Instructions for Use
To reduce the risk of electrocution, this appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). As a safety feature, 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 attempt to defeat this safety feature.
- Plug into a 120-volt outlet.
- To start the massage, slide the selector switch up or down for an inward or outward kneading motion. The center position is “off”.
- Neck Massage: Lie on the floor and position the mechanical kneading thumbs under your neck (See Figure A). Let the rhythmic action loosen and soothe tired muscles. For increased comfort, place the headrest under your head to help support your head and neck during massage (See Figure B).
- Back Massage: Mount the massager to your chair to relieve tension in your back. Lay the vertical straps over the top of the chair. Snap and tighten together the 2 opposing buckles located on the horizontal straps. Pull each of the hook and loop straps through the massager’s handles from the back and fasten. Adjust the height of the massager by pulling up or down on the vertical straps (See Figure C). Note: Strapping system fits most chairs, but may not fit over-stuffed or large frames.
- Arm or Foot Massage: Place the massager on the floor or other hard surface and rest your arm or foot between the mechanical kneading thumbs (See Figures D & E). Large, rubberized handles provide a comfortable grip for use alone or with a partner (See Figure F).
Auto-Spacing FeatureThe spacing between the mechanical kneading thumbs can be adjusted to fit various body frames and areas. Make sure the power is turned on and rotate the dial located on the top of the massager to the left to narrow the space between the kneading thumbs and to the right to widen it (See Figure G).
WARNINGDo not jam or force any part of your body (i.e. hands, neck, feet, etc..) between the unit’s dual massaging “heads”. 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. Test unit force before using on yourself or on a companion.
