PACE factory specifications) or the temperature setting normally used by the operator.  If 
the temperature displayed on temperature meter is within ±15°C (27°F), perform steps 4 
thru 6 to obtain a precise reading.  If the temperature is off by more than ±15°C, the 
handpiece may require maintenance.  Recheck the temperature using a 
second handpiece.

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.
