     CAUTION:
     Some new ADU-17X compressor motors might require a 2-week “break-in” when first used. As a precautionagainst stalling the compressor or possibly blowing the fuses during this break-in period, it is recommended that the foot pedal be removed from the System for approximately 5 minutes before each initial daily startup, during the first 2 weeks of use.
     WARNING:
     Always operate a high-speed handpiece with water coolant. Operating a high- speed handpiece without water coolant can cause thermal injury to the patient and damage the handpiece. Consult the handpiece manufacturer’s instructions for additional information.

3. CONTINUOUS RUN MODE:

   • A. Turn the Run Mode Switch on the front of the Fan Housing to the “CONTINUOUS” position.
   • B. The unit will pressurize and all four system components (Handpiece, 3-Way Syringe, HVE, and Saliva Ejector) will activate. The Foot Switch is not functional.

4. Turn Handpiece Switch On and adjust air pressure and water coolant flow to the desired settings (See Fig. 7). (Turn the water coolant control knob clockwise to decrease flow, or counterclockwise to increase flow.)

5. Use the 3-Way Air/Water Syringe as necessary for irrigation or drying.

6. Adjust the vacuum pressure by moving the valves on both the HVE and saliva ejector vacuum heads.

7. Empty the Vacuum Waste Tank when it is 3/4 full.

STERILIZATION AND MAINTENANCE

Because of its simple design, the Aseptico ADU-17X Express II requires very little maintenance. Any maintenance that is needed can be performed in minutes.

BLEEDING THE SYSTEM
If the unit will not be used for an extended period of time, or the unit might be subjected to freezing conditions, you should bleed the system. Simply empty the contents of the water supply tank and install the tank back into the cap. Operate the air/water syringe and handpiece with water coolant ‘ON’ until just air comes through the water line. Pack unit and store as normal.

HANDPIECE FLUSH
Flush the handpiece for about 5 seconds after every patient, and about 20 seconds at the beginning of each day.

GENERAL CLEANING
The external surfaces of the case should be cleaned using a soft cloth moistened with a mild detergent solution. Any external surfaces of the unit that are contacted during use should be wiped down with a soft cloth moistened with a disinfectant at the beginning of each day and between each patient use.

WATER LINES
Disinfect the water lines weekly. Prepare a 1:10 bleach solution (1 part household bleach to 9 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.

VACUUM SYSTEM
The HVE and Saliva Ejector Valves are fully autoclavable. Remove the valves from the hoses before autoclaving. The vacuum hoses should not be autoclaved. Clean hoses with a disinfectant solution. CAUTION: Use only NON-foaming
cleansers in the vaccum lines.

SYRINGE TIPS
The ADU-17X unit features a three-way air/water syringe with 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. 8). 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 be bagged with a disposable, singleuse plastic sleeve between each patient use.
   This device requires periodic maintenance to remove dust in and around the compressor every 12 months or if accumulations are seen. The fan on the unit vents air from inside the device to the outside. With the unit operating, use compressed air to spray into the intake vents and blow dust out of the unit.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Unit will not start

Check system’s power connection.
Turn Run Mode Switch to “Continuous” or “Foot Switch” Mode and begin operation.
Check that voltage selector module is set for source voltage.
Check fuse. If blown, replace with 6A/125V medium time delay fuse for 120V operation, or a 4A/250V slo- blo fuse for 230V operation.
Unit starts but blows fuse
Check that voltage selector module is set for source voltage.
Check vacuum waste container. If full, immediately empty to continue operation.
Check vacuum hose assembly for blockage.
Check that fuse is correct for source voltage.
No water coming out
Check water supply tank for water level and verify that cap is tight.
Depress foot switch for 5+ sec. to pressurize supply tank.
Ensure the handpiece air control knob is not open (turned clockwise) all the way.
Insufficient vacuum
Check vacuum waste container. If full, immediately empty to continue operation.
Check vacuum hose assembly for blockage.
Check that waste container lid is properly seated and tightly secured.
Insufficient handpiece operation
Check that handpiece ON/OFF toggle is “ON”.
Check that handpiece coolant ON/OFF toggle is “ON”.
Check that air control valve is turned up adequately.
Check that handpiece tubing is untangled and not crimped.
Check handpiece connection for missing gasket.
Compressor makes a chugging sound and does not start up properly
Check for sufficient power source and avoid long light-grade extension cords (Refer to Figure 8 Exten- sion Cord Recommendations).

EXTENSION CORD RECOMMENDATIONS

Use only a 3-wire extension cord that has a 3-blade grounding plug. Connect extension cord plug to a matching 3-slot receptacle. Ensure that the extension cord is in good condition and that its gage wire is the correct size wire to carry the current this product will draw. An undersized cord is a potential fire hazard and will cause a drop in line voltage, resulting in loss of power and causing the product to overheat. Figure 9 indicates the correct size cord for the length required and the ampere rating listed on the product nameplate. If in doubt, use the next heavier gage cord. The smaller the gage number, the heavier the wire gage.
