About Your Decade Chair
Your Decade chair is an electronically controlled,
hydraulically powered dental chair.
Chair functions are controlled by the 8-function
footswitch or touch pad (see Figure 2 or 2a on
page 3).
Figure 1. Lift, Tilt, and Stop Plate
Chair LED
The chair LED indicates the status of the chair:
ON: Normal operation.
SLOW BLINK: The cuspidor or stop plate limit

The chair stop plate (see Figure 1) stops the chair
immediately when any part of it is pressed. Should
anything inadvertently become lodged under the
chair, press Base UP on the footswitch or touch pad
to raise the chair so the object can be removed. As
long as pressure is applied to the stop plate, the
chair base will not go down any further.

Headrest Drift Adjustment
Figure 8. Headrest Drift Adjustment
NOTE
The back cover does not have to be removed to
adjust glide bar tension.
If the headrest drifts downward, or if you find the
headrest difficult to move up or down, the glide bar
tension must be adjusted (see Figure 8). Remove the
headrest glide bar to access the adjusting screw.
Using a Phillips screwdriver, adjust the glide bar
tension. Turn the adjusting screw clockwise three
to four revolutions to increase friction and hold the
headrest more securely. Turn the screw counter¬
clockwise three to four revolutions to decrease
friction and allow the headrest to move up and
down more freely. Reinstall the headrest and
recheck glide bar tension.
