INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE

CAUTION: To avoid pinching, DO NOT lean on the back massage mechanism in the cushion when adjusting your body position. DO NOT jam or force any part of your body in the moving massage mechanism.

The unit comes with a screw located on the back of the unit to protect the massage mechanism during shipment, which must be removed before the first use to allow the massage feature to function. Use the provided Allen wrench. Then, properly dispose of the screw. WARNING: Failure to remove screw may cause permanent damage to the massage cushion.

To reduce the risk of electric shock, this unit is equipped with a polarized plug (one blade wider than the other). This plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to install the proper outlet. DO NOT change the plug in any way.

NOTE: For your safety, this unit is equipped with a 15-minute auto-off feature.

1. Untie cord strap, extend cord, and insert plug into a 120-volt household electrical outlet to power the unit.
2. Attach the cushion to most chairs for a luxurious massage as you read, rest, or even work. See pages 7 for instructions on the use of the hand control.

STRAPPING SYSTEM

The massage cushion incorporates a unique strapping system that allows you to fasten it to almost any chair. Just slip the straps over the seat or chair and adjust fastening straps to secure.

MAINTENANCE

• TO CLEAN
  Unplug the unit and allow it to cool before cleaning. Clean only with a soft, slightly damp sponge. NEVER allow water or any other liquids to come into contact with the unit.

  • DO NOT immerse in any liquid to clean.
  • NEVER use abrasive cleaners, brushes, or strong chemicals that may or may not be flammable and/or damaging to the product to clean.
  • DO NOT attempt to repair the massager. There are no user-serviceable parts. For service, contact Consumer Relations at the telephone number listed in the Warranty section.

• TO STORE
  Place massager in its box or in a safe, cool, dry place. Avoid contact with sharp edges or pointed objects that might cut or puncture the fabric surface. To avoid breakage, DO NOT wrap the power cord around the unit.

NOTE: NOT recommended for use on wooden surfaces as the zipper may damage the wood. Caution is also recommended when using on upholstered furniture.

NOTE: Only gentle force should be exerted against the unit in order to eliminate any/all risk of injury. You may soften massage force by placing a towel between yourself and the unit.

NOTE: The moving massage mechanism always “parks” or finishes in its lowest position. It will continue to this position after the power has been turned off. If the electrical supply is interrupted, when power is restored, the mechanism will “park” or move to its lowest position.
