6.1 Transport
❖Carry the MLK Physio by its base / supporting structure during transport only.
❖Never carry the MLK Physio by its lying / sitting surface or its armrests during
transport; otherwise you can damage the MLK Physio seriously.
A transport of the MLK Physio can be severely affected to some extent due to
unfavourable environment conditions. Such unfavourable environmental
conditions are e.g. narrow doors, narrow corners behind doors, narrow corridors,
narrow staircases, spiral staircases etc. The weight of the MLK Physio is at least
85 kg (without options). Please note that the manoeuvrability of the MLK Physio
is thus limited.

12
6.2 Space requirement
❖Before installation, ensure that there is sufficient free space for the MLK Physio
relevant to its total length. Dimensions of the MLK Physio in lowest position
(L*W*H): 200*70*61 cm. You can adjust the height up to 91 cm using the lifting
motor. A lateral shift (14 cm) occurs when adjusting the height (parallelogram
principle). Always provide a minimum distance of 50 cm to any wall. Look at the
figure below:
NOTICE! When you have placed the MLK Physio in a suitable position
providing sufficient free space, remove the carrying supports
6
if necessary
and store them at a safe place for future use.
6.3 Assembly
❖The MLK Physio is easy to install and can be adapted to all human body
measurements. You can adjust the desired positions electrically in a very short
period of time and then focus entirely on your customer.

10. Pneumatic adjustments
❖The pneumatic adjustments of the MLK Physio (armrests / headrest) are
carried out using the appropriate gas pressure springs by means of the associated
levers; s. the following chapters.
❖The electrical adjustments of the MLK Physio are carried out using the manual
control panel (MCP); s. chapter 11. ELECTRICAL ADJUSTMENTS et seq.
❖Optionally, the electrical adjustments can be carried out using a foot control
panel; s. chapter 12. FOOT CONTROL PANEL (OPTIONAL EQUIPMENT).
10.1 Gas pressure springs
❖The armrests as well as the headrest can be adjusted pneumatically using the
appropriate gas pressure springs by means of the associated levers.
❖If you carry out any setting by means of the lever of the gas pressure spring, you
only need to operate the lever when lowering the armrests or headrest.
❖Carry out a pulling movement upwards (without operation of the respective
lever) to lift an armrest and / or the headrest again.
YOU CAN LIFT THE ARMRESTS AND / OR THE HEADREST IN TWO WAYS:
a) Pull the armrest and / or the headrest upwards carefully using your hand.

18
b) “HANDS FREE OPERATION”: You can lift the armrests as well as the headrest
without using your hands. To do this, use your arm, elbow, etc. to push against
the underside of the armrest or headrest carefully to move it upwards
10.2 Adjustment of the headrest
WARNING! Do not carry out any physical force to the headrest
(instructions are not depending on the adjustment of the lying surface).
Failure to do so can cause permanent damage to the construction of the
MLK Physio. RISK OF TIPPING! RISK OF DISINTEGRATION! RISK OF
INJURY!
❖The headrest is freely and manually adjustable.
❖You can incline the headrest (positive and negative by 300) using the lever, which
is on the side of the pneumatic spring. Lock the set position by releasing the lever.
Thus, you can always offer your customer a comfortable treatment position.
➢See also chapter 10.1 GAS PRESSURE SPRINGS.
❖The upholstery of the headrest is equipped with a nose slot usable when carrying
out back-massages. For this purpose, the headrest is equipped with one or two
separate upholstery parts, which can be removed (s. below).
Fig. similar: colour may vary depending on model.
The NECK REST "DENTALAX”is optional available for our treatment tables. The
NECK REST "DENTALAX”supports the cervical spine effectively and will increase
the comfort of lying significantly (see also chapter 16. OPTIONALLY AVAILABLE
ACCESSORIES.
NOTICE! Do not lean, stand or sit on the headrest; otherwise you can
damage the headrest permanently! RISK OF DAMAGE!

19
10.3 Adjustment of the armrests
WARNING! Do not carry out any physical force to the armrests
(instructions are not depending on the adjustment of the lying surface).
Failure to do so can cause permanent damage to the construction of the
MLK Physio. RISK OF TIPPING! RISK OF DISINTEGRATION! RISK OF
INJURY!
❖You can lower or lift each armrest in the same way as the headrest (manually, gas
pressure spring / "HANDS FREE OPERATION"; see also chapter 10.1 GAS
PRESSURE SPRINGS).
❖Use the lever of the relevant side and press lightly to adjust the armrests freely.
❖Thus, the MLK Physio is the optimal solution for back massages (s. fig. below).

11. Electrical adjustments
❖The pneumatic adjustments of the MLK Physio (armrests / headrest) are
carried out using the appropriate gas pressure springs by means of the associated
levers; s. chapter 10. PNEUMATIC ADJUSTMENTS et seq.
❖The electrical adjustments of the MLK Physio are carried out using the manual
control panel (MCP); s. chapter 11.1 MANUAL CONTROL PANEL (MCP) et seq.
❖Optionally, the electrical adjustments can be carried out using a foot control
panel; s. chapter 12. FOOT CONTROL PANEL (OPTIONAL EQUIPMENT).
The actuators of the MLK Physio are equipped with the SPLINE - FUNCTION.
The SPLINE - FUNCTION causes the actuators to run the lifting movement only,
the lowering movement is performed by dead weight.
WARNING! The SPLINE - FUNCTION does not protect from injuries. It is
essential that no parts of the body or items are below or between the parts
of the MLKPhysio while adjustingthe lying position. RISK OF CRUSHING!

For safety reasons, the MLK Physio moves only while pressing a
button of the MCP. When you stop pressing, all moving-operation
will stop immediately.
11.1 Manual control panel (MCP)
❖The manual control panel (MCP) is a wired control.
❖The electric manual control panel is supplied with low voltage (24 V DC) and
operates the electrically-adjustable functions.
❖You can control each of the 2 actuators individually by simply pressing the
