General Operation and Care
of Equipment
This manual covers the instructions for the installation,
operation, and normal care of the 417 Podiatry Examination Chair.
For the purpose of this manual, the word TABLE is
synonymous with the word CHAIR.
This table has been designed to help reduce effort
and work fatigue inv olv ed in the e xamination and treatment of an ever-increasing number of patients during the
doctor’s normal working day.
The angle of the table top , (TILT), and the upper
section of the table, (BA CK), are adjusted by the use of
an electromechanical power unit. The seat height of this
table is fixed at 22-1/2". The angle of the table top,
(TILT), ma y be varied from the horizontal to 30 degrees.
The upper portion of the table, (BACK), can be adjusted
from horizontal to a full chair sitting position, and the foot
section may be manually extended - 8-7/8". The combination of these three motions provide a table which can
not only be tailored to meet the individual doctor’s
requirements, but will meet the requirements of most
examinations and treatments being perfo rmed in the
doctor’s office toda y.
The FOOT CONTROL, accessory p/n 9A97002
(optional) and the HAND CONTROL, accessory p/n
9A93001, (standard) both can be used to control manual
table adjustments and to enter and use preset programmed positions. They also contain an “auto return”
feature which automatically sends the table to a preset,
home, sitting position with the single touch of a button.
The Company shall repair or replace any products or parts thereof, which prove to be defective in workmanship and/or material.
Except as it may otherwise specifically agree in writing the Company shall not be liable for transportation, labor or other charges
for adjustments, repairs, replacement parts, installation or other work which may be done upon or in connection with such products by the Company’s authorized Dealers or others.
Any part or parts of a product to be repaired or replaced under this limited warranty must be returned to the factory f.o.b.
This warranty does not apply to any part or product which examination discloses has been misused, abused, altered or tam-
pered with in any way. This warranty shall be in effect for a period of twelve months from the date of shipment to the customer.
In no event shall the Company be liable for consequential or special damages in the event of warranty repair or replacement
of its products.
THE FOREGOING IS IN LIEU OF ALL WARRANTIES EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, AND ALL OTHER OBLIGATIONS OR LI-
ABILITIES ON THE PART OF THE COMPANY.

Use 115 volt - 60 hertz alternating
current only. Failure to do so could
result in personal injury or equipment damage.
NOTE
This equipment is not designed for continuous
operation. If the unit is operated continually, a
thermal overload switch will shut off the actuator
motor. If normal operation ceases, immediately
remove your foot or hand from the control s witch.
The overload switch will automatically reset after
the motor cools (minimum 15 minutes).
The 417 table actuators are fused to protect the
operator as well as the table. Should the unit fail to
start after a cool down period, contact an authorized
service center to investigate the cause of the failure .

Care of Table
CARE OF UPHOLSTERY
The upholstery material used to cover the top of the
table is resistant to most medicinal-type stains, but may
be damaged by solvents and dyes. Regular care should
be maintained by daily wiping with a damp cloth or
sponge and a periodic cleaning with a mild soap and
water solution.
Any fluid spilled on the upholstery should be re-
moved as quickly as possible.
In the case of stain, attempt to remove it with soap
and water.
CARE OF PAINTED METAL SURFACES
All painted metal surfaces should be wiped clean with a
clean, soft cloth weekly, and a periodic application of
paste wax to smooth paints will preserve the finish
luster .
CARE OF PLASTIC COMPONENTS
All the plastic table parts should be cleaned with a clean
damp cloth weekly. Any soiled areas may be cleaned
with soap and water or other household cleaners.
CARE OF MOVING PARTS
All moving parts, such as the foot section slides, back
hinges, and debris tray assembly should be lubricated
occasionally with a light machine oil to help insure quiet,
dependable operation.
Maintenance
Little routine maintenance is required other than a
periodic inspection of the electrical cords to make sure
they are free of cuts or damage and clear of moving
parts. Due to the mechanical, electrical nature of this
equipment, periodic inspections at six (6) month intervals b y your dealer are recommended.
DANGER
Failure to perf orm a periodic inspec-
tion of your equipment could result
in personal injury or equipment damage.
