5. Do not use any accessories other than those recommended by the manufacturer.

6. This unit should not be used by children. Keep children away from the unit. Remove the key when not in use and store it out of the reach of children.

7. Never operate the unit if it has a damaged power cord or plug. Return the unit to the nearest authorized service centre if it is not working properly, if it has been dropped or damaged, or if it has been immersed in water.

8. Always raise the comfort 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 centre.

9. Keep power cords away from heated surfaces. Do not carry the unit by the power cord. Take care that pins, rubbish and moisture do not come into contact with the plug. (Wipe off dust using a dry cloth.)

10. Do not operate the unit under a blanket or pillow. Excessive heating can occur and cause fire, electric shock, or injury to persons.

f) People with irregular curvatures of the spine.

g) People who have a loss of heat sensation.

2. Make sure that no part of your body is between the massage heads as their squeezing action may cause injury. Your fingers, feet and head should not be put in the gap between the backrest and the seat, the backrest and the armrest, the seat and the cover under the armrest, the legrest and the footrest, the back cover and the leg cover, and the back side of the legrest.

3. The unit should not be used against bare skin. While thin clothing may increase effectiveness, exposing the skin directly to the unit may irritate the skin.

Avoid wearing anything hard on your head like a hair accessory, etc. when using this unit.

Excessively strong massage action should be avoided on the back of the neck.

4. Avoid massaging any one part of your body for more than 5 minutes at a time.

Excessive massaging can overstimulate the muscles and nerves and result in an adverse effect or injury.

The unit should not be used for more than a total of 16 minutes each session to avoid excessive massaging.

5. While using the unit, if you start feeling sick or if the massage seems painful, stop using it immediately.

6. You should not fall asleep while using the unit or use the unit after drinking alcohol.

7. Do not sit on the unit when the backrest is reclined.

Do not sit on the unit the wrong way around (with your legs on the headrest) when the backrest is reclined.

Sitting on the legrest may cause the unit to fall over.

8. Be sure to start on the gentle massage programme if using the unit for the first time.

9. If the unit functions abnormally, immediately turn off the power and have the unit checked by an authorized service centre.

10. Avoid attempting to repair the unit yourself.

11. Make sure there are no obstacles behind the unit before reclining it. If the back hits a wall or pillar, the unit may malfunction. Be sure to have ample space behind the unit.

12. After each massage, slide the power switch to the “off” position, turn the lock switch to the “lock” position and remove the key and power plug.

13. Be sure to fix the pillow on the back cushion for safe use.

Failure to do so may result in entangling your hair in the fastener, harm to your skin, or damage to your clothes.

14. Confirm that the shoulder position is correct when body scanning is performed. If it is not properly aligned, use the

POSITION button to adjust the shoulder position, or stop the massage and perform the body scanning again.

(For Automatic programmes or Manual Operation)

15. People with any of the conditions listed below should not use the Pelvis stretch:

1) People suffering from acute lumbago, spinal disc herniation, or misalignment of the vertebrae

2) People with hip joint problems such as hip osteoarthritis

16. Sit on the unit after confirming there is no foreign matter between the parts of the unit. (Confirm that there are no foreign objects stuck in the back cushion, legrest or hand/arm massage section.)

Sit down and ensure that the legrest is properly locked in place.

Failure to observe this precaution may result in accident or injury.

17. Remove hard objects, such as false fingernails, wristwatches or rings, when massaging hands or arms.

Do not massage with any hard objects in your pants pocket.

18. Store the attachment screws out of reach of children.

Accidental ingestion may occur.

19. Do not stand, jump on, or place objects on the seat until the air is completely extracted for the air massage.

20. When “Heat” massage heads are used, do not let the massage heads touch the same place for a long time.

Low-temperature burn may occur.

21. Do not pull on the legrest rotation lock release lever while sitting in the chair with your feet on the legrest.

Accidents or injuries may occur.

22. Do not drag or push the unit in an installed state.

Protect your floor (place a mat or similar) when moving the unit on its wheels to avoid damage to your floor.

23. Do not hold on the legrest leg/sole massage section when moving the unit.

If this is not observed, the section may slide as you move the unit, and injuries may occur.

OPERATING PRECAUTIONS

WARNING

- To avoid damaging the chair, follow these precautions:

1. The chair is designed for a maximum user weight of 120 k g. 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 controller. Do not pull the controller cord or the power cord. Be careful not to catch the cord of the controller between the armrest and the back of the chair.

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 colour of the covering.

5. If the massager functions abnormally, immediately turn off the power and have the massager checked by an authorized service centre.

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.

14. Place the unit on a totally flat surface.

Failure to do so may result in the unit tipping over.

15. Do not drag or push the unit in an installed state.

Protect your floor (place a mat or similar) when moving the unit on its wheels to avoid damage to your floor.

16. Always hold the power plug, not the power cord, when unplugging it from an socket.

Failure to observe this precaution may result in electric shock or short-circuit.

GB4

GB5

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

The unit must be properly grounded. If it should malfunction or break down, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric current in order to reduce the risk of electric shock.

This unit is equipped with a cord with an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an appropriate socket that has been properly installed in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.

DANGER

Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor may lead to electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician if you are in doubt as to whether or not the unit is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with the unit if it will not fit the power socket. Instead, have a proper socket installed by a qualified electrician.

This unit has a grounding plug. Make sure that the product is connected to a power socket with the same configuration as the plug. Do not use an adaptor with this unit.

Troubleshooting

Problem

Cause and Remedy

Motor Noises

• It sounds and feels like the massage heads are straining to get over wrinkles in the cloth.

• There is operational noise of kneading or tapping actions.

• There is a creaking noise when the massage heads are in operation.

• There is a rattling sound when the massage heads move up or down.

• The belt can be heard rotating.

• The motor groans when it comes under load.

• There is a strange sound when the massage heads move in and out.

• There is a noise when I sit down.

• There is a noise when the comfort cushion moves over the armrest when the seat is reclining.

• There is a rubbing sound produced by the massage heads rubbing on the seat fabric.

• There is a noise of discharging air.

• There is operational noise when applying air pressure.

• The legrest rattles.

• There is a humming sound from the pump.

• There is operational noise of valves under the seat.

• There is an unstable sound when air escapes during the leg stretch.

These sounds are perfectly normal and will not have any effect on the operation of the unit.

The massage heads stop during operation.

(All the displays and buttons on the controller will flash and then turn off.)

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 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. (Caution should be exercised particularly when used by persons weighing 100 k g or more.)

It is not possible to recline the unit.

The legrest cannot be raised or lowered.

(All the displays and buttons on the controller will flash and then turn off.)

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.

When all displays and buttons are flashing and the backrest or the legrest has stopped, turn off the power of the unit once, turn

“on” the power again after approximately 10 seconds, and then operate the unit.

The massage heads do not come up to the shoulder or neck.

If your head does not contact with the pillow or your back does not contact with the backrest, the shoulder position may be detected as lower than the actual position during the body scanning. Sit on the seat in the deepest position and put your head on the pillow, and then repeat the operations again from the start. (See page GB21.)

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.

Problem

Cause and Remedy

“Heat” massage heads do not get warm.

• button is set to Off.

• Sense of warmth from the massage heads will differ depending on your body shape, massage area, massage action, clothing, and ambient temperature.

The “Heat” massage heads do not cool down even after the “Heat” massage heads setting is turned off.

• Because of the structure of the heater, the “Heat” massage heads will feel warm for a while after heating due to the residual heat.

• The temperature you feel may rise when you massage the same area for a long time even if the “Heat” massage heads setting is set to Off.

Reclining does not take place even though a massage is started in pre-programmes.

(The backrest does not automatically recline.)

Automatic reclining will not activate when the backrest is reclined to flat position more than massage position and legrest is in upper position.

The backrest does not return to the upright position.

If the unit is stopped by automatic shut-off or by pressing the button, it will not return automatically.

(To return from the reclined position to the original position, press the button twice.)

The unit will not operate at all.

• Upper body (neck to lower back) massage

• Lower body massage

• Arm massage

• The power cord has been disconnected.

• The power switch on the unit has not been turned on.

• An Automatic programme button or Manual Operation button hasn’t been pressed after pressing .

It is not possible to massage hands and arms.

The air plug on the armrest is disconnected.

Sometimes the power won’t turn on when is pressed again when a massage has finished.
