Cascade 3171 Duo Wall Mount
Your Cascade 3171 Duo Wall Mount
Your Cascade 3171 Duo Wall Mount includes a
handpiece control system and assistant’s
instrumentation. The handpiece control system
is built around A-dec’s Century Plus
system for three handpieces. The system also
includes the A-dec autoclavable syringe.
Handpiece activation is automatic. When you lift
a handpiece from its holder the handpiece
becomes active and will run when you press on
the foot control disc (refer to page 6).
Adjustment keys (see Figure 1) are provided for
your use when making adjustments to the recessed
controls, including; coolant air, coolant water, and
handpiece flush. If the adjustment keys are ever
misplaced, you can use a 1⁄8" hex key. You may
order additional or replacement keys from your
authorized A-dec dealer.

Handpiece Tubing Flush
The handpiece tubing flush 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).
10
Insert an adjustment key or 1⁄8" 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.

Handpiece Dry Block Conversion
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
1. Move the master on/off toggle to the OFF position. Bleed the system water by operating the
syringe and flushing the handpiece tubings.
2. Locate the handpiece control block position
that will be the dry block. Access the control
blocks underneath the control head.
3. Use a 3/32" 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 9).

5. 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.

1. Remove the oil collector jar from the unit and
discard the old gauze (see Figure 10).
2. Fold in quarters a new two inch square gauze
pad and place against the spring inside the jar.
3. Screw the oil collector jar onto the unit. Do not
overtighten.

Wall Mount Adjustments
Wall Mount Unit Leveling
Your wall-mounted unit is leveled during installation
and should not require adjustment. However, if the
unit needs to be leveled, the following procedures will
help you.
Leveling Front-To-Back:
Two leveling setscrews are supplied with the unit.
These will be either in the top or bottom leveling
screw holes (see Figure 15 on page 18).
If the unit tilts forward from the wall (see Figure 15A
on page 18),
1. Place a leveling device on the work surface.
2. Loosen the bottom two mounting screws.
3. Install the leveling setscrews in the bottom two
holes, then tighten them until the unit is level.
4. Retighten the mounting screws.
(continued on page 18)

If the unit tilts toward the wall (see Figure 15B):
1. Place a leveling device on the work surface.
2. Loosen the top two mounting screws.
3. Place the leveling setscrews in the top two
holes, then tighten until the unit is level.
4. Retighten the mounting screws.

Cascade 3171 Duo Wall Mount
Arm Spring Tension
When you move the unit, it should stay where
you place it. If the unit tends to drift up or down,
the tension of the arm’s internal spring needs to
be adjusted.
NOTE
The spring tension should be adjusted with a
“normal” load on the work surface. The brake
on/off toggle should be in the OFF position.
1. Locate the adjustment screw under the arm
(see Figure 16).
1/4" HEX KEY
Figure 16. Arm Spring Tension Adjustment
2. Use a 1⁄4" hex key to make the adjustment.
• If the unit drifts down, turn the screw
clockwise to increase spring tension.
• If the unit drifts up, turn the screw
counterclockwise to decrease spring tension.
19
Cascade 3171 Duo Wall Mount
Arm Brake Adjustment
Adjust arm spring tension prior to arm brake
adjustment (refer to page 18). Retest the brake
after spring adjustment.
The air-actuated arm brake on your wallmounted unit has been set at the factory and
should not need further adjustment. If the
brake does not hold, first check to be sure that
the brake on/off toggle is in the ON position,
and that there is air (at least 60 psi) to the unit.
Refer to your Floor Box Owner’s Guide (A-dec Publication No. 85.2611.00) for complete
air pressure adjustment procedures.
If the brake will not hold, the brake may be too
loose. A brake which is too tight will cause a
screeching or scraping noise as you move the
unit up or down when the brake is not on.
NOTE
20
To adjust the brake:
1. Move the brake on/off toggle to the OFF position.
2. Remove the plug from the access hole on the
left side of the arm (see Figure 17).

4. Locate the adjustment nut under the arm
(see Figure 18).
• To tighten the brake, use a 7/16" open-end wrench
to hold the adjustment nut while you turn the
hex key clockwise
• To loosen the brake, use a 7/16" open-end wrench
to hold the adjustment nut while you turn the
hex key counterclockwise.

Work Surface Leveling
To level your assistant’s unit work surface:
1. Place a leveling device on the work surface.
2.Check for level front-to-back and side-to-side.
3.Locate the four mounting screws found in the
leveling plate on the underside of the work
surface (see Figure 19). Using a 3⁄16" hex key,
loosen but do not remove these screws.

4. Locate the four leveling setscrews (see Figure 19).
Front-to Back Leveling:
Face the work surface handle.
If the work surface tilts toward you, use a 3⁄16" hex
key and tighten the two leveling setscrews closest
to you until the work surface is level.
If the work surface tilts away from you, tighten the
two leveling setscrews furthest away until the
work surface is level.
Side-to-Side Leveling:
Face the work surface handle.
If the work surface tilts to the left, tighten the two
leveling setscrews on the left side of the leveling
plate until the work surface is level.
If the work surface tilts to the right, tighten the two
leveling setscrews on the right side of the leveling
plate until the work surface is level.
5. When you have completed these steps tighten
the four mounting screws, then check the work
surface again for level.
