Model 8500 Instruction Manual
Care and Maintenance
Your Whip Mix articulator is a sturdily constructed instrument that will provide many
years of service with reasonable care. Both the upper and lower members are made
of cast aluminum. All aluminum parts are anodized to prevent corrosion or staining.
The condyle elements and the condylar guidance assemblies are of stainless steel.
•
A thin film of lubricant or silicone spray applied to the surfaces
upon which the condylar elements move will provide a smooth
action of these parts.
• Failing to remove excess stone, or not keeping the articulator clean
may result in corrosion of articulator surfaces.
• Apply silicone spray to articulator frame to prevent plaster or stone
from sticking to surfaces.
Failure to follow these instructions will void your warranty.
