Filling the Cooling Water Reservoir
To remove the cooling water reservoir,
1. Press the cooling water reservoir release button (just above the
reservoir) on the arm housing to release the fittings inside the housing.
2. Slide the reservoir toward the rear of the console.
To fill the reservoir,
1. Gently open the rubber lid on the reservoir top.
2. Fill the reservoir with 1000 cc distilled water (to the line).
3. Close the rubber lid on the reservoir top.
To attach the cooling water reservoir, slide it into the slot on the console
side panel until it snaps into place.
Raising/Lowering the Arm
It is possible to raise the arm that supports the control panel to allow a
CEM unit to sit on top of the CUSA EXcel console or to see the control
panel more easily over obstacles. A locking mechanism holds the arm at
one of three positions: normal (lowest position), 7.6 cm above normal,
and 15.2 cm above normal.
To adjust the arm position, follow these steps:
1. With one hand, press the release tab (rectangular) on the arm housing
to disengage the lock. Once you have disengaged the lock and started
to move the arm, it is not necessary to continue pressing the button.
2. With the other hand, grasp the arm and push gently up or down. A
counterweight balances the arm, making it easy to raise or lower.
3. Continue to move the arm up or down until it reaches the next
position at which the lock engages. You will feel and hear the arm click
into place in the locked position.
4. If you want to move the arm to another position, press the release tab
again and continue to push gently on the arm.
