Articulator is a precision
instrument and requires care and main-
tenance. Periodic cleaning and lubricat-
ing as described below will assure pro-
longed life and dependable service from
the instrument. Failure to follow these
instructions will void your warranty.
CLEANING
Use a mild soap and water solution with
the aid of a brush to dissolve accumula-
tions of wax and to wash away car-
borundum grit. Then air dry and lubri-
cate. DO NOT use strong detergents,
alkalines, gasoline or naptha as cleaning
agents.
LUBRICATION
Lubricate the working and bearing com-
ponents with thin film of sewing
machine or high speed handpiece type
oil. Wipe off excess oil to prevent accu-
mulations of dust or grit.
A thin coating of petroleum jelly must be
applied to all articulator surfaces that
will be contacted by the gypsum mount-
ing material
STORAGE
Store the articulator in a clean, dry
atmosphere free of plaster and car-
borundum dust; away from acids, alka-
lies or corrosive medicaments. Wait a
full day after mounting casts before
storing the articulator in a carrying
case or corrugated carton. Moisture
dissipation from the stone in an
enclosed area causes alkalinity of the
stone mixture which can damage the
articulator surface.
WARRANTY
Whip Mix Corporation warrants the
articulator system to be free from
defects in material and/or workmanship
for a period of one year. In the event of
a defect, please notify the factory in
writing of the defect prior to returning
the instrument. Whip Mix will, at its
option, either repair, replace or issue
credit for such defects.
Because Whip Mix Corporation is con-
tinually advancing the design of its
products and manufacturing methods, it
reserves the right to improve, modify or
discontinue products at any time, or to
change specifications or prices without
notice and without incurring obligations.
