OPERATING PRECAUTIONS
WARNING: To avoid damaging the chair, follow these precautions:
1. The chair is designed for a maximum user weight of 264ibs (120kg). 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 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.
