Owner's Guide, (A-dec Publication No. 85.2627.00).
The foot control modulates drive air to the active handpiece, and provides an air signal that turns on coolant air and coolant water flow. The foot control is operated by light foot pressure applied to any part of the foot control disc.
The foot control is equipped with a wet/dry toggle and, optionally, a chip blower button (see Figure 6).
If the unit is equipped with the optional Cascade Master Series touch pad, the standard Cascade Master foot control will not have a wet/dry toggle. The coolant water (wet/dry) on/off control is located on the Master touch pad for better accessibility.

Your Cascade handpiece control system is equipped with A-dec’s handpiece tubing flush system. The system flushes more water through the tubings in less time than is normally possible when operating the foot control only. The handpieces should not be connected when flushing the tubings.
How Often Should the Handpiece Tubings be Flushed?
After Each Patient:
Flush the tubings for about 20–30 seconds.
At the Beginning of Each Day:
Flush the tubings for 2–3 minutes.
Flushing the Handpiece Tubings
Gather up all the handpiece tubings that use coolant water and hold them over a sink, cuspidor bowl or basin. Be sure you hold the tubings so that the water will be directed away from you and into the receptacle (see Figure 7).
Insert an adjustment key or 1⁄8-inch hex key into the handpiece tubing flush control on the side of the control head. Push in and hold the key for the appropriate time required, either for flushing between patients or flushing at the beginning of each day, depending on the situation. Remove the key and replace the tubings in their holders. Be careful to replace each in the proper holder.

Cascade Traditional Handpiece Control System
Your Cascade handpiece control system has one to four handpiece control blocks with coolant water to the handpiece. In some cases a control block without coolant water, a dry block, is required. If you require a dry block (offering NO water to the handpiece) on your handpiece control system, a dry block conversion kit has been included with your system.
Installing the Dry Block Conversion Kit
• Move the master on/off toggle to the OFF position. Bleed the system water by operating the syringe and flushing the handpiece tubings.
• Locate the handpiece control block position that will be the dry block. Access the control blocks underneath the control head.
• Use a 3/32-inch hex key to remove the large red cartridge from the control block. Install the large black cartridge from the dry block conversion kit into the control block (see Figure 8).
• Use a 3/32-inch hex key to remove the small blue cartridge from the same control block. Install the small black cartridge from the dry block conversion kit into the control block (see Figure 8).
• Turn your handpiece control system ON, then check the function of the dry block handpiece conversion. A small amount of residual water may be discharged from the

handpiece tubing but should dry after a few seconds.
The oil collector on your unit needs to be changed once a week for normal usage. Change more often for heavier use.
Remove the oil collector jar from the unit and
discard the old gauze (refer to Figure 9).
Fold in quarters a new two-inch square
gauze pad and place against the spring inside the jar.
Screw the oil collector jar onto the unit. Do
not overtighten.

The syringe included with your Cascade Handpiece Control System is A-dec’s Autoclavable Syringe, featuring a three-way air and water system and a patented quick-disconnect autoclavable tip system.
The operation, care, and maintenance of the
syringe are discussed in detail in your
Autoclavable Syringe Owner’s Guide (A-dec Publication No. 85.0680.00).
For maximum flexibility in tray positioning, the optional tray holder can be rotated a full 360°, and the tray arm can be pivoted to either side of center (see Figure 10).The optional tray holder should be adjusted so that it rotates easily, yet maintains its position while instruments are removed and replaced.

A-dec’s flexible arm system is designed for side delivery and over-the-patient delivery of the handpiece control. The arm allows vertical and horizontal positioning of the control head to suit your practice.
The arm is braked against vertical movement until you release the arm brake (refer to page 6). If the arm tends to rise or drop when the brake is released, refer to the adjustment instructions below.
The flexible arm contains a spring that counterbalances the weight of the control head. The arm also contains a friction mechanism to stabilize the arm at the upper and lower extremes of its vertical arc.
If the arm tends to rise or drop when the arm brake is released, the counterbalance spring needs adjustment.
1. Remove the flexible vinyl cover from the
underside of the arm (see Figure 12). Gently pull the tubing and wiring in the arm slightly aside.
