OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
The Veterinary Scaler is a finely engineered instrument, designed to provide years of trouble free
service. The following instructions will help you operate and maintain the unit at optimal
performance.
ELECTRICAL POWER CONNECTION
Plug the electrical cord into the appliance entry on the rear of the 2000 Plus unit. Be sure
that it is fully inserted. Plug the cord into a 120V 60HZ grounded outlet. The
On/Off
selector switch is located on the lower right side of the control panel.
POWER CONTROL KNOB
Adjusting the Power control knob from left to right will vary the power output from low
(left) to high (right). The Specialty area identifies the power setting used by the Feline
Urethral Catheter and Cavitron® Slimline
TM
, FSI
TM
, or Modified Periodontal
inserts. Refer to “Setting Power” on page 7 for appropriate power settings
on various scaler inserts.
SCALER HANDPIECE CONNECTION
The handpiece is shipped non-sterile. Disinfect the handpiece before use. See
pages 5 and 6. Insert the plug into the circular jack on the right front of the unit.
Be sure to seat the plug fully. Turn the locking ring clockwise to tighten the plug
securely, but avoid cross-threading, forcing, or over tightening the plastic
threads. Purge the water system prior to use. See page 6. See page 7 for more
detailed information on the scaler inserts.
NOTE: Scaler should not be operated unless there is a Magnetostrictive Insert properly installed
in the handpiece and there is proper water pressure.
ADJUSTING LAVAGE WATER PRESSURE/FLOW
Turning the Water knob in a clockwise direction increases the flow of water
and, conversely, the opposite direction produces a reduction in water flow.
Note this control knob will turn about 2 or 3 turns in either direction. Once
you feel resistance do not turn past that point.
The red Low Pressure light next to the water knob comes on when the water flow/pressure drops
below the safety point. IMPORTANT! Do not operate the Scaler until you have corrected the
condition, and adequate supply water is again available. See pages 5 and 6 for further
information. Lavage is active only in the Scaler mode.
