626 Chair Base Function Test and Repair


This illustration shows only the fuses and connections that affect the Base Up / Down function.

This illustration shows only the fuses and connections that affect the Base Up / Down function.


This illustration shows the fuses and connections that affect the Base Up / Down and Back Up / Down functions.

This illustration shows the fuses and connections that affect the Base Up / Down and Back Up / Down functions.

This illustration shows the Base limit switches, the serviceable components of the Base actuator, and the fuses on the Motor Control PC board.
Risk of electrical shock. Always disconnect chair power for three minutes, allowing capacitance to dissipate prior to servicing the Motor Control PC board.
Anytime an Overtravel Limit Switch is detected open, all functions are deactivated. Chair will continuously beep until powered down.
Use this table to isolate a malfunction.
