1.This test cannot be performed with the foot function in the max. or min. position. If necessary, reposition the foot section. Refer to: Tilt Actuator PC Board Test.
2.Move Tilt function so it is approximately halfway between its maximum and minimum positions.
3.Tag / disconnect foot actuator wires from J5 and J6.
The foot limit switches will not stop movement during this test. Do not run past max. / min. positions.
4.Move brown wire from J7 to J6. Move blue wire from J8 to J5.
5.Press and hold Foot Up button for 5 seconds. Does the tilt function move up, then stop and beep? If Yes, go to Step 6. If No, replace PC Board*.
6.Press and hold Foot Down button for 5 seconds. Does the tilt function move down, then stop and beep? If Yes, PC Board is OK. If No, replace PC Board.
