Grounding Instructions

This product must be grounded. Grounding provides a path of least resistance for electrical current to reduce the risk of electric shock in case of malfunction or breakdown. The product is equipped with a cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.

DANGER: Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician or serviceman if you are in doubt. Do not modify the plug; if it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

The product is for use on a nominal 120-volt circuit and has a grounding plug as illustrated in sketch (A). A temporary adapter (sketches B and C) may be used to connect this plug to a 2-pole receptacle if a properly grounded plug is not available. The adapter should only be used until a properly grounded outlet can be installed. The green-colored tab extending from the adapter must be connected to a permanent ground, such as a properly grounded outlet box cover, and held in place by a metal screw.

Grounding Methods Illustration:

• Diagram A shows a grounded outlet with a grounding pin on the plug.
• Diagram B shows a two-pole receptacle.
• Diagram C shows a temporary adapter with a grounding tab that connects to a metal screw on a grounded outlet box.

The use of a temporary adapter is not permitted in Canada.

Get Ready: Setting Up Your Recliner

Setting up your Human Touch Massage Recliner is easy. Just slide the backrest onto the chair base, connect the two, attach the backrest pad, and you're done!

Unpack the Box

Identify the main components: Chair Base, Backrest, and Backrest pad.

Step 1: Attach the Backrest to the Chair Base

IMPORTANT: This step requires two people to prevent injury and/or damage to the backrest.

1. Using two people, lift the backrest into position on top of the chair base, aligning the track on the sides of the backrest with the brackets on the chair base.
2. Lower the tracks on the sides of the backrest carefully onto both brackets simultaneously, keeping the backrest level, until the backrest clicks into place.

Step 2: Attach the Backrest Pad

Zip the backrest pad to the backrest.

Step 3: Plug the Backrest into the Chair Base

Plug the backrest cable into the receptacle located at the rear lower corner of the chair base. Using the provided Allen wrench and Allen screw, install the screw into the hole in the connector housing to secure the connectors together.

Step 4: Plug the Power Cord into an Appropriate Power Source

Connect the power cord to a suitable electrical outlet.

Take a Seat: Operating Your Recliner

Using your Human Touch massage chair is easy. Just take a seat and recline to the desired position. Your Human Touch massage chair helps you feel better, using a wide variety of massage techniques that you control. It's the perfect way to relax and refresh.

Reclining the Chair

Use the remote control recline button [Recline Button] to recline the backrest and deploy the footrest to the desired position.

Raising the Backrest

Use the remote control incline button [Incline Button] to raise the backrest and retract the footrest.

Warning: Do not inhibit the backrest or footrest from power reclining or inclining. Do not attempt to manually recline or incline the backrest or footrest. Interfering with the power recline will permanently damage the chair.

Take Control: Customizing Your Massage

Now choose a massage technique. Your Human Touch massage chair lets you customize your massage using a wide variety of techniques. Choose from stationary massage techniques and a rolling massage, or combine them. Use the Range button to tailor your vertical massage range, or the Zone and Position buttons to target your massage to a specific area. Alternatively, let the chair take control by selecting one of the six auto programs, which alternate massage techniques and target different areas of your back. Human Touch Technology offers maximum massage flexibility and refreshing benefits.
