1. Introduction
Welcome to the MASSAGE MEDIK M5 Massage Chair instruction manual. This guide provides comprehensive information to help you set up, operate, and maintain your new massage chair. The M5 is designed to offer a full-body massage experience, featuring zero gravity reclining, built-in heat, and an advanced air massage system to promote relaxation and well-being.
2. Important Safety Information
WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury, always follow these safety precautions.
- Always follow the assembly instructions carefully. Do not attempt to use the chair until it is fully assembled.
- Be cautious when adjusting the height, lumbar, and arm rest features to avoid injury.
- Keep the chair on a stable, level surface to prevent tipping.
- Do not exceed the maximum weight capacity of the chair.
- Unplug the chair from the power outlet when not in use or before cleaning.
- Do not operate the chair if it has a damaged cord or plug, or if it is not working properly.
- Keep children and pets away from the chair, especially during operation.
3. Setup and Assembly
The MASSAGE MEDIK M5 Massage Chair arrives largely pre-assembled in a single, large box. Due to its size and weight (approximately 200 pounds), professional delivery and placement are recommended. The chair is designed for easy setup once positioned in your desired location.
3.1 Unpacking and Placement
- Carefully remove the chair from its packaging. It is recommended to have at least two people for this process due to the chair's weight.
- Place the chair on a stable, level surface. Ensure there is sufficient space around the chair, particularly behind it, to allow for full recline. A minimum of 2 feet clearance behind the chair is suggested for full recline functionality.
- Connect the power cord to a suitable electrical outlet.
3.2 Moving the Chair
The M5 massage chair is equipped with wheels on the back for easier relocation. To move the chair, gently tilt it backward to engage the wheels, then carefully push or pull it to the new position. Always ensure the power cord is unplugged before moving.

4. Product Features and Components
The M5 massage chair offers a range of features for a comprehensive massage experience:
- Adjustable Headrest: The headrest can be adjusted to accommodate users of various heights, from approximately 5 feet to 6 feet 4 inches.
- Forearm and Hand Pressure Points: Integrated airbags provide compression massage for the forearms and hands. Users with watches or jewelry on their wrists may find it more comfortable to remove them before use.
- Foot and Calf Massage: The footrest includes airbags and rollers to massage the feet and calves.
- Zero Gravity Recline: The chair reclines to a zero-gravity position, distributing body weight evenly to reduce pressure on the spine and joints.
- Built-in Heat: Heating elements provide soothing warmth to enhance muscle relaxation.
- Air Massage System: Multiple airbags located throughout the chair inflate and deflate to provide compression massage to various body parts.
- 6-Roller Back Massage Mechanism: An advanced roller system provides deep tissue massage along the back, offering 8cm deep massage, point massage, and three-speed adjustment.
