These sounds are perfectly normal and will not have any effect on the operation of the unit.
The massage heads stop during operation.
When 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 controller 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.
The massage heads do not come up to the shoulder or neck.
If your head or your back does not contact the backrest, the shoulder position may be detected as lower than the actual
position during the shoulder checking operation. Sit on the seat in the deepest position and put your head on the backrest,
and then repeat the operations again from the start.
