Instructions for Use

The Shiatsu⁺ 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 unit to function properly. 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: There is a 15-minute auto shut off on the unit for your safety.

Strapping System
The Shiatsu⁺ 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.

To avoid pinching do not lean on the dual 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.

Do Not use Spot Shiatsu with heat for the back in one area for more than 3 minutes.

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.
