1.3Description Of 317 Power Podiatry
Chair
A. General Description (See Figure 1-1).
The 317 Power Podiatry Chair is an examination chair
designed specifically for performing general podiatric
Electrical Power:
Line voltage is supplied directly to the switches of the
chair.
Up Functions Electrical Operation:
Line voltage is continuously supplied to line side
terminals of all switches. Then, when a TILT UP, BACK
UP, or BASE UP switch is pressed, the current flows
thru the two poles of the selected switch. One pole of
switch allows current to flow across the cylinder's
solenoid valve and time delay relay, energizing the
cylinder solenoid valve. The time delay relay delays
current flow across the coil of the cylinder solenoid
valve for 1/10 of a second, which allows time for the
motor pump to develop hydraulic pressure. This
prevents the selected function from drifting downward
before starting to raise up and prevents a jerky start.
The other pole of the switch allows current to flow
across the manual functions relay (CR1), energizing the
relay. When the manual functions relay (CR1) is
energized, three subswitches within the relay are
switched, the normally open (N.O.) subswitch CR1-A,
the normally closed (N.C.) subswitch CR1-B, and the
N.C. subswitch CR1-C. If a subswitch was a normally
open (N.O.) switch, it then switches to closed position
(current can flow). If a subswitch was a normally closed
(N.C.) switch, it then switches to an open position
(current cannot flow).
The N.O. subswitch CR1-A closes, which applies
current across the coil of the motor pump, causing the
pump to run and supply pressure for the selected UP
function. There are two capacitors in the motor pumps
circuit which provide motor start and motor run power.
Current is also applied across the coil of the anticavitation solenoid valve, energizing the valve and
causing it to open. The N.C. subswitch CR1-B opens,
which disables all DOWN functions while an UP function button is depressed. This prevents the motor pump
from being run in the forward and reverse directions
simultaneously, possibly damaging it. The N.C.
subswitch CR1-C opens, which disables the AUTO
RETURN "RETURN" and "STOP" buttons, the tilt down
limit switch, and the base down limit switch. This also
prevents the motor pump from being run in the forward
and reverse directions simultaneously, possibly damaging it.
Up Functions Hydraulic Operation:
When the motor pump starts pumping, suction is
created by the rotating pump gears, which allows oil to
defeat the reservoir check valve and flow into the pump
gears. The pump gears pressurize the oil which flows
to the up function shuttle valve. The check ball and
shuttle in the up function shuttle valve are pushed to the
open position by the oil, allowing oil to flow through the
shuttle valve by flowing around the check ball (with the
shuttle in the open position, oil is prevented from flowing
through the reservoir ports and returning to the reservoir). The oil then flows through the open cylinder
solenoid valve at the base of the selected cylinder,
extending the cylinder rod. When the cylinder rod
extends, oil is forced out of the rod end of the cylinder,
through the open anti-cavitation solenoid valve and to
the down function shuttle valve. The check ball and the
shuttle in the down function shuttle valve are pushed to
the closed position by the oil, which prevents oil from
flowing through the shuttle valve and into the motor
pump, but allows the oil to flow through the newly
uncovered reservoir ports into the reservoir. When the
cylinder rod reaches the end of its travel, the up function relief valve opens when the pressure reaches 525 600 PSI (36.2 - 41.4 BARS) and allows the oil to return
to the reservoir. This prevents the motor pump from
developing pressures that are too high and damaging
the hydraulic system components, hoses, or the motor
pump itself.
When the operator releases the selected function's
switch, the motor pump shuts down and the anticavitation solenoid valve and the cylinder solenoid valve
de-energize, causing the valves to close.
Down Functions Electrical Operation:
Line voltage is continuously supplied to line side
terminals of all switches. Then, when a TILT DOWN,
BACK DOWN, or BASE DOWN switch is pressed, the
current flows thru the two poles of the selected switch.
One pole of switch allows current to flow across the
cylinder's solenoid valve and time delay relay, energizing the cylinder solenoid valve. The time delay relay
delays current flow across the coil of the cylinder
solenoid valve for 1/10 of a second, which allows time
for the motor pump to develop hydraulic pressure. This
prevents the selected function from drifting before
starting to move and also prevents a jerky start. The
other pole of the switch allows current to flow thru the
N.C. subswitch CR1-B and then across the coil of the
motor pump, causing the pump to run and supply
pressure for the selected DOWN function. There are
two capacitors in the motor pumps circuit which provide
motor start and motor run power.
Down Functions Hydraulic Operation:
When the motor pump starts pumping, suction is
created by the rotating pump gears, which allows oil to
defeat the reservoir check valve and flow into the pump
gears. The pump gears pressurize the oil which flows
to the down function shuttle valve. The check ball and
shuttle in the down function shuttle valve are pushed to
the open position by the oil, allowing oil to flow through
the shuttle valve by flowing around the check ball (with
the shuttle in the open position, oil is prevented from
flowing through the reservoir ports and returning to the
reservoir). The oil then flows through the anti-cavitation
solenoid valve and into the rod end of the cylinder,
causing the cylinder rod to retract. When the cylinder
rod retracts, oil is forced out of the base of the cylinder,
through the open cylinder solenoid valve to the up
function shuttle valve. The check ball and the shuttle in
the up function shuttle valve are pushed to the closed
position by the oil, which prevents oil from flowing
through the shuttle valve and into the motor pump, but
allows the oil to flow through the newly uncovered
reservoir ports into the reservoir. When the cylinder rod
reaches the end of its travel, the down functions relief
valve opens when the pressure reaches 250 - 325 PSI
(17.2 - 22.4 BARS) and allows the oil to return to the
reservoir. This prevents the motor pump from developing pressures that are too high and damaging the
hydraulic system components, hoses, or the motor
pump itself.
When the operator releases the selected function's
switch, the motor pump shuts down and the cylinder
solenoid valve de-energizes, causing the valve to close.
Auto Return Function Operation:
When the operator presses one of the two AUTO
RETURN "RETURN" buttons, current is applied across
the normally closed contacts of the tilt down limit switch
and base down limit switch and then across the coil of
the auto return relay (CR2), energizing the relay. When
the auto return relay (CR2) is energized, three
subswitches within the relay are switched; the N.O.
subswitch CR2-A, the N.O. subswitch CR2-B, and the
N.O. subswitch CR2-C.
contact set (terminals 5 and 6) closes, energizing the
base cylinder solenoid valve. The third contact set
(terminals 7 and 8) opens, leaving the base down limit
switch as the sole source of power for the auto return
relay (CR2). When the base cylinder solenoid valve is
energized, the base function lowers until the base down
limit switch is tripped. There are two sets of contacts in
the base down limit switch. When the base down limit
switch is tripped, one contact set (terminals 3 and 4)
opens, de-energizing the base cylinder solenoid valve.
The second contact set (terminals 7 and 8) opens,
opening the auto return relay (CR2) and causing the
relay to de-energize. The auto return sequence is now
complete.
If the operator needs to stop the table top from lowering
for any reason, one of the two AUTO RETURN "STOP"
buttons can be pressed. When one of N.C. "STOP"
buttons is pressed, the circuit to the auto return relay
(CR2) is opened, removing current flow from the coil of
the auto return relay (CR2) and causing it to deenergize. Current flow to the coil of the cylinder solenoid valve and motor pump is stopped, causing the auto
return function to stop.
When subswitch CR2-A switches, current now flows
across the N.C. AUTO RETURN "STOP" switches and
the coil of the auto return relay (CR2), keeping the relay
energized even after the operator has released the
AUTO RETURN "RETURN" switch. This also allows
the STOP buttons to become functional. Pressing a
STOP button will open the circuit, which will de-energize the auto return relay (CR2), thereby stopping the
auto return function. When subswitch CR2-B switches,
current flows across the tilt cylinder's solenoid valve
and the time delay relay, energizing the tilt cylinder
solenoid valve. The time delay relay delays current flow
across the coil of the tilt cylinder solenoid valve for 1/10
of a second, which allows time for the motor pump to
develop hydraulic pressure. This prevents the selected
function from drifting before starting to move and also
prevents a jerky start. When subswitch CR2-C
switches, current flows across the coil of the motor
pump, causing the pump to run and supply pressure for
the AUTO RETURN sequence. There are two capacitors in the motor pump circuit which provide motor start
and motor run power.
The TILT function lowers until the tilt down limit switch
is tripped. There are three sets of contacts in the tilt
down limit switch. When the tilt down limit switch is
tripped, one contact set (terminals 3 and 4) opens, deenergizing the tilt cylinder solenoid valve. The second
General Information:
The anti-cavitation solenoid valve is in the hydraulic
system to prevent oil from escaping out of the rod end
of a cylinder while the chair is not being moved. Otherwise, a cylinder rod would be able to extend on its own
if upward pressure was placed on that function of the
chair top by the doctor or patient.
The cylinder solenoid valves are in the hydraulic system
to prevent oil from escaping out of the base of the
cylinder assemblies. Otherwise, a cylinder assembly
could retract on its own, allowing the table top to drift.
On some older units, there is a needle valve attached to
the rod end of the back cylinder. On these units, the
needle valve is used to adjust the speed of the back
cylinder.
The motor has a thermal overload switch which automatically activates if motor becomes overheated,
shutting the motor down. The motor is designed for
intermittent, not continuous duty. Running the motor
continuously will cause the overload switch to activate.
If a part replacement is required, order the part directly
from the factory as follows:

In order to effectively diagnose the malfunction of the
chair, it may be necessary to perform an operational
test as follows:
WARNING
Refer to the Operator Manual for
complete instructions on operating the
chair. Failure to do so could result in personal
injury.
NOTE
The Operational Test, for the most part, only describes what should happen when the chair is
operated. If the chair does something other than
described, a problem has been discovered. Refer to
the Troubleshooting Guide to determine the cause of
the problem and its correction.
(1) Plug the chair into a grounded, non-isolated,
correctly polarized outlet, that has the proper
voltage output for the chair.
(2) Depress TABLE UP and TABLE DOWN foot
switches on the foot control. Depress the
BACK UP / DOWN switch to the UP and
DOWN positions. Depress the TILT UP /
DOWN switch to the UP and DOWN positions.
(4) Raise TABLE UP and TILT UP function all the
way up.
(5) Press one of the AUTO RETURN "RETURN"
switches. After table top starts to move, press
one of the AUTO RETURN "STOP" switches.
(6) Observe. When the AUTO RETURN "RE-
TURN" switch is pressed, the tilt function
should begin to lower (and should keep lowering even after the RETURN switch is released).
When the AUTO RETURN "STOP" switch is
pressed, the table top should stop lowering.
(7) Press one of the AUTO RETURN "RETURN"
switches and allow the auto return sequence to
finish.
(8) Observe. The tilt function should lower com-
pletely and stop; then the base down function
should lower all the way down and stop. The
motor pump should stop running, indicating that
the base down limit switch has been tripped.
(9) Repeat steps 2 thru 8 using the function
switches on the other side of the chair.
(10) Push down on right side or pull up on left side
of brake handle and then slide foot section
assembly in and out. Release brake handle.
(3) Observe. The table top should move in the
direction corresponding to the footswitch /
switch which is being depressed. The range of
movement should match the ranges listed
below:
Back Section .....................................................0 - 85°
Table Top Height (Adjustable):........ 26.0 in. to 42.0 in.
(66.0 cm to 106.7 cm)
No section of the table top should drift on its
own after a footswitch / switch is released.
Movement should be steady and should match
the speeds listed below:
Table Speeds (@ 60 Hz.):
Base Up ................................................ 9 ±1 seconds
Back Up................................................. 9 ±1 seconds
the foot section assembly should be able to be
moved in and out freely. When the brake
handle is released, the foot section assembly
should be locked in place securely.
NOTE
The release plunger may not automatically return to
the locked position by itself. It may need to be
worked into its locked position.
(12) Pull release plunger out and move reclining arm
up and down. Lower reclining arm all the way
and allow release plunger to lock into position.

The illustrated parts list provides information for identifying and ordering the parts necessary to maintain the
unit in peak operating condition. Refer to paragraph 1.5
for parts ordering information.
The parts list also illustrates disassembly and assembly
relationships of parts.
6.2 Description of Columns
The
Item
column of the parts list gives a component its
own unique number. The same number is given to the
component in the parts illustration. This allows a part
number of a component to be found if the technician
can visually spot the part on the illustration. The
technician simply finds the component in question on
the illustration and notes the item number of that
component. Then, he finds that item number in the
parts list. The row corresponding to the item number
gives the technician the part number, a description of
the component, and quantity of parts per subassembly.
Also, if a part number is known, the location of that
component can be determined by looking for the item
number of the component on the illustration.
