6.0 Troubleshooting
6.1 Basic Troubleshooting Guide
The following information is not intended to isolate every problem that could arise with the dental system. It is, however,
designed to help you quickly identify problems, many of which can be repaired without any special equipment or training.
6.2 Troubleshooting the Delivery Unit
The system should be maintained and given proper care. If something does go wrong, the information contained herein
explains what can be done prior to arranging for or attempting repairs. Additional information may be available in sections
covering the individual components.
Handpiece or instrument does not Operate
- Verify the lock out lever on side of the holder is pointing straight down to the floor.
- Make sure the correct adjustment stem on the control block portion for that handpiece has been opened to allow air to
flow to the handpiece or activation switch for electric instruments.
not enough Pressure to the Handpiece
- Low pressure from compressor or regulator in junction box. Check air tank pressure gauge. Ensure 75psi prior to
adjusting handpiece block.
- Make sure the correct adjustment stem on the control block portion for that handpiece has been opened.
- Ensure that the exhaust air tubes and oil mist recovery jar are allowing the air to exhaust freely.
- Diaphragm(s) in control block needs to be replaced (P/N 95-0215 see section for complete list of control block part
numbers).
- Verify that there is no kinked exhaust tubing to the oil mist recovery jar or any obstructions such as cotton two by twos
in the exhaust port of the jar lid.
- Check to be sure the handpiece gaskets are secure. These are located on the back end of the handpiece or the swivel
coupler. The handpiece tubing nut also needs to be firmly tightened onto the handpiece in order to seal against this
gasket.
- Make sure the bulkhead gasket is secure where it connects to the delivery system and there are no cracks.
- Check for kinks in the foot control tubing. The air that runs the handpiece is coming all the way from the foot control.
Any kinks or bends can restrict the air and limit the pressure.
- A worn out handpiece consumes more air to operate than a new one. Check to see if the turbine is the problem by
switching to another handpiece and checking the pressure.
Air or Water coming out of Handpieces When Hung Up
- Diaphragm(s) in the control block are worn or have holes. Replace the diaphragm(s) (P/N 95-0215 see section for
complete list of control block part numbers).
- Oil Mist Recovery Jar exhaust line is clogged. Free the obstruction.
