DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION General A. This Component Maintenance Manual (CMM) provides maintenance and operating instructions for the Model 5000 Track & Swivel Seats designed and manufactured by DeCrane Aircraft Seating Company, Inc. (DASC) (TSO previously held by Dettmers Industries). B. These seat designs have been tested and approved by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to be identified by DASC as forward/rearward facing seats, meeting the requirements of TSO-C39b.
D. All seats have an Identification TSO placard located on the seat pan under the seat cushion. Should you need to contact DASC for answers to questions about a specific seat, it is important to obtain the part number and serial number from this placard before calling. Manual Seat Operation A.
E. Recliner Footrest (if so equipped) The footrest can be moved to any position from a vertical to a horizontal position to support the occupant’s legs in an elevated position. To deploy the footrest, push the release pushbutton. When the desired position is reached, release the pushbutton.
C. Lumbar, Seatback, Tilt, and Footrest Controls (DASC) Depressing the horizontal lumbar pushbuttons will move the lumbar support in or out Depressing the vertical lumbar pushbuttons will move the lumbar support up or down Depressing the seatback pushbuttons will raise or lower the seatback Depressing the tilt pushbuttons will move the seatback and pan up or down from the horizontal plane Depressing the footrest pushbuttons will raise or lower the footrest...

C. Passenger seats must be arranged so that they are either forward or aft facing for takeoff and landing conditions. It is important to know the seat installation limitations are for takeoff and landing conditions. A placard will be installed at each seat, indicating the takeoff and landing position of the seat.

TESTING AND FAULT ISOLATION General A. This section contains test procedures to ensure that the seat operational mechanisms are installed and working properly. B. Unless otherwise specified, the tests should be performed with the seat weighted with a minimum of a 200 lbs (91 kg) passenger or equivalent. All controls and cabling must be installed to perform these tests.

Pull up and hold the release lever (or depress the pushbutton) and move the seat to a different horizontal and rotational position. Release the lever (or pushbutton). Attempt to move and rotate the seat in any direction to check that the seat is locked in the desired position.
Page 25
F. Specialty Controls (if so equipped) Tilt Controls (a) Depress the tilt control pushbutton to tilt the seat fully back. Motion must be free and without binding. Release the pushbutton. (b) Try to pull seat forward. No evidence of slippage of seat. (c) Depress the tilt control pushbutton to tilt the seat in mid position and release the pushbutton.

B. CPU Enclosure Sub-Assembly CAUTION! The CPU Enclosure Sub-Assembly contains ESD sensitive electronic components. Improper handling may result in damage to the device that will reduce operational life Prior to “exposing” connector pins by removing aircraft cabling or ESD dissipative covers/caps/dummy plugs to service Seat, cabling, or the CPU Enclosure Sub- Assembly: Ensure that the Seat Frame is electrically bonded to aircraft frame ground.

Page 37
Wiring and Circuit Protection For the purpose of proper power wiring and protection, wire used for input power (120VAC/400Hz) should be #16 to #20 AWG, and should meet all applicable requirements for its intended use. Each seat should have separate wiring from a dedicated circuit breaker.

DISASSEMBLY General NOTE See the section on Testing and Fault Isolation, to establish the condition of the component or most probable cause of its malfunction. This is to determine the extent of disassembly required without completely tearing down and rebuilding the component. CAUTION DO NOT disassemble the track &...
3. Seat Pan Removal A. Remove the seat cushion. B. Lower the seatback to the fully reclined position. C. Remove all screws from the seat pan. D. Cut all tie wraps, being careful not to cut any supported cabling. E. Remove the seat pan. 4.
Recline Cylinder Removal A. Remove the seat cushion. B. Ensure the seatback is in the full upright position. C. Remove the lock nut and bolt from the cylinder piston end. Support the shaft while removing the bolt to relieve the shaft tension. D.
11. Headrest Removal A. The headrest is easily removed by pulling it upward until the headrest shafts exit the guide tubes in the seatback. 12. Seat Track and Swivel Mechanism Removal CAUTION DO NOT disassemble the track & swivel mechanism. This assembly is preset at the factory to specified tolerances.

C. If the CPU Enclosure Sub-Assembly must be removed from the seat frame or the Seat electrically detached from the aircraft frame ground, the CPU Enclosure Sub-Assembly MUST be maintained in an ESD-safe environment. It must not be placed upon a non- conductive surface such as carpeting or upholstery.

CLEANING General A. Regular cleaning of all seats is necessary to maintain the cleanliness and preserve the appearance of the finish upholstery. B. All of the seat covering materials are specially treated for flame resistance to comply with 14 CFR 25.853(a) and (c), Amendment 25-83 dated 3/95. Therefore, in order to avoid damage to the protective finishes, the use of cleaning agents stronger than those specified is not recommended.
NOTE Equivalent items can be used after appropriate tests to ensure that the substitute materials do not damage the area being cleaned.

CHECK General NOTE Excessive wear is defined as obvious deformation or deterioration of a part which can render that part inoperative. If doubt exists as to the serviceability of a part, replace the part. A. Visually check all parts for nicks, cracks, cuts, corrosion, crossed and stripped threads, scores, excessive wear, and other defects that could impair seat operation or safety.

Adjustable Headrest per Step 2.D, page 102. Drop-down Armrest per Step 2.H, page 104. Recliner Footrest per Step 2.I, page 104. B. If any of the checks fail to satisfy the bolded criteria of the applicable operational test, troubleshoot, using Testing and Fault Isolation Step 3 (beginning on page 105) as a guide, and repair per the Section on Repair (beginning on page 601).
Page 49
REPAIR General A. Repair is limited to standard shop practices. Except for the permissible repairs outlined in this chapter, repair of parts and components are to be avoided since improper disassembly and assembly could compromise the safety-integrity of the seat assembly. B.

ASSEMBLY General A. This section contains reassembly instructions in the reverse sequence of the IPL. Skip unnecessary steps if the seat assembly is already partially assembled. B. Damaged fasteners, e.g., screws, nuts, washers, etc., should be replaced rather than reused. Whenever possible, replace low-cost wear items during reassembly to prevent possible future maintenance due to failure.
Page 52
Footrest Cylinder Installation A. Attach the cylinder end to the support barrel, by turning the cylinder in a clockwise direction. Leave approximately 1/8-inch between the support barrel and the cylinder end. B. Pull the cylinder shaft until the shaft bracket holes align with the footrest bracket and install the bolt and lock nut.
Page 53
B. Align the screw holes with the mounting holes in the frame. C. Fasten seat pan to the seat frame with sheet metal screws. If the upholstered seatback is already installed, lower the seatback to the fully reclined position to facilitate installation of the sheet metal screws along the back of the seat.
Page 54
All assemblers/technicians that may or will touch the CPU Enclosure Sub-Assembly must wear an ESD-safe wrist or ankle strap. Integrity of the wrist/ankle strap must be tested prior to handling the CPU Enclosure Sub-Assembly. The CPU Enclosure Sub-Assembly may then be removed from an ESD dissipative container or bag and installed in the Seat Frame.
