Before you begin:
• Clear the room of all debris and thoroughly clean the floors.
• Check that manual air and water shut-offs are installed.
• Purge any debris from air and water lines.
• Check with local building and code authorities about installation
requirements. They differ from state to state and internationally.
Your installation may not require all components described in this document.
Before you begin:

over the screw near the base of the
mount.
NOTE If you have a post mount
system, the support center post
installs into a chair adaptor
instead of the chair-base mount
and the post does not have
notches in the bottom.
WARNIN G If you’re installing a
post mount system, anchoring
the chair to the floor is required
for mechanical stability. Failure
to anchor properly could result
in damage, serious injury, or
death.
Figure 14. Install the Support Center Post
If the support center is installed to the
left of the patient, face the square hole
away from the chair. If the support center
is installed to the right of the patient, face
the square hole toward the chair.
2. Place a level vertically against the post
and align it with the four leveling screws
near the top of the chair-base mount.
NOTE If you have a post mount
system on an A-dec 511 chair, the
chair adaptor has eight leveling
screws.

align the level with the screws you are
adjusting.
4. Once the post is level, evenly tighten the
leveling screws to secure it.
NOTE This is the initial leveling of
the post. The system requires a final
level after everything is installed.
For final leveling instructions, see
“Level the System” on page 77.

1. Wrap the support center tubing bundle
around your arm and lift the support
center out of the box.
2. Remove the covers from the support
center.
3. Place the support center over the support
center post with the water bottle
connection toward the toe of the chair.
CAUTION Be careful to clear all
wires and tubing so they stay on
the open side of the support
center frame and do not get
pinched or kinked.
4. Slide the support center down the post
until its frame rests on the support
screws on the support center post.

5. Align the support center depending on
the configuration of the system:
○ If you have an A-dec 300 system that
includes a cuspidor, align the support
center so the positioning guide clears
the armrest. Use the jumper and test
points to move the chair up and down
when testing clearance.
WARNIN G The positioning
guide must clear the armrest to
provide the proper clearance of
1-1/8" (29 mm) between the
cuspidor bowl and armrest.
○ If you have a base mount system
without a cuspidor, or a post mount
system, align the support center so it
is parallel to the dental chair.

tightened, use approximately
13 ft-lb. (1.8 m-kgs) of torque.
NOTE If you have a post mount
system, you are finished
installing the support center.
Skip to the note after step 9 for
instructions on routing tubing
and wiring.
7. Use a 5/16" hex key driver to install each
of the two 1-1/2" socket head screws
until they are touching the back of the
holes in the support center post.
8. Alternately tighten both socket head
screws until they are firmly secure (use
approximately 13 ft-lb.
[1.8 m-kgs] of torque). While tightening
the screws, ensure the positioning guide
retains its clearance of the armrest.
9. Route the support center tubing and
wiring through the chair-base mount into
the utilities area at the base of the chair.

For information about installing
the remote floor box, see “Install

page 39.
CAUTION Once you’ve completed
installing the support center, verify
that the end of the cuspidor
ventilation tube is 1/2" (13 mm)
above the support center frame.
This ensures that the cuspidor
drains properly.
