If it should malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electrical current to reduce the risk of electric shock. This 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. Grounding methods: WARNING: Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of electronic shock. Check with a qualified electrician or serviceman if you are in doubt as to whether this product is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with the product ­ if it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician. This product is for use on a normal 120-volt circuit and has a grounding plug that looks like the plug illustrated in sketch (A). A temporary adapter that looks like the adapter used in sketches (B) and (C) may be used to connect this plug to a 2-pole receptacle as shown in sketch (B), if a properly grounded plug is not available. The temporary adapter should be used only until a properly grounded outlet (sketch A) can be installed by a qualified electrician. The green colored, rigid ear tab or the like extending from the adapter must be connected to a permanent ground such as a properly grounded outlet box cover. Whenever the adapter is used, it must be held in place by a metal screw. WARNING: Your chair is equipped with a thermal resetting protection device. This is an added safety feature to protect you and your massage chair from overheating. If the chair should suddenly stop and will not start, turn the main power switch, located on the back of the chair, off and do not operate the chair for at least 30 minutes. Failure to turn the chair off may result in the chair starting unexpectedly when the device cools. 7 Important Assembly Instructions and Operation 1 2 3 Place the head pillow foam insert against the pillow zipper.
