OPERATING PRECAUTIONS
WARNING: To avoid damage to the chair
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 chair. 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 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 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 160°. 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 the body and allow the massage heads to move up. 11. After each massage, slide the power switch, which is located on the back of the chair, to the �off� position and turn its lock switch to the �lock� position.

CARING FOR THE MASSAGER
� Always unplug the chair before cleaning. � If the covering becomes soiled, dampen with liquid soap and brush the surface. Wipe with a cloth dampened with water. Allow to dry naturally. If the plastic portions become soiled use lukewarm water, with liquid soap on a soft cloth, to clean the surface. � Do not use thinner, benzene or other solvent-type cleaners. Chemicals can discolor or damage the materials.
