tip over, possibly resulting in personal
injury.
Use the casters to move the chair.
• Do not attempt to move the chair by lifting from the front (right illustration). The correct way
to move the chair is by putting your foot on the caster and pushing down from behind the
chair (left illustration).
• It is easier to move the chair if the massage heads have been moved to their resting
positions and the backrest reclined.
• Moving the chair may damage easily marked floor surfaces; therefore, place a mat or
cloth on the floor and move the chair slowly.
• Before pushing down the chair, prepare yourself for its weight and exercise caution when
moving it.

BEFORE SITTING DOWN
PLACE OF USE
TURNING ON THE POWER
BEFORE USE
• Do not use the massage lounger where it will be exposed to direct sunlight for long periods of time.
Overexposure to harsh light can discolor or harden the cover.
• Do not use the massage lounger in hot or humid places or places where it may become wet from rain,
splashing or dripping water, etc. Water and heat can cause discoloring and mildew.
NOTE:
Position the chair at least 16 in. (40 cm) away from any wall or other obstacle to ensure adequate reclining
space.
First read and familiarize yourself with the safety precautions.
1. Plug the power cord into the inlet located at the rear of the chair.
2. Plug the power cord into an AC outlet.
NOTE:
Be careful not to pinch the cord under the leg frames of the chair or any other objects.
3. Using a flat head screwdriver or similar object, insert into the lock
switch and turn to “open”.
4. Move the power switch to “on”.
• When the operating lock switch is pointing toward “lock”, the power
switch cannot be moved to the “on” position.
After each use
• Be sure to turn the power switch to “off”.
• To prevent children from using this unit, lock the power switch by
moving the operating lock switch to the “lock” position.
• As a further precaution, unplug the power cord from the outlet after
each use.
Do not exceed the maximum user weight of 264 lbs. (120 kg).
Before sitting down, you must first check the position of the massage
heads with your hands.
• The massage heads should be spread apart near the top of the
massage lounger backrest in the resting position.
• If the massage heads are not in their resting position, do not sit down in
the massage lounger. Press the “on/off” button on the controller twice.
Wait for the massage heads to reach the resting position before sitting
down.
After making sure the massage heads are in the resting position, sit
down slowly in the center of the massage lounger.

RECLINING THE CHAIR
HOW TO EXTEND THE LEGREST MANUALLY
By using the reclining button on the controller, the legrest can be raised and lowered automatically in concert
with the movement of the massage lounger’s backrest.
• To avoid possible tipping of the chair, do not sit or lean on the backrest while chair back is in a reclined
position.
• The angle of the chair back can be changed so that the body weight and the massage heads will work
together to determine the strength of the massage.
• Try changing the angle of the chair back to find a comfortable massage of a strength that is most suitable for
you. The more you recline, the more intense the massage will feel. Adding or removing the cushion insert
pad will also increase the intensity.
NOTE:
Position the chair at least 16 in. (40 cm) away from any wall or other obstacle to ensure adequate reclining space.
To extend: Press and hold the button.
• While the button is pressed and held, the
legrest will extend and the backrest will
recline.
• Release the button when the desired position
has been reached.
To lower: Press and hold the button.
• The legrest will be returned to its resting position and the backrest will be raised.
• To obtain the maximum benefit from the massage, let your body relax and recline in a comfortable manner.
NOTE:
After use, always be sure to return the legrest and backrest to their resting positions (legrest lowered and
backrest raised).
By using the legrest lever on the side of the massage lounger, the legrest can be raised and lowered
independently from the chair back.
To extend: Pull the lever back.
• Pull the lever back as far as it will go (until
the lock catches).
• The legrest can be raised to 90°.
To lower: Push forward on the lever.
• When extending or lowering the legrest, lift
your legs off of the legrest and operate the
lever.
• The legrest cannot be lowered completely
if the massage lounger’s backrest is not
raised completely. (The same condition
occurs for lever operation.)
• The legrest will be locked in position when
it is raised using the legrest lever;
therefore, the legrest cannot be lowered
using the reclining button on the controller.
Always use the legrest lever to lower the
legrest if it has been raised by the legrest lever.
NOTE:
• When lowering the legrest, keep children and pets away from the massage lounger to prevent injury.
• Be aware that during powered reclining the legrest lever will move automatically.

BACK CUSHION AND HEADREST
CUSHION INSERT PAD
• Fasten the back cushion to the chair and the headrest and insert the weighted flap through the strap
attached behind the chair.
• If you prefer a stronger massage, remove the back cushion.
• When the massage function will be used, remove the headrest or flip the headrest over the back of the chair
before starting the massage.
NOTE:
• This massage lounger is capable of providing a vigorous “shiatsu” massage. The rolling and tapping action
are very strong, and this type of massage may be too strong for people who have not previously experienced a shiatsu massage. For this reason, a foam cushion insert pad is provided to soften the effect of the
massage.
• The cushion insert pad can be removed for a full shiatsu massage, but be aware of the intensity of the
massage you will receive. The first time you try it – if you decide to – sit in a relaxed manner and do not use
it for more than two minutes. After that you should be able to decide whether or not you prefer a massage
with the pad in place.
• This pad is placed underneath the back cushion at the waist position for supporting the back and the waist,
and for overall chair comfort.
• Remove if unwanted during a massage.
