12.
HANDPIECES
- Thorough cleaning and lubrication of
handpieces after each use and before sterilization is
very important to ensure proper operation and service
life of the handpiece. Follow the instructions provided
with the handpiece for complete maintenance
instructions.
IMPORTANT!
Protect
motor from excess oil
draining from handpiece.
After lubricating and
before autoclaving, stand
handpiece by its base on
a paper towel and allow
excess oil to drain.
MOTORS
- The AE-200-30 motor is fully autoclavable.
To autoclave motor only,
detach the motor from
motor cord
by unscrewing the metal motor-to-cable
connector counterclockwise (see photo below). Steam
autoclave the motor at 132° C (275° F) for ten minutes.
Wipe down the motor cable with disinfecting solution.
We recommend also sleeving the cable between each
patient.
WHEN THE MOTOR CORD MUST BE
AUTOCLAVED, AUTOCLAVE CORD AND MOTOR
JOINED - DO NOT SEPARATE THE CORD FROM
MOTOR.
Note: Extensive autoclaving will shorten the
life of the motor cord.
MOTOR BULB
- The motor light bulb may become
dirty in the autoclave and require cleaning or
replacement. To remove bulb, unscrew bulb cover from
end of motor housing and insert dental pick or other
small pointed instrument into guide hole at base of bulb
(see photograph). Slide bulb forward until disconnected
from socket in motor housing. Wipe bulb with clean soft
cloth - do not handle bulb with bare fingers. Reinstall
bulb with guide hole facing outward. Carefully guide
the bulb’s contact pins back into their respective socket
holes.
MOTOR O-RINGS
- Replace motor O-rings when worn
or damaged (see photograph). Gently peel old O-ring
out of groove and replace with new ring (PN 520069).
Occasionally apply rubber compatible lubricant to
O-rings to maintain flexibility.
STERILIZATION AND MAINTENANCE:
CAUTION FOR ALL STERILIZATION:
