the motor and motor cord connector as
shown below. The plugs are supplied with the
motor and cord.

for any questions or clarifications on this
sterilization procedure.
• Always install the autoclaving plugs into motor
and motor connector before autoclaving.
• If the autoclaving plug for the motor becomes
difficult to remove or install, apply silicone grease
or similar lubricant to the O-rings.

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 purchased for complete
maintenance instructions.
CONSOLE MAINTENANCE

The exterior of
the console may be cleaned by wiping with a
soft cloth moistened with mild detergent or
disinfecting solution.

sets can be removed from the pump and may
be sterilized by autoclave, chemclave, or
ethylene oxide gas processes. Follow the
manufacturer’s recommended procedure.
NEVER store the tubing sets in the pump for
extended periods of time. The tubing may
collapse and stick to itself creating a blockage
for future uses.
