ERGO-PROTM MASSAGE CHAIR OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS

(REV.10/07)

FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS TO SET-UP.

REVIEW PHOTOS 1 & 2 and 3 TO LEARN THE COMPONENTS OF THE ERGO-PROTM.

FOLLOW THESE STEPS IN SEQUENCE TO ASSURE PROPER SET-UP AND ADJUSTMENT.

STEP 1: OPENING THE ERGO-PROTM.

Photo 5

A. Release the bungee that is holding the chair closed by pulling out and down on the ball found in

the center of the rear support plate. See Photo 4.

B. Grasp the chest plate hand hole with one hand and lift the

bottom of the seat from the back with the other hand. The chair

may open slowly the first few times. See Photo 3

After the chair is fully opened, the two locking buttons found

beneath the seat on the center support will click into position.

See Photo 9. Simply check that this has happened, that the

knee rests are firmly in place, and did not come loose from

shipping or handling.

C. Now set up the rest of the chair from the top down. It is as easy

as 1, 2, 3.

Face Rest

Cam Lever 1. Flip the face rest cam lever to the unlocked position and set the

face rest to a comfortable position, then flip the cam lever to the

locked position, see Photo 6. Be sure that the teeth of the plastic

locking disks on the face rest are fully engaged. The crescent face

rest pad is shipped off the base plate and can now be installed by

attaching the VelcroTM on the pad to the VelcroTM on the base.

2. Raise the chest support cam lever

(Photo 7) and adjust the chest

support to a comfortable position.

Then push down on the cam lever to

the locked position.

3. Flip the arm support cam lever to the unlocked

position and adjust the arm support to a horizontal

position then flip the cam lever to the locked position,

see Photo 8.

STEP 2: ADJUSTING THE SEAT

The seat can be adjusted to one of three different

positions, the lowest one being the locked position and

two positions with less of an angle.

A. Before you are able to adjust the seat position, you

must unlock the seat. There is a chair seat push

button protruding through the bracket under the seat.

Push in on this button until you can lift the front of the

seat up, exposing the seat adjustment plate that is

held against the bottom of the seat by VelcroTM. See

Photo 9.

B. Pull the seat adjustment plate free from the VelcroTM so that it hangs down from the seat plate.

There are two sets of notches in the adjustment plate that will mate with the ‘T’ shaped opening in

the seat rail, as shown in Photo 9. Choose a position in the seat adjustment plate, insert the

adjustment plate into the ‘T’ shaped opening to the desired position and slide it forward so it

engages the seat rail. You can also use the seat in the locked position.

WARNING: BE SURE THAT THE SEAT ADJUSTMENT PLATE IS ENGAGED WITH THE SEAT

RAIL SECURELY AND FULLY SEATED AGAINST THE FRONT EDGE OF THE ‘T’ SHAPED

OPENING. AN INCORRECTLY INSTALLED SEAT ADJUSTMENT PLATE COULD CAUSE THE

SEAT TO BE UNSTABLE, POSSIBLY RESULTING IN PERSONAL INJURY.

C. If you want to use the chair without the knee rests, we recommend that you place the seat

adjustment plate in the upper position. This will give a near level seat position, which is suitable

for a ‘feet-on-the-floor’ sitting position.

D. If you want to use the chair with the knee rests, we recommend the seat to be in one of the two

lower positions.

STEP 3: REMOVING AND INSTALLING THE KNEE RESTS

A. If you will be using the chair with the knee rests, verify that both metal brackets on each knee rest

are fully hooked to the studs on the knee rail, see Photo 10. Make sure the buttons are sticking

up, which locks the brackets in position to prevent them from sliding off.

B. If you will be using the chair without the knee rests, remove them as follows. Push the button

down and slide the knee rest forward so that the brackets are in the unlocked position. Lift the

knee rest up to unhook the brackets. Store the knee rests in a safe place so you can install them

before you fold up and move your chair. To install the knee rests, reverse the process. NOTE:

There is a left and a right knee rest as shown in Photo 11.

WARNING: WHEN KNEE RESTS ARE INSTALLED, ALWAYS VERIFY THAT BOTH METAL

BRACKETS ON EACH KNEE REST ARE FULLY SEATED ON THE STUDS IN THE KNEE RAIL

WITH THE PUSH BUTTONS STICKING UP BEFORE SITTING ON THE CHAIR. INCORRECTLY

INSTALLED KNEE RESTS CAN FALL OFF OR BE DAMAGED IF WEIGHT IS PUT ON THEM,

POSSIBLY RESULTING IN PERSONAL INJURY.

STEP 4: ADJUSTING THE CHAIR HEIGHT

Push

Button

A. The chair height can be adjusted to one of eight positions in order to place the seated client in the

best position for the therapist. The therapist will usually set this height once and leave it at that

setting. (Tall therapists will most likely prefer the higher settings

while shorter therapists may prefer the lower ones.)

B. To change the chair height, push the button in on one rear leg

and move the leg extension up or down to the desired position.

(Your chair is shipped with the leg extensions all the way in.)

Line the button up with the selected hole in the rear leg so the

button is once more protruding through the rear leg. Repeat

this process with the other rear leg and leg extension, see Photo 12. Be sure to set both leg

extensions at the same height.

Photo 13

Photo 13 shows the legs fully extended in the

tallest position.

WARNING: BE SURE THE TWO BUTTONS ARE

PROTRUDING THROUGH THE REAR LEGS AND

FULLY ENGAGED BEFORE USING THE CHAIR.

LEG EXTENSIONS SET AT TWO DIFFERENT

HEIGHTS OR NOT PROPERLY INSTALLED CAN

CAUSE THE CHAIR TO BE UNSTABLE, POSSIBLY

RESULTING IN PERSONAL INJURY.

STEP 5: SITTING ON THE CHAIR

Verify that the chair is fully opened by insuring that the locking buttons are protruding from their

designated holes beneath the seat on the center rail, see Photo 9.

The proper way of sitting on the chair is to first sit on the seat and then fold your legs and rest them

on the knee supports. Sitting in this manner will prevent damage that might be caused by clients

putting their entire weight on a single knee support. Knee supports are not designed for this use.

It is a good practice to sit on the chair yourself the first time after you set it up to be sure that it is set

up correctly. Practice getting on and off the chair so you can better assist clients. Remember, some

people have never sat on a chair like this before and might need assistance.

WARNING: ALWAYS STAND NEARBY SO YOU CAN STABILIZE THE CHAIR OR, IF NEEDED,

ASSIST THE PERSON GETTING ON OR OFF THE CHAIR. IT IS POSSIBLE FOR YOUR CLIENT

TO STUMBLE OR FALL, RESULTING IN PERSONAL INJURY.

STEP 6: ADJUSTING THE CHEST SUPPORT, THE FACE REST AND THE ARM REST

NOTE: The two chest support adjustments and the three face adjustments are interrelated. It is

possible to find a number of different combinations of adjustments that will allow the client to sit

comfortably. The client’s position on the seat will also affect his or her comfort. It will take some

experimenting to find the right combination of adjustments to optimize client comfort, therapist comfort

and ease of set up. One way to do this is to leave the chest support at the same angle and height all

the time and adjust the face rest height to accommodate different sized clients. It is also possible to

leave the face rest at a lower height and change the chest support angle and/or height to

accommodate different sized clients. You will need to find the settings that work best for you and your

client.

A. To adjust the chest support position, have the client sitting on the chair but not leaning against the

chest support. Raise the chest support cam lever to the unlocked position, see Photo 7. Using

your experience and a visual image of how the client fits the chair; adjust the chest support to the

appropriate angle, raise the chest support to the desired height and lower the cam lever to the

locked position, see Photo 7.

B. To change the face rest position, unlock the face rest cam lever and adjust the face rest to the

appropriate angle. See Photo 6. If the client is thick chested and short necked you can also lift

the face rest to meet his or her face, this is done by lifting up on the face rest base plate while

unlocked. When you have the face rest where you want it, lock it in place by flipping the cam lever

to the locked position. If the face rest cam lever is in the way, it can be rotated without unlocking

it to a position out of the way. The crescent pad can be adjusted to fit different face widths.

Simply grasp the end of the two legs of the crescent, lift up to free them from the VelcroTM, bring

the two ends closer together or wider apart and reattach to the VelcroTM.

C. To raise the face rest away from the chest

support to fit taller clients, grasp it by the base

plate, loosen the face rest knobs on the sides of

the chest support and raise the face rest to the

desired height. Tighten the face rest knobs so

they are tight again. The face rest knobs on the

chest plate sides will hold the face rest in place.

Be careful not to pull the face rest up so high

that the rods are no longer extending through the tube of the mounts. See Photo 14.

WARNING: DO NOT USE THE FACE REST UNLESS THE FACE REST RODS ARE INSERTED

INTO AND EXTEND THROUGH THE MOUNTS. IT IS POSSIBLE FOR AN IMPROPERLY

INSTALLED FACE REST TO BECOME UNSTABLE, POSSIBLY RESULTING IN PERSONAL

INJURY.

D. Adjust the arm rest by unlocking its cam lever and adjusting the arm rest to a comfortable position

for the client. See Photo 8. Hold the base plate in position and lock it in place with the cam lever.

The client’s arms should be comfortably supported on the pad with his or her shoulders relaxed.

We suggest leaving the arm rest in the level position for most clients. There is an eyeglass

pocket attached to the bottom of the arm rest by VelcroTM.

STEP 7: FOLDING THE CHAIR

A. Replace the knee rests if they were

removed. Be sure they are installed on the

correct sides and securely locked in place,

see Photos 10 & 11. (Refer to Step 3 if

necessary.)

B. Set the seat to its lowest position. Make

sure the seat is locked to the seat rail. Lift

up on the front part of the seat to check.

(Refer to Step 2 if necessary.)

C. Stand to the side of the chair, using one

hand, squeeze the chair lock push buttons

(Photo 9) together and lift up on the front

of the seat with the other hand. After the

chair lock has been released, continue to

pull on the front of the seat as you push on the back of the seat (Photo 15). Once the chair is

completely folded, return the bungee to the center of the rear support plate by pulling out and up

on the ball. Refer to Photo 4.

Photo 15

D. Unlock the arm rest cam lever and lower the arm rest on the front beam down to the stored

position. Lock the cam lever.

E. Unlock the chest support cam lever, lower the chest support, if necessary, and lower the chest

support onto the front beam on the side opposite the arm rest. Lock the cam lever (see step 6A).

F. Lower the face rest if it has been raised using the face rest knobs. Unlock the face rest cam lever

and lower the face rest onto the front beam on the side opposite the chest support. Lock the cam

lever (see step 6B).

STEP 8: CARRYING THE CHAIR

A. The chair can be picked up and carried by grasping through the hole in either knee rest plate.

(Photo 16). It will be necessary to lift the pad out of the way to gain access to the hand hole in

the knee rest plate. The chest plate also has a hand hole in it that can be used for carrying the

chair (Photo 17). Remember, do not use the face rest to pick the chair up.

Photo 16 Photo 17

B. For longer distance travel your chair is equipped with wheels and can be towed behind you

similar to a piece of luggage. Once the chair is folded up and locked in place, grasp the hand hole

in the chest support plate, orient the chair in the direction indicated in Photo 18, lower your hand

towards the ground until the wheels mounted on the leg extensions come into contact with the

ground and start walking to your destination.

WARNING: DAMAGE WILL OCCURR TO YOUR ERGO-PROTM IF THE WHEELS ARE NOT ON

THE GROUND WHILE TOWING.

C. Stronglite also makes a durable nylon carrying case. It protects the chair and the padded shoulder

strap makes transporting easy. To use the Ergo-Pro carrying case place the chair in the unzipped

case with the seat side of the chair towards the pocket and Stronglite logo. Be sure the wheels stick

through the slit in the bottom of the case. The chair may be towed on its wheels or carried by the

shoulder strap.

MAINTAINING YOUR ERGO-PROTM CHAIR

We at Stronglite have designed and built the ERGO-PROTM chair to be long lasting and trouble free.

All the exposed nuts are locking to help prevent loosening. All of the pivot joints are close tolerance to

eliminate movement and reduce wear. Even so, it is possible for fasteners to become loose, parts to

wear and damage to occur. It is up to you to maintain your chair in good condition. Tighten any

loose fasteners and replace or repair any worn, damaged or missing parts. If you need replacement

parts, contact Stronglite at 1-800-289-5487. See our warranty page,

www.stronglite.com/home/sl1/warranty_info.html, for more information on repairs and replacement parts.

WARNING: A CHAIR WITH LOOSE, DAMAGED OR MISSING PARTS CAN FAIL POSSIBLY

CAUSING PERSONAL INJURY. INSPECT YOUR CHAIR BEFORE EACH USE AND KEEP IT IN

GOOD CONDITION.

INSPECTION:

Before each use: Inspect your chair to see that all joints are as tight as possible without causing

binding when the chair is folded up. Check to see that there are no damaged or missing parts. If you

have any questions or need assistance please call 1-800-289-5487.

CLEANING:

The vinyl on your chair can be cleaned with mild soap and water and using a non-abrasive cloth. The

powder coated aluminum and finished wood components can also be cleaned in this manner.

WARNING: PROLONGED EXPOSURE TO TEMPERATURE EXTREMES WILL CAUSE DAMAGE

TO VINYL.
