Solids Trap Filter
Check the solids trap filter daily, and replace it if the filter has become clogged. ASI recommends replacing the
filter at least once per week to prevent loss of suction strength.

Oil Mist Jar
The dental unit utilizes a container to assist in capturing excess handpiece lubricant.
This Oil Mist Recovery Jar is located under the left side of the system behind the
holder bar. Exhaust lines of the pneumatic handpiece connections are routed through
it and then exhausted out through the jar lid port. The jar uses standard 2 by 2 gauze
to capture oil mist droplets from the exhaust air. The gauze should be replaced every
three months or whenever it becomes visibly noticeable that it is discolored from oil
mist. To change: unscrew the jar, remove and dispose of the old gauze. Unfold a new
gauze, fluff it up, place it in the jar and reattach.
In-Line Purge Filter
Check the inline purge filter weekly, and remove it and clean it if it appears clogged. ASI recommends replacing
the filter at least twice per year (every 6 months).
See Infectious Materials Warning in Section 1 before beginning.
1
Turn Off the vacuum pump.
2
