  10. MOTOR BULB – The motor light bulb may become dirty in the autoclave and require cleaning or replacement. NOTE: Do not handle bulb with bare fingers. To remove bulb, unscrew bulb cover from end of motor housing. Insert dental pick or other small pointed instrument into guide hole at base of bulb (Fig. 8). Slide bulb forward until disconnected from socket in motor housing. Wipe bulb with clean soft cloth. Reinstall bulb with guide hole facing outward. Carefully guide the bulb’s contact pins back into their respective socket holes.

  11. MOTOR O-RINGS – Replace motor O-rings when worn or damaged (Fig. 7). Gently peel old O-ring out of groove and replace with new ring (PN 520069). Occasionally apply rubber compatible lubricant to O-rings to maintain flexibility.

  12. WATER LINES – Disinfect the water lines weekly. Prepare a 1:10 bleach solution (1 part household bleach to 10 parts water). Remove water reservoir and discard residual water. Replace empty water supply tank and air purge all waterlines. Fill water supply tank with bleach solution. Run bleach solution through all lines. Allow bleach solution to stand in lines for 10 minutes. Remove water supply tank and discard bleach. Flush water supply tank and all lines thoroughly with clean water. Air purge and leave lines dry until next clinical use.

  13. SYRINGE TIPS – The Three-Way Air/Water Syringe features quick-change autoclavable tips: To remove a tip, press on the locking collar surrounding the tip socket and pull the used tip straight out of the socket (see Fig. 9). To insert a new tip, press locking collar and push tip into socket as far as it will go. Release collar and gently tug on tip before using to ensure that tip is securely locked into socket.

Syringe Tip Sterilization:

  1. Remove contaminated syringe tip.
  2. Remove all visible signs of contamination before autoclaving.
  3. Autoclave tip at 132° C (270° F) for ten minutes.
  4. Sterilize between each patient use.

NOTE : Since only the tips can be autoclaved, it is recommended that the Air/Water Syringe

CHARGING THE BATTERY PACKS

  1. There are three methods for charging the bat-tery packs: The first method is through an AC source, the second method is through a vehicle battery (DC source) and the third method is through the solar panel. The system is de-signed to charge while the instrument is in use.

  2. Charging the Pack From an AC Source –Attach the appropriate cable for the AC source to the AC power receptacle on the chassis. Attach the battery pack cable assembly to
    the battery pack receptacle on the chassis and to the desired battery pack (We recom-mend connecting the battery pack cable to the chassis first and then to the battery pack and disconnecting in this reverse order to avoid the possibility of shorting the pins). Turn on both the power switch and the DC switch. If the battery is less than 28 VDC, the system will automatically start charging the battery (the charge button LED will come on), otherwise a continuous trickle charge will take place as long as AC power is available. The battery charging process can be manually stopped or restarted by pressing the charge button. The system will automatically stop charging when the pack is charged (the charge button LED will go out). See IMPORTANT Note on the next Page.

  3.  Charging From Vehicle Battery (DC source)

  4. Attach the vehicle battery cable to the vehicle battery DC power receptacle on the chassis. Attach the battery pack cable assembly to
    the battery pack receptacle on the chassis and to the desired battery pack (We recom-mend connecting the battery pack cable to the chassis first and then to the battery pack and disconnecting in this reverse order to avoid the possibility of shorting the pins). Turn on the DC switch. If the battery is less than 28 VDC, the system will automatically start charging the battery (the charge button LED will come on), otherwise a continuous trickle charge will take place as long as DC power is available. The battery charging process can be manually stopped or restarted by pressing the charge button. The system will automatically stop charging when the pack is charged (the charge button LED will go out). See IMPORTANT Note on the next Page.
    NOTE : When operating the system from a vehicle battery, only the DC switch needs to be turned on. It is not necessary to turn on the chassis power switch.

  5. Solar Panel Charging – Solar panel charging is independent of the chassis. The solar panel is attached directly to the battery pack at the receptacle marked “Solar Panel” (see below). Charging a pack with the solar panel takes between 13-16 hours.
    NOTE : The charge button and LED are not used when charging from the Solar Panel.

NOTE : When not powering the system from a battery pack or charging a battery pack, it is recommended that the operator disconnect the battery pack cable assembly from the pack. This prevents battery drain.

NOTE : A battery fault indication can occur due to temperature, voltage, or charging errors. A brief battery fault indication will also occur when a battery is connected or disconnected. If the fault light comes on, wait a momen0t to confirm indication before troubleshooting (see troubleshooting guide).

IMPORTANT : The Battery Packs include a built-in thermal cutoff to protect the Packs from overheating when charging. If the battery charger shuts Off before a Pack is fully charged, allow 15 minutes for the Pack to cool down, prior to recharging. When charging both Packs, allow 30 minutes of instrument cooling time between Packs.
