    IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
    Basic precautions should always be followed when using an electrical unit, including the following.
    Please ensure that you read all instructions before using the Household Massage Lounger.
    DANGER – To reduce the risk of electric shock: 
      1. Always unplug the unit immediately after use.
      2. Always unplug the unit before cleaning.
    WARNING – To reduce the risk of burns, fire, electric shock, or injury to persons:
      1. Always insert the power plug all the way into the outlet to reduce the risk of short-circuit and fire.
      2. The unit should never be left unattended when plugged in.  Always unplug the unit when not in use.
      3. Close and continuous supervision is necessary when the unit is used by people who are limited in their ability to 
    move or communicate. 
      4. Only use the unit for the purpose described in these instructions.
      5. Do not stand on the unit.
      6. Do not use any accessories other than those recommended by the manufacturer.
      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.
    12. Never block the air openings during operation and make sure that all air openings are kept free of lint and hair, etc.  
    Do not drop or insert anything into any of the openings of the unit.  
    13. Do not use the unit in bathrooms or other damp or humid places as this may cause electric shock or cause the 
    unit to malfunction.  Do not spill water, etc. onto the control panel.  
    14. Do not use the unit outdoors.
    15. Do not use the unit in places where aerosol spray products are in use or where oxygen is being used.  
    16. When unplugging the unit, turn off all controls before removing the plug from power outlet.  Do not use the unit 
    with a transformer as this may lead to malfunction or electric shock. 
    17. Connect this unit to a properly grounded outlet only.  See Grounding Instructions.
    18. To avoid electric shock or injury, do not attempt to open or disassemble any part of the unit as it contains no 
    user-serviceable parts.

    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.

    CAUTION
    • Do not use the unit in areas with high humidity, 
    such as the bathroom, etc. as this can lead to 
    electric shock or other accidents.
    • Place the unit on a totally flat surface.
    Failure to do so may result in the seat tipping over.
    • Do not use the massage lounger in direct sunlight or in 
    places where it will be exposed to high temperatures, 
    such as in front of a heater, etc., as this can cause 
    discoloration or hardening of the synthetic leather.
    • Place the unit on a mat to prevent floor damage.
    • When placing a mat under the unit, the size of the mat 
    should be sufficient (at least 47#28 in. (120#70 cm)) to 
    cover the areas where the unit touches and the legrest 
    could touch the floor, as shown in the diagram on the left.
    Move the chair by having one person hold onto the rubber 
    section on the underside of the legrest and another person 
    use the handle on the back of the backrest.  
    Carrying in the Unit  
    CAUTION
    • Make certain the legrest has been retracted fully 
    to its original length.  
    Failure to observe this safeguard could result in injury 
    due to the legrest returning to its original length 
    when the unit is being moved.  
    • Use care to prevent pinching of hands or feet when letting 
    go of the legrest as its mechanism will cause it to slam shut.
    • Use care to prevent lower back and other injuries that 
    could occur when lifting this heavy object (approx. 179 
    lbs (81 kg)).
