4.6.9 E-base Motor and Canopy Motor

If you must replace a footswitch when the bed is all the way down, use pedal screen on service screen to raise
or lower the bed.
To troubleshoot the canopy clutch and roll pins, run the e-base all the way up. Take the bottom end cap off the
rail and the back panel off the electrical enclosure. Use a flash bulb to look up into the rail and see what moves
when the canopy slips. If the motor coupler is turning, then either the slip clutch or one of the roll pins is missing
or defective. If the clutch turns and not the sprocket, then the problem is a defective slip clutch. If neither turns,
the problem is probably a sheared roll pin.
The e-base motor and canopy motors are driven by the same circuits. The e-base is always driven at 24 volts
DC (acceptable range 24-32), and the canopy motor is driven at 24 volts (acceptable range 24-32) when going
up and 12 volts (acceptable range 12-16) when going down.
