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, and place the included black plug into the hole that was left by
the screw.
Warning - Failure to remove screw may cause
permanent damage to the massage cushion.
Connect the adaptor to the unit by plugging the input jack into the
output jack, making sure to match the top side of each jack (
see Fig. 1

Then plug the adaptor into a 120 volt AC outlet. Attach the cushion to
most chairs for a luxurious massage as you read, rest or even work.
See pages 6-7 for instructions on the use of the hand control.
