Handpiece Vacuum/Pressure - Pace ST 115 Operation & Maintenance Manual

Handpiece Vacuum/Pressure

To set up your Sodr-X-Tractor air hose connection, perform the following steps:
1. Air Hose To Handpiece Connection
a) Attach one end of a 137cm (54 inch) length of air hose to the metal
tube in the back of the handpiece.
b) If you have a PACE system incorporating only one handpiece, attach
the air hose to the power cable using the supplied Hose Clamps.
Space them evenly along the length of the power cable starting at a
point 6 inches from the ends of the handpiece.
c) If you have a PACE system incorporating 2 or more air handpieces,
you may wish to leave the air hose assembly unattached to allow a
quick change to any air handpiece being used.
2. Prepare a VisiFilter in the following manner:
a) Connect a 1 inch (2.5cm) length of clear pvc air hose to
the FLOW OUT side of the VisiFilter; push and turn
the hose onto the VisiFilter nipple to seat.
b) Insert the ribbed end of a male quick connect hose
mount fitting (P/N 1259-0087) into the free end of
the 1 inch (2.5cm) length of air hose connected to
the FLOW OUT side of the VisiFilter.
c) Connect the free end of the 137cm (54 inch) length of
air hose to the FLOW IN side of the VisiFilter.
d) Insert the end of the quick connect hose mount
fitting (on VisiFilter FLOW OUT side) into the
power source Vacuum Port.
3. When using air pressure, and/or utilizing multiple air
handpieces, PACE recommends the use of the following set up procedure
which utilizes additional quick connect hose mount fittings. An
assortment of quick connect air fittings are supplied with each additional
air handpiece.
a) Disconnect the 137cm (54 inch) length of air hose from the FLOW IN side of
the VisiFilter assembly. Insert the ribbed end of a male quick connect hose
mount fitting (P/N 1259-0087) into the free end of this air hose.
b) Connect the free end of a 1 inch (2.5cm) length of air hose with an
installed female quick connect hose mount fitting (P/N 1259-0086) to
the FLOW IN side of the VisiFilter Assembly.
