Controls
Holders
This section provides information related to the servicing, maintenance, and adjustment of handpiece controls. Detail on how to service control heads, control blocks, and troubleshoot specific problems related to them is presented.
Additional information covered in this section includes assembly, service, and maintenance information for A-dec handpiece holders. Flow diagrams, replacement part information, and troubleshooting tips are presented.
Making Handpiece Control Adjustments
Location of Control Adjustments
The control adjustments for the handpiece flush control, drive air pressure, coolant air flow, and coolant water flow are located on the side of the control head.
Operators Adjustments
Use the adjustment key to make adjustments, with the exception of the drive air pressure. The adjustment key
will not fit the drive air control ports. This was done to prevent unintentional changes to drive air settings. To adjust the drive air, use a 3/32" hex key.

2Run the handpiece at medium speed.
3 Adjust the coolant air by turning the key counterclockwise (until a fine mist is
visible around the bur).
Follow these steps to adjust the drive air using a 3/32" hex key.
Task Description
1 Install the handpiece on a drive air pressure gauge.
2 Locate drive air control for the handpiece being adjusted and insert the hex key.
3Install the handpiece gauge on the coupler.
4Move the foot control’s wet/dry toggle to OFF (away from blue dot) and fully depress the foot
control cover.
5Turn the drive air control counterclockwise until the handpiece is running slightly above
the manufacturer’s specified drive air pressure, then turn clockwise until it is at the specified pressure.

2Tighten the tension setscrew until it comes
to a stop. Then tighten it an additional quarter turn (20 - 24 inch pounds).
NOTE: It is important to repeat step two. Loosen
the setscrew and repeat the step twice. This will ensure the setscrew is seated.
3Check flexarm tension and adjust the setscrew
to achieve the desired result.
Follow these points to adjust the retaining/ alignment setscrew.
•Tighten the retaining alignment setscrew until it passes through the opening of the bushing and presses against the knuckle.
Loosen the setscrew a quarter turn.
NOTE: The brass colored tip on the end of the
retaining alignment setscrew shouldn’t touch the knuckle when loosened a quarter turn.

1Verify spring washers are installed between the whip assembly(ies) and mounting
posts. If missing, install them between the whip assemblies and the whip mounting posts (see Continental Whip).
2Add washers to both sides of the wheel assembly(ies).
•Remove the button-head screw from the appropriate pin and post.
•Slide the pin away from the whip assembly.
•Install the spring washer between the wheel and post with curved side toward the whip assembly (see Continental Whip).
•Slide the pin into the pin opening in the whip assembly. Secure the pin with the screw removed above.
Repeat for each whip assembly with whisker valve actuation. If this does not resolve the problem, go to step 3.
3 Inspect the air bleed valves and replace those that are defective.
4Test the whip assemblies with the control head cover in place. Make sure
the handpieces activate and deactivate as the whip assembly is pulled and released.
Tips and troubleshooting information are listed in the following charts to assist in diagnosing handpiece control problems. These charts are not intended to cover every situation, but do include the most common problems you may encounter.

Problem Action
Whip assemblies don’t move freely or interfere with cover
Water leaks from the water vent hole on control blocks
Check for an improperly aligned mounting bracket. Slightly loosen the two screws securing the assembly in place (underside of control head). Do not remove the cover. Move the whip assembly until it moves freely.
Follow these steps to check for water leaks.
Task Descriptions
1Check for a failed water valve cartridge
determine which block is leaking
exchange the water valve cartridge with a known good one, and
test the unit.
2 If the water leakage has stopped, replace the failed water valve cartridge. Retest the unit and
make sure there are no more leaks. If water is still leaking, continue with step 3.
3 Remove the water flow adjustment stem from the control block and inspect the o-ring and stem.
Replace defective parts and test the unit. If water is still leaking, continue with step 4.
4Check for a leaking valve stem
•Tighten the valve stem to make sure it’s not leaking and test the unit.
If the valve stem is still leaking, exchange it with a known good one and test the unit.
If the water leakage has stopped, replace the failed valve stem cartridge.
•Test the unit.
5Check for loose tie bolts.

Problem Action
Coolant water is leaking from one handpiece control block
Follow these steps to check if coolant water is leaking.
Task Descriptions
1 Remove the valve stem from the control block and inspect the o-ring and stem.
2Replace defective parts and test the unit. If water is still leaking, continue with step 3.
3Check for a leaking valve stem
•Tighten the valve stem to make sure its not leaking. Test the unit.
If the valve stem still leaks, exchange the cartridge with a known good one. Retest the unit.
Air or water leakage from one of the valve assemblies
Air or water leakage from the syringe nut assembly
No air and/or water from the syringe
Replace the valve assemblies.
Check the following steps to stop leakage from the syringe nut assembly.
•Make sure the syringe nut assembly is properly installed and tightened. Use a 5/32" hex key to tighten.
•Replace o-rings, and syringe nut assembly.
Check the following steps to fix the syringe.
Check to make sure the master On/Off toggle and the air and water supplies are turned ON.
Check tubing for kinks or breaks.
