If an object presses against the chair stop plate (see Figure 3) as the chair is lowered, a limit switch will interrupt and reverse the chair motion to prevent damage. Should anything inadvertently become lodged under the chair, press on the footswitch or touchpad to raise the chair so the object can be removed. As long as pressure is applied to the stop plate, the chair will not move down.

To position the headrest for wheelchairs:

1. Slide the headrest glide bar up until it is free from the dental chair.
2. Rotate the headrest 180° and slide the glide bar into the backrest. Ensure that the glide bar is pushed completely into the backrest.
3. Position the dental chair to its full back-up position.
4. Once the headrest is repositioned, adjust the height by moving the dental chair up or down. The patient should be positioned so the wheelchair and the dental chair are back to back.
5. Ensure that the wheels of the wheelchair are locked.

Basic Operation

A-dec 511 Dental Chair Instructions for Use

Multi-Position Armrests

The armrests are designed to allow easy access for both you and the patient.

Patient Entry/Exit

Lift the armrest slightly to unlock it, and lower it into the entry/exit position. To reposition the armrest, lift the armrest back into the standard position (see Figure 9).

Working Direct

Rotate the armrest toward the toe of the chair, and lower it into the operator access position. To reposition the armrest, lift up and rotate it into the standard position.

Figure 9. Positioning Armrests

Patient Positioning

To properly seat patients in the chair, ask the patient to sit as far back in the seat pocket as possible. This ensures the best alignment with the lumbar support and headrest.

For optimal comfort, patients should place their forearms on the armrests or keep their arms comfortably folded on their lap.

ADJUSTMENTS AND MAINTENANCE 3
The following section covers built-in adjustment points and features designed to help

simplify maintenance of your A-dec 511 chair. These include:

• Swivel Brake Tension
• Glide Bar Tension
• Monitor Mount Drift and Tension
• Upholstery Replacement
• Floor Box
• Care and AsepsisSwivel Brake TensionIf the chair swivels left or right with the brake engaged, or if it is dif cult to move with the brake disengaged, adjust the swivel brake tension. To adjust the tension, use a hex key and turn the tension adjustment screw clockwise to increase brake friction or counterclockwise to decrease brake friction (see Figure 10).

Glide Bar Tension

If the headrest drifts downward, or if it is dif cult to move up or down, the glide bar tension needs to be adjusted. To adjust the tension, use a hex key and turn the tension adjustment screw clockwise to increase friction or counterclockwise to decrease friction (see Figure 11).

Figure 11. Glide Bar Tension Adjustment

Floor Box Utilities

The utilities for A-dec 511 chair-mounted delivery systems are located in the contoured oor box under your chair. To maintain these utilities, see the Instructions For Use that came with your system. If you have a chair-only con guration, you may still have a oor box that hides the power cord and duplex outlet (see Figure 12). To access, remove the cover by lifting up and off the oor box frame.

Barrier Protection

A-dec recommends barrier protection for all applicable touch and transfer surfaces. Touch surfaces are areas that come into contact with hands and become potential cross- contamination points during dental procedures. Transfer surfaces are areas that come into contact with instruments and other inanimate objects.

In the USA, barriers must be produced under the Current Good Manufacturing Practice (CGMP) as speci ed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (USFDA). For regions outside the USA, refer to the medical device regulations speci c to your location.

Adjustments and Maintenance

Upholstery

To preserve the quality of your A-dec upholstery, use barrier covers instead of relying on chemicals. Barriers signi cantly extend the life of the upholstery and will help to preserve its luxurious look and soft feel. To clean the upholstery, use a solution of mild detergent and water. Use surface disinfectants only when the barriers have been compromised or if there is visible spatter on the upholstery.
