7. This unit should not be used by children. Keep children away from the unit. Always return the seat to the upright position and retract the legrest completely to avoid possible injury. Make sure that nothing is in the way when retracting the legrest. Remove key when not in use and store out of reach of children.
8. Never operate the unit if it has a damaged power cord or plug. Return the unit to the nearest authorized service center if it is not working properly, if it has been dropped or damaged, or if it has been immersed in water.
9. Always raise the back cushion to check that the fabric of the unit itself has not been ripped before using the unit. Please also check other areas to ensure that the fabric has not been ripped. No matter how small the rip, if you find one then immediately stop using the unit, unplug the power cord and have the unit repaired at an authorized service center.
10. Keep power cords away from heated surfaces. Do not carry the unit by the power cord. Do not allow pins, rubbish or moisture to come into contact with the plug.
11. Do not use the unit on top of heating appliances, such as electric carpets, etc. Do not operate the unit under blanket or pillow. Excessive heating can occur and cause fire, electric shock, or injury to persons.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
WARNING: To avoid the risk of injury:
1. Persons with any of the conditions listed below or who are undergoing medical treatment should consult with their physicians before using the unit: a) Pregnant women, people who are ill, in poor physical shape. b) People suffering from back, neck, shoulder, or hip pain. c) People who have a pacemaker, defibrillator, or other personal medical devices prone to electronic interference. d) People suffering from heart disease. e) People who are prohibited from receiving massage by a physician due to thrombosis or aneurism, acute
varicose veins, or other circulatory disorders.
f) People with irregular curvatures of the spine.
2. Sit down slowly after checking the position of the massage heads. Never put any part of your body between the massage heads as the squeezing action of the massage heads may cause injury. Never put your fingers or feet in the gap between the backrest and seat, the backrest and the armrest, the seat and cover under the armrest, or the gap between the legrest and the footrest. Do not place your fingers or any part of your body in the mechanism below the legrest, or between the legrest and footrest.
3. Do not use the unit against bare skin. While thin clothing may increase effectiveness, exposing the skin directly to the massager may irritate the skin. Do not use the unit while wearing anything hard on your head like a hair accessory, etc. Do not use the unit for massaging the head, abdomen, front neck, elbows or knees. Do not use excessively strong massage action on the back of the neck.
4. When using the body scanning function, always ensure that the shoulder position is correct. If the shoulder position is not correct, use the Roller Position button to adjust it properly. You can adjust the shoulder position in this way in the pre-programs, self program and Rolling in the manual operation. Failure to align the shoulder position correctly can lead to injury.
5. Do not stretch the back muscles for more than approximately 15 minutes at a time. To avoid overstretching the muscles which may result in discomfort, do not use the unit for more than 5 minutes when first using it. You can gradually increase the duration and strength of the massage as you become used to it. Do not massage any one point for more 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 each session. After approximately 15 minutes, the massage heads will be retracted and stop moving. The back cushion can be removed if you want to experience a stronger back massage. Exercise extreme care when you use this mode in order to avoid back pain or injury. Use only for short periods of time (no more than 15 minutes). Reinstall the back cushion if you want to restore to normal massage intensity.
6. While using the massager, if you start feeling sick or if the massage seems painful, stop using it immediately. While using the massager, if the pressure seems too strong, the movement of the massage heads can be stopped at any time by pressing the Quick Stop button.
7. Do not go to sleep while using the unit. Do not use the unit after drinking alcohol.
8. When the seat 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 as the unit may fall over.
9. Do not allow children or pets to play on or around the unit, especially during operation.
10. Do not unplug the unit or turn it off during operation. Unplug the unit immediately if there is a power outage.
11. Be sure to start on the gentle massage program if using the massager for the first time. The shiatsu massage is stronger and should be enjoyed after one has gotten accustomed to the chair.
12. Do not allow children to play on this mechanized furniture or operate the mechanism. Legrest folds down on closing so that a child could possibly be injured. Always leave in an upright and closed position. Keep hands and feet clear of mechanism. Only the occupant should operate it.
13. Remove hard objects, such as false fingernails, wristwatches or rings, when massaging hands or arms. Empty pockets of hard objects when massaging the area of the seat or thighs.

OPERATING PRECAUTIONS
WARNING: To avoid damaging the chair, follow these precautions:
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 unit. 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 control panel. Do not pull the control panel cord or the power cord. Be careful not to catch the cord of the control panel between the armrest and the chair back.
3. Do not treat the chair roughly, such as 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, lit
cigarettes 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 170°. 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 a case, slightly raise your body and allow the massage heads to move up.
11. After each massage, slide the power switch, which is located on the right side of the chair, to the “off” position and turn its lock switch to the “lock” position.
12. Do not sit on the chair with wet body or hair.
13. The unit must not be used in “wet rooms” (sauna, swimming pool) or outdoors.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This product must be grounded. If it should malfunction or break down, grounding provides a 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 or serviceman if you are in doubt as to whether the 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 Figure A. Make sure that the product is connected to an outlet having the same configuration as the plug. No adapter should be used with this product.

Order of Massage for Upper Body
About the Time Settings in Self Program
• The type and duration of massage actions in self program are determined according to different areas of the body based on the time settings.

When the Time Setting is Zero
• An area of the body set at zero will not receive any massage. In the case of the upper body, however, the massage heads may travel over that area as they move to the next massage area.
• The upper body will not receive any massage when all settings for the upper back, lower back, and neck and shoulders are at zero.
Order of Massage for Hands/Arms and Lower Body
• Massaged in order of lower body then hands and arms, regardless of time settings.

The pre-program massages were created based on massages practiced by professional massage therapists in accordance with the aim of each program. The user memory function preserves the basic massage actions of these programs and allows them to be used as a base upon which to build personalized massages. For this reason, the maximum number of repeated actions that may be recorded is eight, so that a massage cannot be focused on one area of the body. Please use either the self program or manual operation when you want a massage that focuses on a particular area of the body.

How to Get the Most Out of Your Massage Lounger
(1) Start with a rolling massage only to allow your body to get used to the massage lounger. (2) Next use a kneading or tapping massage in areas surrounding stiff muscles. (3) Finish with a rolling massage to stretch your spine again.
About Massage Strength Adjustments
• For the purposes of safety, limits have been set on the maximum degree to which the massage heads can protrude into the back during an upper body massage. For this reason, the levels to which massage strength can be adjusted are dependent on the area of the back being massaged and the type of massage action being used.
• When massage actions are combined, massage strength is adjustable to the level of the selected massage action with the lowest strength level.
• When combined with lateral movement, Compression A is adjustable to strength level 2 and other massage actions are adjustable up to strength level 3.
Rolling Massage
• When a massage is being carried out over a wide area, if Roll is selected, then the width of the massage will automatically be reduced before the Roll massage begins.
Upper Body Massage Adjustment
• The scope of the massage heads depending on the type of massage selected is shown below.
(1) After the seat, thighs and the whole of the legs
have been grasped by the airbags, they are given a light stretch as the legrest lowers approximately 10 degrees.
(2) The legrest rises to its starting
position, after which it lowers again, but this time approximately 20 degrees for a deep stretch.
(3) The legrest returns to
its original angle.
Points where rolling massage can be carried out up and down the back.

CAUTION
• Do not move the unit while someone is seated on it. Do not place objects on or sit, climb, or stand on the legrest.
• When moving the unit using the wheels, remove all obstacles from around it, make sure the backrest is in the upright position, lift it no higher than waist height (no higher than 31 in. (80 cm)) and roll it slowly.
Failure to do so may cause the unit to tip over, which may lead to damage or injury.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
• Wipe these areas with a soft, dry cloth. (Do NOT use cloths containing any kind of chemical, etc.)
• If the synthetic leather is particularly dirty, soak a soft cloth in water or a 3~5% solution of mild detergent, wring it out thoroughly and tap the surface with it. Next, rinse the cloth in water, wring it out thoroughly and then wipe any remaining detergent from the surface, wipe the surfaces with a soft dry cloth and allow them to dry naturally.
(Do NOT use a hair dryer to try to dry the surfaces more quickly.)
• Do not allow these areas to come in contact with plastic for extended periods of time as this may lead to discoloration.

ABOUT THE BODY SCANNING FUNCTION
Body Scanning
(1) As the electronic tone that accompanies the body search function sounds,
the massage heads will rise up the back until they reach the area behind the neck.
(2) The massage heads will tilt forward so that they are positioned over the
shoulders. (If the shoulder position is incorrect the massage heads will rise again and then repeat the shoulder alignment movement.)
(3) The massage heads will descend to the level of the shoulders.
(4) A soft tapping massage is performed at the level of the shoulders, which
lasts for approximately 15 seconds.
Additional Information
Pressure Feedback Function
The strength of the massage (pressure level) is automatically adjusted if it is too much or too little.
• The standard body pressure level varies according to the strength of the program selected.
• If you lift your back or stand up in the middle of a massage, the body pressure level detected will be zero thus causing the massage to finish.
Pressure Feedback in Shoulder Area
• When a massage program is used, the body pressure level at the top of the shoulders is detected just before the start of a massage at the top of the shoulders. If the body pressure level is different from that of the previous massage a soft tapping massage will begin.
When the Body Scanning Function is Not Completed Successfully
• A recorded voice message will announce, “In the interests of safety, the massage will now finish because an occupant could not be detected in the chair.” during the body scanning.
This may occur in the following situations:
1. Pressure against the backrest cannot be detected because no one is sitting in the chair.
2. Pressure against the backrest cannot be detected because the occupant’s head and back are not
touching the backrest.
3. Pressure against the backrest cannot be detected because the occupant is wearing heavy clothing or an
object such as a cushion has been placed between the occupant’s back and the backrest.
Sit as far back in the seat with your head on the pillow and press again to start the body scanning.
When the Soft Tapping Massage Does Not Start
• If the body scanning is performed at the highest height, it will stop for a few seconds and the soft tapping massage will not be carried out.
To adjust the shoulder position, do so after the massage has begun.
When Changing the Occupant in the Middle of a Massage
• Press once to finish the massage then start again as the shoulder position will change.

TROUBLESHOOTING
PROBLEM
Problem
Motor Noises
• It sounds and feels like the massage heads are straining to get over wrinkles in the cloth.
• The motor groans when it comes under load.
• There is excessive noise during Tapping. (The noise is greater at the top of the massage lounger.)
• There is a creaking noise when the massage heads are in operation.
• There is a sound when the vibration action is selected.
• There is a rattling sound when the massage heads move up or down.
• The belt can be heard rotating.
• There is a rubbing sound produced by the massage heads rubbing on the seat fabric.
• There is a noise when the back cushion moves over the armrest when the seat is reclining.
• There is a noise when I sit down.
• There is a strange sound when the massage heads move in and out.
• When the power switch is turned on there is a humming sound.
• Air massage-related sounds.
There is a hissing sound of air escaping. There is a humming sound from the pump.
• The legrest rattles.
• There is an unstable sound when air escapes during the leg stretch.
The massage heads stop during operation. If excessive force is applied to the massage heads
during operation, in the interests of safety the massage heads may stop moving. If all markings and buttons on the control panel start to flash, which is extremely unusual, turn off the power switch, wait for approximately 10 seconds and then turn the power switch on again. If the massage heads stop again, position yourself so that your back is not completely in contact with the backrest.
These sounds are perfectly normal and will not have any effect on the operation of the unit.
Cause and Remedy
It is not possible to recline the unit. The legrest cannot be raised or lowered.
If the unit encounters an obstacle or if excessive force is exerted on it during operation, in the interests of safety the unit will come to a stop. If all markings and buttons on the control panel start to flash, which is extremely unusual, turn off the power switch, wait for approximately 10 seconds and then turn the power switch on again.
The massage heads do not come up to the shoulder or neck.
The position of the massage heads is incorrect.
(See Page 16)
The height of the left and right massage heads is different.
An alternating tapping method is employed, which means that this phenomenon will naturally occur. There is nothing wrong with the unit.
The air in the seat is not being released. If the power cord is unplugged or there is a power
outage while air massage is being carried out, the air will be trapped in the unit. The air will automatically be released when the power cord is plugged back in again (or when the power comes back on).

Problem
Reclining does not take place even though a massage is started in pre-programs. (The seat does not automatically recline.)
In some cases the seat may not automatically recline depending on the position (angle) of the backrest or the legrest.
Cause and Remedy
The backrest does not return to the upright position.
The backrest will not return to the upright position if the timer is activated or the button is pressed. (Pressing twice will return the backrest to its original position.)
The legrest does not go down. The legrest will not go down properly if the legrest
slide has been extended. Try again after retracting it.
The unit has been damaged.
