Because of its simple design, the
Transport III System requires very little
maintenance. Any maintenance that is
needed can be performed in minutes.
PURGING THE SYSTEM:
If the unit will not be used for an extended
period of time, or if the unit might be
subjected to freezing conditions, the user
should purge the system of all water.
Simply empty the contents of the water
bottle and install it back into its cap, then
operate the air/water syringe, scaler, and
handpiece with water coolant ‘ON’ until
only air comes through the water lines.
Pack the unit and store as normal.
HANDPIECES:
Thorough cleaning and lubrication of E-
type 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.
When sterilizing
IMPORTANT!
Protect
motor from excess oil
draining from handpieces.
After lubricating and
before autoclaving, stand
handpiece on its base, on
a paper towel, and allow
excess oil to drain (see
Fig. 39).
ELECTRIC MOTOR & CORD ASSEMBLY:
The entire Electric Motor and Cord
Assembly is fully autoclavable (Fig. 40).
Steam autoclave motor/cord assembly at
132° C (270° F) for ten minutes. Loosely
coil the motor cord when autoclaving.
Avoid sharply bending the cord when
autoclaving. Alternatively, wipe down the
motor cord with disinfecting solution, and/or
sleeve the cord between each patient.
ELECTRIC MOTOR O-RINGS:
Replace electric motor O-rings when worn
STERILIZATION AND MAINTENANCE:
or damaged (see Fig. 41, page 20). Gently
peel old O-rings out of grooves and
replace with new rings (PN 520069).
Occasionally apply non-toxic lubricant
(preferably containing PTFE) to O-rings to
maintain flexibility.
LARGE O-RINGS
(On Air/Electric Module
and High/Low Vacuum Lines)
:
Keep all O-rings lubricated with PTFE
lubricant. Periodically inspect rings for
damage or excessive wear -- damaged or
worn O-rings will create vacuum leaks,
degrading system performance.
CAUTION FOR ALL STERILIZATION:
• Do not exceed 135° C or 275° F
• Do not submerge in any solutions
• Do not use ultrasonic cleaners
• Do not attempt to disassemble the motor or motor
connector.
• Do not oil or lubricate the motor.
• Do not attach a handpiece to the motor while the
motor is running.
• Do not bend motor cord sharply.
WARNING
CAUTION:
The Electric Motor is sensitive to shock. Do not
drop or impact motor against a hard surface.
