When service is eventually required, the standard design and readily available replacement parts make repairs straightforward and cost-effective, minimizing equipment downtime and extending the overall service life of the investment.

Installation & Maintenance Guide

Step-by-Step Installation Instructions

Proper installation is essential for optimal performance and longevity of your foot control. Follow these detailed instructions carefully, and refer to the complete PDF installation guide for additional technical information and diagrams.

STEP 1: Power Down the System

Turn the delivery unit completely off before beginning any installation work. This critical safety step prevents accidental handpiece activation during the installation process and protects both the technician and the equipment from potential damage. Ensure all air pressure is released from the system before proceeding.

STEP 2: Document Existing Connections

Carefully note where each line of your existing wet/dry foot control is connected before disconnecting anything. Take photographs or create a detailed diagram showing which tubing connects to which port in the junction box and delivery unit. This documentation is invaluable for ensuring correct reconnection and troubleshooting any issues that may arise during installation.

STEP 3: Prepare the Tubing

Split the foot control tubing into separate lines, carefully trimming any excess length with a sharp knife to achieve clean, square cuts. Avoid ragged edges that could interfere with proper sealing. Measure carefully to ensure adequate length for routing while minimizing excess that could kink or create clutter in the operatory.

STEP 4: Identify Tubing Functions

The large ribbed tubing connects to the source of air in the junction box. The large non-ribbed tubing connects to the unit for drive air delivery. The two small tubings connect to the unit for air coolant and an air signal to activate the water coolant. Proper identification of each line is critical for correct system operation.

STEP 5: Connect Large Tubings First

Begin by connecting the large ribbed and non-ribbed tubings to their respective ports. Ensure secure connections that won't leak under pressure. These primary air lines must be correctly connected for the system to function properly. Double-check
