Instructions for Use

The Foldable Shiatsu and Vibration Massaging Cushion 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 shiatsu feature to function. Use the provided allen wrench. Then, properly dispose of the screw.

The actual product materials and fabrics may vary from the picture shown.

Failure to remove screw may cause permanent damage to the massage cushion.

To reduce the risk of electric shock, this appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is 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.

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

NOTE: When "POWER" button is pressed for first-time use, the moving shiatsu mechanism will automatically move to the lowest position before starting a massage program. After initial use, mechanism will always park at lowest position. See note below regarding parking.

NOTE: The moving Shiatsu 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.

Please 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.

Strapping System
The Foldable Shiatsu and Vibration Massaging Cushion incorporates a unique strapping system which allows you to fasten it to almost any chair. Just slip the straps over the seat or chair and adjust fastening straps to secure. Your massager won't slip or slide away.
