Understanding the 8282 Shampoo Chair

This guide provides general operational knowledge about the 8282 Shampoo Chair, including its components and functionality. It also highlights best practices to ensure longevity and avoid damage. Note that the chair discussed includes the optional heated massage system. Separate tutorials are available for the massage and lift systems.

 

Preparation

  • Ensure the chair is powered off and unplugged before inspection or maintenance.

  • Familiarize yourself with the tools needed for adjustments or repairs, such as an Allen wrench.


1. Accessing the Order Number and Internal Components

  1. Locate the back panel of the chair.

    • The panel is secured with two bolts (or Velcro in some models).

    • These bolts are required for certification compliance.

  2. Remove the back panel to access:

    • Order number (essential for customer support or parts ordering).

    • Motor drive system.

    • Relaxer system.

Note: Removing the panel can be challenging. Loosen the bolts carefully to avoid damage.


2. Understanding the Kick-Out Mechanism

  1. Operate the kick-out lever to extend or retract the footrest for client comfort.

  2. Important Usage Note:

    • Avoid pushing the footrest down with your foot when retracting it. This can bend the kick-out mechanism, requiring an expensive and time-consuming replacement.

  3. If the kick-out mechanism or torque tube (lever mechanism) is damaged, refer to a specific tutorial on how to replace it.


3. Managing the Chair’s Arms

  1. The chair’s arms are designed to move independently from the seat and back.

  2. The arms are bolted to the frame and can be replaced using an Allen wrench if necessary.

  3. Avoid Damage:

    • Do not sit on the arms as this can cause them to fold down and break, requiring replacement.


4. Operating the Wands and Electrical Systems

  1. The chair includes two separate control wands:

    • Wand 1: Controls the up-and-down lift system.

    • Wand 2: Controls the heated massage system.

  2. These are completely independent electrical systems with:

    • Separate transformers.

    • Separate power supplies.

  3. Best Practice: Always use the wands with dry hands to prevent water damage.


5. Troubleshooting Power Issues

  1. Check the power supplies:

    • Look for illuminated LEDs on the power supplies to confirm functionality.

  2. Verify the chair is plugged into a GFI outlet:

    • Test the GFI outlet to ensure power is supplied.

  3. If power is still not restored:

    • Contact customer support for further assistance.


6. Key Components and Nomenclature

  • Kick-Out Mechanism: Operates the footrest; avoid bending during use.

  • Lift Motor: Responsible for the up-and-down motion.

  • Heated Massage System: Provides additional client comfort; operates independently of other systems.

  • Torque Tube: Part of the kick-out mechanism; replaceable if damaged.



By following these guidelines, you can ensure proper operation and maintenance of the 8282 Shampoo Chair. For more detailed instructions, refer to the separate tutorials on the massage and lift systems or consult customer support.
