CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

Moving the Unit
Using the Wheels to Move the Unit
• Please lift up the front of the unit when moving it by holding the pipe section on
either side of the legrest.
* Please be careful because the unit is heavy.
• It is easier to move the unit with the massage heads retracted and the backrest
in the upright position.
* Place a mat on the floor and gently roll the unit over it to avoid damaging the floor.
* Do not move the unit while someone is seated on it.
* Please remove the control panel from the control panel stand.
* Please make sure the legrest slider is fully retracted when moving the unit.
Lifting the Unit
• Move the chair by having one person hold onto the pipe sections on either side
of the legrest and another person use the handles on the back.
* Please hold the handles and legrest securely to avoid dropping the unit as it
may damage your floor.
* Please make sure the legrest slider is fully retracted when moving the unit.
CAUTION
• Do not move the unit while someone is seated on it.
• When moving the unit using the wheels, remove all obstacles
from around it, make sure the backrest is in the upright position,
lift it no higher than waist height (no higher than 32 in. (80 cm))
and roll it slowly.
Failure to do so may cause the unit to tip over, which may lead to damage
or injury.
Synthetic Leather on the Pillow, Back
Cushion and Armrests
• Wipe these areas with a soft, dry cloth. (Do NOT use
cloths containing any kind of chemical, etc.)
• If the synthetic leather is particularly dirty, soak a soft
cloth in water or a 3~5% solution of mild detergent,
wring it out thoroughly and tap the surface with it. Next,
rinse the cloth in water, wring it out thoroughly and then
wipe any remaining detergent from the surface, wipe the
surfaces with a soft dry cloth and allow them to dry
naturally.
(Do NOT use a hair dryer to try to dry the surfaces more
quickly.)

TROUBLESHOOTING

PROBLEM
Problem
Motor Noises
• It sounds and feels like the massage heads are
straining to get over wrinkles in the cloth.
• The motor groans when it comes under load.
• There is excessive noise during Tapping. (The
noise is greater at the top of the massage lounger.)
• There is a creaking noise when the massage heads
are in operation.
• There is a sound when the vibration action is
selected. (EP3203 only.)
• There is a rattling sound when the massage heads
move up or down.
• The belt can be heard rotating.
• There is a rubbing sound produced by the massage
heads rubbing on the seat fabric.
• There is a noise when the backrest cushion moves
over the armrest when the seat is reclining.
• There is a noise when I sit down.
• There is a strange sound when the massage heads
move in and out.
• When the power switch is turned on there is
a humming sound.
• Air massage-related sounds.
There is a hissing sound of air escaping.
There is a humming sound from the pump.
• The legrest rattles.
The massage heads stop during operation.
In the Self Program the button does not flash
even though it has been pushed
(i.e. it is not possible to select the Degree of Fatigue).
The massage heads do not come up to the
shoulder or neck.
The height of the left and right massage
heads is different.
The air in the seat is not being released.
Cause and Remedy
These sounds are perfectly normal and will not have
H
any effect on the operation of the unit.
If excessive force is applied to the massage heads
H
during operation, in the interests of safety the
massage heads may stop moving. If this occurs,
raise your body slightly before restarting it.
If all markings and buttons on the control panel start
to flash, which is extremely unusual, turn off the
power switch, wait for approximately 10 seconds and
then turn the power switch on again.
The cover of the control panel has not been closed
H
properly (i.e. it has to click into place).
(See Page 15)
The position of the massage heads is incorrect.
H
(See Page 12)
An alternating tapping method is employed, which
H
means that this phenomenon will naturally occur.
There is nothing wrong with the unit.
If the power cord is unplugged or there is a power
H
cut while air massage is being carried out, the air will
be trapped in the unit. The air will automatically be
released when the power cord is plugged back in
again (or when the power comes back on).
