careful not to catch the cord of the controller between the arm rest and the chair back.
3. Do not treat the chair roughly, such as forcing the reclining lever, turning the chair on its
side, turning the chair over or standing on it.
4. Do nat 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 servicenter.
6. Do not attempt to repair the massager yourself.
7. Do not repeatedly operate any switch at short intervals. It 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. This is a normal condition.
9. Make sure that there are no obstacles behind the chair when reclining it. The chair can
be reclined to a maximum angle of 160°. If the back hits a wall or pillar, it may

safety. When moving the heads up from the lowered position, the body weight may
stop the heads movement. In such case, slightly raise the body and allow the heads to
move up.
11. After each massage, slide the power switch which is located on the side of the chair to
"off" position and turn its lock switch to "lock" position.
