Warranty

Warranty: A-dec warrants all products in this owner's guide against defects in material or workmanship for one year from time of delivery. A-dec's sole obligation under the warranty is to provide parts for the repair, or at its option, to provide the replacement product (excluding labor). The buyer shall have no other remedy. All special, incidental, and coincidental damages are excluded. Written notice of breach of warranty must be given to A-dec within the warranty period. The warranty does not cover damage resulting from improper installation or maintenance, accident or misuse. The warranty does not cover damage resulting from the use of cleaning, disinfecting or sterilization chemicals and processes. The warranty also does not cover light bulbs. Failure to follow instructions provided in the A-dec owner's guide (operation and maintenance instructions) may void the warranty. A-dec warrants A-dec dental chair cylinders, both lift and tilt, for ten years from the date of purchase of the chair or the cylinder. This warranty is retroactive to A-dec chair cylinders already in the field. The warranty covers chair cylinders A-dec finds to have manufacturing related irregularities. Stool cylinders are covered under A-dec's one-year warranty. NO OTHER WARRANTIES AS TO MERCHANTABILITY OR OTHERWISE ARE MADE.

Decade 1011/1021 Chair Return Policy: U.S. and Canadian dealers wishing to return overstock (unopened) merchandise to A-dec for credit consideration must include a copy of the original invoice number. A return authorization form from an A-dec Territory Manager must be included with serial numbered equipment or A-dec/W&H handpieces. A 15% restocking fee will be assessed. Merchandise that cannot be returned for credit includes parts assembled to the dental unit, chair, light, or dental furniture; obsolete parts; and specials. Dental furniture cannot be returned for credit. Standard color upholstery ordered for obsolete chairs or stools cannot be returned for credit. In the case of a defective warranty item, a copy of the replacement invoice, serial number of the unit under which it was replaced, and a description of the symptoms of the defect must be returned with the part to: A-dec Inc. 2601 Crestview Drive, Newberg, Oregon 97132, USA.

Decade 1011/1021 Chair Equipment Alterations Policy: Certain modifications or alterations of A-dec equipment which expand the use of A-dec equipment beyond its design and intent, or which override any safety features of A-dec equipment may jeopardize doctor, patient or staff safety. Field modifications that alter the electrical and/or mechanical safety of A-dec dental devices are in conflict with Underwriters Laboratory (UL) construction file requirements and are not sanctioned by A-dec. Examples of field modifications that diminish safety design include, but are not limited to, rendering access to the line voltage without the use of tools, modification of supporting elements that increase or shift loading characteristics, and the addition of any powered device that exceeds the design limits of the dental system. The use of accessory equipment not complying with the equivalent safety requirements of A-dec equipment may lead to a reduced level of safety of the resulting system. It is the responsibility of the equipment distributor and the installer to assure that the installation complies with all building code requirements. The responsibility to determine whether a modification or alteration of A-dec equipment falls within these constraints is with the person(s) who initiates, approves and/or performs such modification or alteration. A-dec will not respond to inquiries on an individual basis. This person(s) will be deemed to have assumed all associated risks with such alteration or modification and will hold A-dec harmless from resulting claims, including product liability claims. Additionally, such modification or alteration voids A-dec's warranty and may invalidate UL or other regulatory agency approval.

Programming the Chair NOTE When 1 or 2 are pressed on the footswitch or touch pad, the chair base and back go to the programmed position. To stop the chair at any point, press any button on the footswitch (or press any button on the touch pad). Programmable Positions 1 and 2 To send the chair to a programmed operating position, push either 1 or 2 on the footswitch (press 1 or 2 on the touch pad). Positions 1 and 2 are programmed at the factory to move the chair to the same position. To change a programmable position, find the program button on the footswitch or touch pad (see Figures 2 or 2a on page 3). 1. Using the manual arrows on the footswitch or touch pad, set the chair to the operating position that you prefer. 2. Press and release the program button. An audible tone will be emitted. Then, within four seconds, push the button for 1 or 2 to store that position. You will hear an audible tone confirming that the programmable position function has been reprogrammed. 3. Check the programmed position by manually moving the chair to another position. Then push and release the button programmed in Step 2. The chair should move automatically to the position set in Step 1.

Decade 1011/1021 Chair Optional Program Functions Position 3 is factory set in the Cuspidor/Return mode. In this mode, the chair back will rise to a pre-programmed upright position providing the patient access to the cuspidor. Pressing position 3 a second time lowers the chair back to its previous operating position. Position3 may also be used as a third Pre-Position or as a last position recall. Contact an authorized A-dec Dealer to have Position 3 reconfigured to a third Pre-Postion or as a last position recall.

If you want to change the preset entry/exit position, first locate the program button on the footswitch or touch pad (see Figure 2 or 2a on page 3). 1. Using the manual arrows, set the chair to the desired patient entry/exit position. 2. Press and release the program button. An audible tone will be emitted. Within four seconds, press the Entry/ Exit (0) button on the footswitch or touch pad. An audible tone will confirm that the chair has been reprogrammed. 3.

Figure 5. Swivel Brake

When engaged, the chair swivel brake restricts rotation of the chair. With the brake released, you can rotate the chair to any position within approximately 30° either side of center. To release the swivel brake, push the brake lever to the right. To engage the swivel brake, push the brake lever to the left. If the chair swivels left or right with the brake engaged, or if it is difficult to move with the brake disengaged, the swivel brake tension must be adjusted. Using a 3¼16-inch hex key, adjust the swivel brake tension. Turn the adjusting screw clockwise to increase brake friction. Turn the screw counterclockwise to decrease brake friction. 8

Double-Articulating Headrest

Figure 6. Double-Articulating Headrest

The double-articulating headrest offers the widest range of headrest positions possible. A convenient locking knob allows you to easily accommodate most patients and procedures. To position the headrest, release the locking knob by turning the knob out (counterclockwise), then adjust the headrest as necessary to fit the head and neck. Lock the headrest in the desired position by turning the knob in (clockwise). To move the headrest higher or lower, simply pull up or push down on the headrest until it is at the desired height. (Refer to for Headrest Drift Adjustment on page 12.)

Headrest Drift Adjustment

HEADREST GLIDE BAR

Figure 8. Headrest Drift Adjustment

NOTE The back cover does not have to be removed to adjust glide bar tension. If the headrest drifts downward, or if you find the headrest difficult to move up or down, the glide bar tension must be adjusted (see Figure 8). Remove the headrest glide bar to access the adjusting screw. Using a Phillips screwdriver, adjust the glide bar tension. Turn the adjusting screw clockwise three to four revolutions to increase friction and hold the headrest more securely. Turn the screw counterclockwise three to four revolutions to decrease friction and allow the headrest to move up and down more freely. Reinstall the headrest and recheck glide bar tension. 11
