Installation and Operation Manual |MTI 526, 527P/S, & 527W 3
Unpacking
You will need the following to unpack and assemble
your new MTI chair:
t Wire or sheet metal cutters to cut banding
t A medium size Phillips screw driver for installation
of the patient arm upholstery
t 7/16” open or closed box end wrench (also a 5/8”
open or closed wrench and set of allyn wrenches, if
a light post is ordered)
t A utility knife or blade to open the upholstery box
t A medium at blade screw driver
t A pair of needle nosed pliers can also be helpful
1. Open the upholstery box using the utility knife
with the blade only slightly exposed so the
upholstery does not get damaged while cutting
the tape. Inspect the upholstery carefully for any
damage. There should be; (2) upholstered arms,
(1) upholstered back cushion, (1) upholstered
seat cushion, (1) upholstered foot cushion with
scu cover, and (1) upholstery ap, which will go
between the seat and back cushions.
2. Cut the banding on the chair pallet lid and remove
the corrugated box, being careful not to scrape the
chair inside.
3. Using the 7/16” wrench or an adjustable wrench to
loosen the four nuts and remove, along with the
wooden slats holding the base to the wood pallet.
This equipment is heavy, get help to remove it from
the shipping pallet. Use proper lifting procedures when
lifting to avoid serious back injury. Lift the chair from the
retracted foot section and from the exposed male back
clevis protruding from the chair back as it lays over the
seat. Scoot or slide the base to the oor from the pallet.
Avoid lifting from the formed plastic side panels or
foot section levers, as damage to them may result. If the
installation location is on a vinyl or hard tile oor, a piece
of carpet or other material should be placed beside the
pallet to act as a cushion to protect the ooring.
Allow the chair to come to room temperature to
get maximum performance. Prolonged storage at low
temperatures can make the operation slow or even not
function until the motors have warmed up.
4. Remove the foot control from its corrugated
enclosure.
5. The chair is shipped with the back section laying
over on the seat. Grasp the end of the back motor
push tube, while at the same time, cut the cable
tie attaching it to the back actuator levers located
on the bottom lower left side of the chair back.
Remove one of the e-ring fasteners from the
precision pin located in the holes of the back
actuator levers. Raise the back up to approximately
70 degrees vertical to the oor. Align the holes in
the back actuator push tube with the holes in the
actuator levers of the chair back. (Figure 1). Push
the pin through the holes and replace the e-ring.
A hard rubber mallet may be necessary to replace
the pin.
Figure 1

4 Installation and Operation Manual |MTI 526, 527P/S, & 527W
Be extremely careful in this next step of installing the
arm linkage pin, that you do not drop the pin or e-ring
inside the base or you will have to disassemble the covers
to retrieve them.
6. Remove the e-ring and pin from the arm
actuation linkage. With your left hand, or by using
someone to assist you, raise the left patient arm
approximately horizontal. With your right hand pull
the plastic top cover edge outward slightly, and
at the same time, align the pin with the holes in
linkage. Some wiggling up and down of the arm,
while pressing the pin inward may be needed
(Figure 2). After pin is all the way through the
holes, replace the remaining e-ring.
Figure 2
7. Align pins and tabs of the male foot control plug
with the chair receptacle by positioning the
yellow/white mark on the plug body to the twelve
O’clock position relative to the receptacle at the
lower rear of the chair base (Figure 3). Secure the
plug body by rotating the locking ring clockwise
(CW) until it engages and then stops.
Figure 3
Alignment only requires slight pressure; do not force
the male plug into the female receptacle of the base as
damage to one or both plugs can occur.
8. Your MTI chair is equipped with a separate three-
wire electrical supply cord, with a grounded male
plug cap and an IEC320 female plug to the chair. To
install, plug the IEC320 female plug into the chair
and secure with the spring wire keeper (Figure 4).
Then plug the grounded male plug cap and attach
the surge protector to an appropriately protected
115/60 or 230/50 Volt AC grounded outlet. The
AC (alternating current) input is transformed to 24
volts and then rectied to DC (direct current) just
after the power enters the
chair base.
Figure 4

Installation and Operation Manual |MTI 526, 527P/S, & 527W 5
Each MTI chair has a circuit board. The included surge
protector must be used to protect the board. Warranty is
void if this surge protector is not used.
Do not use a two-three plug adapter to plug the MTI
chair into a two conductor outlet, as grounding reliability
is not then maintained.
Do not operate your MTI chair in the presence of
ammable anesthetics.
The supply cord may be used to simultaneously
insolate both poles of the power supply by removing the
power supply cord at the chair input or wall receptacle.
The electro magnet on any optional electro
magnetically operated swivel base has been evaluated for
potential electro magnetic interference and health risks
and found NOT to present any potential problems.
Leveling Feet Adjustments
In order to keep the table’s base level on any type of
surface, your MTI table is equipped with leveling feet
on each corner of the chair base plate.
If you chair is not level or it rocks from side to side, then
adjustement to one or more of the leveling feel will be
required.
1. Position the table where it will be intended to be
used. Check the stability of the table by wiggling
the table top from side to side with the table in the
fully raised position.
2. Use a 5/8” open or closed end wrench to loosen
and remove the plated acorn nuts which are found
on the corners of the base plate (Figure 5).
Figure 5
3. Using a medium at blade screwdriver, turn the
slotted screw under the acorn nut clockwise
(CW) to take up more space under the plate or
counterclockwise (CCW) for less travel (Figure 6).
Figure 6
Adjustments to one or more of the leveling feet may
be needed to be done for optimal results.
Upholstery Installation
Your upholstery kit includes the following upholstery
pieces:
t Back cushion upholstery
t Seat cushion upholstery
t Foot cushion upholstery

6 Installation and Operation Manual |MTI 526, 527P/S, & 527W
t (2) Upholstered arms that come with (8) 10-24 x 1
1/2” screws and (8) #10 internal star washers
t Back/seat cushion ap
If your MTI table is ordered with optional arms,
headrests, lights, etc., those parts will be in a separate box
from the upholstery.
All cushions and the foot cushion scu cover attach to
the chair with Velcro® for easy installation and removal.
While installing all cushions, align Velcro® strips and
cushions with the mating Velcro® strips on the chair
metal section substrates.
4. Power the metal back down to a position in the same
plain as the seat. Install the ap between the seat and
back cushions rst, by laying the ap over the chair
back hinges and securing the ap to the Velcro® strips
of the back and seat cushions (Figure 7).
Figure 7
5. Install the seat cushion by placing the rear of the
cushion rst against the hinges located at the rear
of the seat and then lowering it to the front of
the seat, while aligning the waterfall edges of the
cushion with the formed recesses of the side panel
moldings (Figure 8).
Figure 8
6. Resting the top of the back cushion on the top of
the formed back cushion cover, match the waterfall
cushion to the formed recess of the thermoformed
back panel and lower into place (Figure 9).
Figure 9
7. With the foot section in the retracted position,
place the foot cushion over the metal substrate,
rear rst, while lowering and aligning the cushion
and Velcro® with the metal substrate (Figure 10).
