heavy objects on it or clamp it.
If this is not observed, the power cord may become damaged and fire or electric shock may result.
Do not use the product if the power cord or power plug is damaged or if it does not fit securely into the
wall outlet.

Before using the massager, check all switches and other parts while referring to this instruction
manual to make sure they all operate correctly.
For safety, check the position of the massaging rollers before leaning slowly back on the massager.
Do not twist the body, but lean straight back on the massager, so that the massaging rollers are in
position on either side of the spine.

DANGER
WARNING
Grounding Instructions
This product must be grounded. If it should malfunction or breakdown, 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.
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
in following figure. A temporary adapter that looks like the adapter illustrated in sketch B and C may be used to connect
this plug to a 2-pole receptacle as shown in sketch B if a properly grounded outlet in not available. The temporary adapter
should be used only until a properly grounded outlet (sketch A) can be installed by a qualified electrian. The green colored
rigid ear, lug, 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 by held in place by a metal screw.
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 appliance is equipped with a PTC resetting protection device.
This is a safety feature to protect the appliance from overload. If the appliance should suddenly stop
and will not start, turn off the main switch and pull the plug off the socket outlet. Do not operate the
appliance for at least 30 minutes. Failure to turn the appliance off may result in the appliance starting
unexpectedly when the device resets.
At first, do not attempt to recline the seat deeply or lean on the back rest forcibly (until you have
become accustomed to massaging).
If the massaging force is too strong at the outset, it may result in adverse effects or injury.
Do not move the massager while a person is sitting in it.
If this is not observed, the massager may fall over and injury may occur.
Do not sit down or get up from the chair while the foot rest or seat are raised.
If this is not observed, injury may occur.
The maximum permissible weight of the user is 120 kilograms (265 lbs).
Otherwise, an accident may happen or damage to the machine may result.

CAUTION
¡Position the massager on a stable, level surface. Do not use it in
environments which are high in humidity such as bathrooms.
¡Do not release the foot rest suddenly while holding it by hand.
¡Be sure to disconnect the power plug from the wall outlet before moving the massager.
¡Be careful not to run over the power cord or the remote control with the casters.
¡If moving the massager across floor surfaces that can easily get scratched or over
matting or concrete, have two people carry it.
¡Tilt up the front and move the massager on the
casters.
¡Hold the massager by the back rest and foot rest
while moving it.
¡Leave 50 cm (19 3/4") or more of space in front
and 55 cm (21 3/4") or more of space behind the
massager so that it will not hit walls or other
objects when it is being reclined.
¡Do not set up the massager in places which are
subject to high temperatures, such as such places
which receive direct sunlight for long periods of time
and places near heating equipment.
¡Leave a distance of 1 meter (39 1/2") or more
between the massager and audio-visual equipment
such as TVs and radios, otherwise it may be affected
by interference.
¡This will help prevent the floor surface from
becoming scratched and reduce the amount of
noise during operation.
