PREPARATION FOR USE
1. Plug the electrical line cord into the electrical outlet. If the unit is already on, switch
the unit off by depressing the O key.
2. If the optional footswitch is used, insert the footswitch plug into the jack located
on the rear panel. Make sure that the plug is inserted all the way in.
3. Screw the booster into the converter and secure forcefully with the spanner
wrenches provided.
4. Using the spanner wrenches provided, forcefully secure the booster to the probe.
5. Mount the converter/probe assembly in a stand. Secure the clamp to the
converter housing only. Do not secure the clamp to the probe.
6. Connect the converter cable to the power supply.
7. Connect either one of the air fittings on top of the converter to a source of dry
compressed air.
CAUTION
Never place a washer between the converter,
booster or probe. Never apply grease to the
mating surfaces or threads of the converter,
booster or probe.
CAUTION
Do not operate an Ultrasonic Processor that has
been in a very cold or hot environment for a
prolonged period of time. Wait until it has
reached room temperature
NOTE
Should it become necessary to remove a probe, use the wrenches
supplied. If the probe has been attached to the converter for a long
period of time it might be necessary to use a vise. Be sure the vise has
soft jaws or other means to prevent scratching. Secure the wide diameter
portion of the probe in the jaws of the vise. Never grip the converter in
the vise. Using a wrench, twist the converter off the probe. A tap of a
hammer may be applied to the end of the wrench. Never attempt to
remove the probe by twisting the converter housing, as this may damage
the electrical connections within the housing.
