E-type Low-speed Airmotor 

 • The Patterson airmotor is intended for use by dental professionals only. 

 • Read this operation manual carefully before using the airmotor. 

 • Be sure to follow all the operating instructions, including all cautions and warnings.

 • Keep this Operation Manual for future reference.

 • Keep in mind the safety of the patient and the operator when using the airmotor.

- Set the air pressure gauge below 42 PSI.

- Before use, make a trial run, making sure that:

 • The drive air is not leaking from between the connecting part of the airmotor’s backend and tubing 

connector.

 • Changes in the rotating direction and the rotating speed can be 

affected with the control ring as shown.

 • When the ring is turned in an “F” direction, the attachment 

installed onto the airmotor rotates clockwise.

 • When the ring is turned in an “R” direction, the attachment 

installed onto the airmotor rotates counterclockwise.

 • The rotation is stopped at the center position between “F” and 

“R”.

 • Select the rotating direction and the speed by manipulating the 

ring.

External Spray System:

  7.8” spray tubing with a clamp for the Patterson attachments is supplied 

separately. If spray, water or chip air is needed, the tubing can be connected to the airmotor.

5. Operation

Cleaning and Drying the Exterior

The use of automated cleaning devices is not recommended for the cleaning of the E-Type Low-speed 

Airmotor.

- Remove the airmotor from the tubing connector. Remove attachment from the airmotor.

- Wash the airmotor under running water following the procedures below. (Water condition: ≤100°F, ≥

3.5L/min; water should be of the same quality as drinking water)

- Clean the external surfaces of the airmotor with a soft 

bristled toothbrush for 15 seconds or more. 

Under appropriate lighting (natural office lighting, 500 lx or 

higher), inspect the airmotor for blood or other debris. If any 

visible debris remains, repeat the process until the airmotor is 

visually clean.

After cleaning, if the residual moisture is present, wipe off 

with dry cloth or blow it off with compressed air (≤50.75psi) until there is no moisture in the interior 

and exterior.

When blowing off with compressed air, cover the airmotor with cloth to prevent scattering of water. 

Proceed to 7: Cleaning and Lubrication.

6. Cleaning and Drying

An Autoclave is recommended for sterilization. 

- Before sterilization, clean the surface of the airmotor and lubricate the attachment. Refer to the 

instructions in 5: Cleaning and Drying and 6: Cleaning and Lubrication. 

- Put the airmotor into a sterilization pouch by itself.

- Place the airmotor in the center or upper shelf of the autoclave chamber.

- Autoclave the airmotor at 

275˚F

 or 

135˚C

 for 15 minutes.

8. Sterilization

Patterson guarantees the Patterson airmotor for 10 months subject to the observance of maintenance 

instructions, cautions, warnings and normal use. 

Note

- Patterson reserves the right to analyze and determine the cause of any failure.

- Guarantee is void if the breakage, accident or any other issues are caused by neglecting the daily 

maintenance, cautions, warnings and common sense in use.

- Dismantling or reassembling by any third parties other than the Patterson Service Center voids 

guarantee. 

9. Guarantee

10. Symbol

 • Never use the airmotor, if the airmotor cannot be smoothly installed onto or removed from the 

tubing connector. 

In this case, consult the Patterson Service Center. 

 • Never use the airmotor, if the attachment cannot be smoothly installed onto or removed from 

the airmotor. 

In this, consult the Patterson Service Center.

• Do not use sprays other than PANA SPRAY Plus. Using sprays other than PANA SPRAY Plus 

may cause the airmotor to overheat.

• Hold the spray can upright.

• Firmly hold the airmotor to prevent it slipping when spray pressure is applied.

• Spray lubricant until it expels from the drive air port of the motor.

 • Never use dry heat sterilization, cold sterilization, etc.

 • Never autoclave the airmotor with other instruments in the sterilization pouch. 

 • Never place the airmotor at the bottom of the autoclave chamber, as the temperature at the 

bottom may rise above the actual temperature setting.

- Make sure that tubing connector is ISO standard 4-hole or 2-hole. 

- Align the pipes at the backend of the airmotor with the corresponding holes of the tubing connector, 

and then tighten the nut situated on the tubing connector by turning it clockwise. 

3. Installation of Airmotor onto Tubing Connector

Installation

- The Patterson airmotor accepts external water system E-type attachments. Insert the sleeve of the 

airmotor into the backend of the E-type attachment until it 

is securely locked with a snap.

- Make sure that the attachment is securely installed onto 

the airmotor, pulling it gently with fingers before use.

Removal

- Hold the airmotor with one hand and the attachment with 

the other hand as illustrated. 

- Pull the attachment out from the airmotor. Then, do not 

separate the overlapped hands until the lock is released.

Cleaning and Lubricating the Interior

- Attach a Tip Nozzle to the nozzle of the PANA SPRAY Plus.

- Shake the can 3 or 4 times and insert the Tip Nozzle into the 

drive air port of the airmotor while holding the head of the
