Cascade 7284 and Radius 7285 Cuspidor
About Your Cuspidor
The cuspidor is equipped with a timer for the
bowl rinse. This timer can be adjusted to increase
or decrease the length of time water flows into
the bowl.
The cuspidor comes standard with an
automatically timed cup fill.
On most units, the cuspidor on/off function is
controlled by the master on/off toggle on the
Cascade control head. For cuspidor only units, the
cuspidor on/off function is controlled by the on/off
toggle on the post box (Cascade 7284 only).

Gravity Drain Cleaning
At the end of each day, flush the drain to remove
debris which can collect in the flexible drain
tubing. If the drain is not flushed regularly, debris
may build up and impair cuspidor draining. To
flush the drain, raise the chair to its highest
position and run the bowl rinse several times, long
enough so that water flows down the drain for
about 60 seconds.
Caution
Do not empty the solids collector screen into your
cuspidor. Doing so could plug the cuspidor drain.

Cleaning the Cuspidor
Caution
Clean the cuspidor with the contoured water spout in
place. This will help prevent cleaning solutions from
causing potential equipment damage and
contamination of the water flowing to the cup.
The cuspidor is designed for quick and easy
cleaning. The contoured spouts and the smooth
cuspidor housing help facilitate more complete
cleaning. When cleaning, do not remove the
contoured water spout (see Figure 4). Also remember
to empty and clean the bowl screen.
Caution
Do not empty the bowl screen into your cuspidor.
Doing so could plug the cuspidor drain.
