CONTENTS
Serial number location, service information,
and warranty information are located on the
inside of the front cover and front page.
Your Cascade Traditional-style Handpiece
Control System is an arm-mounted control, built
around A-dec’s Century Plus
®
control system for
three handpieces. The control system can
accommodate up to four handpieces. The control
system includes A-dec’s autoclavable syringe; and
may also be equipped with an optional built-in
ultrasonic scaler, low voltage water heater/heated
syringe tubing, tooth dryer, electric handpiece,
curing light, and intra-oral light source.
Handpiece activation is automatic. When you
lift a handpiece from its holder, the handpiece
becomes active; allowing it to run when you
press on the foot control disc.
Five autoclavable adjustment keys (see
Figure 1) are provided for your use when making
adjustments to the recessed controls. If the
adjustment keys are ever lost or misplaced, you
can use a 1⁄8-inch hex key instead.

CAUTION
The MASTER ON/OFF TOGGLE
should be in the OFF (O) position
whenever the unit IS NOT in use.
This will prevent the possibility of
water damage should a leak occur
while the unit is unattended.
Making sure the unit is OFF will also
prevent the possibility of self-activation
and the resulting burn-out of your
electrical accessories.
Drive Air Pressure Control.
Used to adjust the drive air
pressure to each handpiece.
Turn the control
counterclockwise until your
handpiece is running at
slightly above the specified
maximum pressure; then, turn
the control until the handpiece
is running at the handpiece
manufacturer’s specified
maximum pressure.
Coolant Air Flow Control.
Used to adjust coolant air flow
to all handpieces. Turn the
control clockwise to decrease
the flow, counterclockwise to
increase. When turned fully
clockwise, air flow is turned off.
Coolant Water Flow
Controls. Used to adjust the
flow of coolant water to each
handpiece. Turn the control
clockwise to decrease the flow,
counterclockwise to increase.
Handpiece Tubing Flush
Control. Used to flush system
water through all the
handpiece tubings. Refer to page
10 for complete handpiece tubing
flush instructions.
