About Your Cascade Post Box
The Cascade Post Box (see Figure 1) contains utility
connections between the floor box and other A-dec
products such as the control head, foot control, light,
cuspidor, or assistant's instrumentation. The leveling
mechanism is also housed within the post box.
Depending on the options chosen, the post box may
also contain a solids separator, a recessed location for
a self-contained water system and quick disconnect
(QD) outlets for the hydrocolloid, air, or scaler.

The type and number of connections depend on the
options you have selected. Connections may
include those from the floor box to a dental light,
the cuspidor safety switch, an intra-oral light source
handpiece, a low voltage water heater/heated
syringe tubing, a curing light, or a scaler. If your
unit has the touch control, the connection from the
chair to the touch control on the control head will
be located on this side.
Some international units have a larger size post

Leveling Adjustment
Your post box should be leveled during installation.
However, if adjustment becomes necessary, remove
the side cover (refer to page 3). Then proceed as follows:
1. Using a 15⁄16-inch open end or socket
wrench, loosen the center bolt (see Figure 7)
approximately three turns so the post box
will wobble.
2. Place a magnetic bubble level on the post.
Move the level so that you check the level
parallel and perpendicular to the chair.

3. Using a 3⁄16-inch hex key, adjust the three
setscrews (see Figure 8) until the unit is level.
Make sure the setscrews are adjusted so all
three contact the thrust washer located
between the bottom of the post box and the
unit mount.
4. Tighten the center bolt so it is snug and the
spring washer (see Figure 8) is flattened. When
properly adjusted, the post box will be level
and will not wobble.

Side Cover Adjustment
The side covers on your post box should be
adjusted at the time of installation. If the covers
become too loose or too tight, you may adjust
them. To make the adjustment, remove the side
cover (refer to page 3) and locate the adjustment
brackets (see Figure 9).
10
Figure 9. Side Cover Adjustment
Visually determine how much of an adjustment
is needed. Use a 1⁄8-inch hex key to loosen the
screws on the side adjustment (see Figure 9), slide
the bracket to the proper position and retighten
the screw.
Use a Phillips screw driver to loosen the screws on
the bottom of the front bracket (see Figure 9), slide
the bracket to the proper position and retighten
the screws.
