• Check the voltage and line safety first before starting the dental unit, keep the voltage stable at 220V±11V.
• Check the water line and water pressure, whether the air pressure of air compressor reaches the standard value; the water pressure is 200Kpa-400Kpa. the air pressure should not be lower than 500kpa.
• Before turning on the dental unit, drain the water for 2 minutes to avoid the dirty water settling in the pipe.
• After turning on the dental unit, flush the inside of the hose of apparatus like dental handpieces and the pilot system for 2 minutes first.

Something important

• Rinse the inside of the suction hoses and the suction system by pumping one cup of water per hose. Purpose: To ensure that the dental chair remains in optimal working condition and provides a strong guarantee for therapeutic use.
