DANGER:
Improper connection

of the equipment-grounding conductor can
result in an increased risk of electric shock.
Check with a qualified electrician or service-
man if you are in doubt as to whether the
product is properly grounded. Do not modify
the plug provided with the productÑif it will
not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet
Lug
Metal Screw
installed by a qualified electrician.
This product is for use on a nominal 120-volt circuit,
and has a grounding plug that looks like the plug illus-
trated in drawing 1. A temporary adapter that looks
like the adapter illustrated in drawing 2 may be used
to connect the surge suppressor to a 2-pole
receptacle as shown in drawing 2 if a properly
grounded outlet is not available.
Your massage chair, like any other type of sophisticat-
ed electronic equipment, can be seriously damaged
by sudden voltage changes in your homeÕs power.
Voltage surges, spikes, and noise interference can
result from weather conditions or from other appli-
ances being turned on or off. To decrease the possi-
bility of your massage chair being damaged,
always use a surge suppressor with your mas-
sage chair (see drawing 1 below).
The temporary adapter should be used only until a
properly grounded outlet (drawing 1) can be installed
by a qualified electrician.
Surge suppressors are sold at most hardware stores
and department stores. Use only a single-outlet surge
suppressor that is UL 1449 listed as a transient volt-
age surge suppressor (TVSS). The surge suppressor
must have a UL suppressed voltage rating of 400
volts or less and a minimum surge dissipation of 450
joules. The surge suppressor must be electrically
rated for 120 volts AC and 15 amps.
The green-colored rigid ear, lug 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. Some 2-pole receptacle outlet
box covers are not grounded. Contact a qualified
electrician to determine if the outlet box cover is
grounded before using an adapter.
This product must be grounded. If it should mal-
function or break down, grounding provides a path of
least resistance for electric current to reduce the risk
of electric shock. This product is equipped with a cord
having an equipment-grounding conductor and a
grounding plug. Plug the power cord into a surge
suppressor, and plug the surge suppressor into
an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and
grounded in accordance with all local codes and
ordinances.
