- Before sitting in the Inversion Massage recliner, be sure it is in the complete upright position by unlocking the levers and pulling the backrest forward until it stops.
- Lock the recliner into the upright position by pulling the levers back towards your head.
- Sit in the chair, unlock levers by pushing forward and lean back slowly. Sitting all the way back in the seat will make it easier to recline. To adjust the angle of the chair, hold on to the armrests and lean back or forward until you reach the desired position. Lock the position into place by pulling the levers back towards your head.
- The footrest may be raised by pulling it upward. Each position will sound with a click. To lower the footrest, raise it until it stops and then push it back towards the floor.
- Before getting out of the Inversion Massage recliner, be sure to return it to its full upright position and lock into place.
- Stand up using the armrests for support.
Tip: To help you recline, slowly raise your hands above your head and lean back. Lock in your desired position with the easy lock levers. To sit upright, unlock the levers and move hands slowly towards your knees while leaning slightly forward. This will bring the recliner back to its full upright position.
Note: Heat only works with massage function activated
Power Adaptor Instructions
Connect the adaptor jack to the massage cushion's power receptacle located along the right side of the cushion. Once inserted, plug the other end into an AC power outlet. Use only the AC power adaptor provided with this unit.
Your massage cushion is powered by an attached custom AC home adaptor. Use only the supplied AC home adaptor as other similar-looking adaptors may cause irreparable damage to the unit and will void your warranty.
