IMPORTANT: The standard touchpad is shown. For other touchpads, see your delivery system Instructions for Use.

If an object gets caught under the cuspidor bowl as the chair is lowered, a stop switch will interrupt the chair motion to prevent damage. If the object becomes lodged, press the chair up button (↑) on the footswitch or touchpad to remove the object and resume normal operation.

IMPORTANT: For more information about chair safety features, see your dental chair Instructions for Use.

The bowl rinse function should provide enough water to completely rinse the cuspidor bowl. If the flow is not sufficient, an adjustment can be made inside the support center:

1. Remove the side cover from the support center by pulling the lower edges of the cover out.

2. With the bowl rinse on, squeeze the pinch valve to reduce the flow. Release the valve to increase the flow.

3. For the best rinsing action, adjust the flow pattern by rotating the bowl rinse spout.

A-dec recommends barrier protection for all applicable touch and transfer surfaces. Touch surfaces are areas that come into contact with hands and become potential cross-contamination points during dental procedures. Transfer surfaces are areas that come into contact with instruments and other inanimate objects.

NOTE: For proper use and disposal of barriers, see the barrier manufacturer’s Instructions for Use.

A-dec recommends that you perform a shock treatment on the dental unit waterlines before you use the system for the first time.

For on-going waterline maintenance, A-dec recommends a three-part protocol: continuous use of A-dec ICX® waterline treatment tablets, regular dental unit water monitoring, and shock treatment.

Spouts and Bowl

The contoured spouts and smooth bowl of the cuspidor provide for quick and easy cleaning. Remember to empty and clean the bowl screen every time you clean the cuspidor.

CAUTION: Do not remove the spouts when cleaning the cuspidor. This will help prevent cleaning solutions from damaging the equipment and contaminating the cupfill water.

CAUTION: Do not empty the solids collector screen or bowl screen into the cuspidor. Doing so could plug the cuspidor drain. Dispose of the contents in an appropriate biohazard container according to the regulations specific to your location. After cleaning, always install the bowl screen in the cuspidor bowl to prevent debris from plugging the drain.

Gravity Drain Tubing

At the end of each day, flush the cuspidor to remove debris from the flexible drain tubing. If the cuspidor is not flushed regularly, debris may build up and impair draining. To flush the cuspidor, run the bowl rinse for about 60 seconds.

For replacement cuspidor bowl screens, order p/n 75.0035.03.

The system utilities are located in the contoured floor box under your chair and typically include the electrical outlet, as well as the system hookups for air, water, and vacuum. To access, lift the cover up and off the floor box frame. For maintenance, contact your local authorized A-dec dealer.

CAUTION: When you remove or replace the cover, take care not to damage any wiring or tubing. Verify that the cover is secure after you replace it.

IMPORTANT: For electrical and utility specifications, identification of symbols, and other regulatory requirements, see the Regulatory Information, Specifications, and Warranty document (p/n 86.0221.00).

NOTE: Specifications are subject to change without notice. Requirements may vary depending on your location. For more information, contact your authorized A-dec dealer.
