3. If the probe is not already assembled, observe step 4.
4. If the converter / probe assembly is not already assembled; using the wrenches
provided, screw securely the probe into the converter.
5. Mount the converter / probe assembly in a laboratory stand, secure the clamp to the
upper section of the converter housing only. Do not secure the clamp to any other
portion of the converter / probe assembly.
6. Connect the converter cable to the power supply.
CAUTION
If the Ultrasonic Processor has been left in a very cold environment for a
prolonged period of time, do not operate until it has reached room temperature.
To safeguard the fuse against failure, always switch the power supply off before
connecting or disconnecting the footswitch plug.
CAUTION
Never place a washer between the probe and the converter.
Never apply grease to the mating surfaces or threads of the converter, probe,
replaceable tip or microtip.
NOTE
Should it become necessary to remove a probe, use the wrenches supplied. If the
probe has been attached to the converter for a long period of time it might be
necessary to use a vise. Be sure the vise has soft jaws or other means to prevent
scratching. Secure the wide diameter portion of the probe in the jaws of the vise.
Never grip the converter in the vise. Using a wrench, twist the converter off the
probe. A tap of a hammer may be applied to the end of the wrench. Never attempt
to remove the probe by twisting the converter housing, as this may damage the
electrical connections within the housing.
