Clean the Sterilizer Case
Use a neutral detergent to clean the sterilizer case.
Maintain the Handpiece
Maintaining the handpiece involves lubricating the handpiece connector
o-rings or replacing the handpiece connector o-rings.
Lubricate the Handpiece Connector O-Rings
Keeping the o-rings lubricated prevents them from drying out and
cracking, which may cause handpiece cooling problems.
Frequency: Every month or every 80 hours of use, whichever comes first.
Items needed: A high viscosity lubricant such as silicone grease.
Items to be lubricated: The four o-rings on the handpiece connector water
prongs.
Replace the Handpiece Connector O-Rings
Regularly replacing the o-rings prevents excessive wear, which may result
in handpiece cooling problems.
Frequency: Every six months or 500 hours of use, whichever comes first.
Items needed: O-Ring maintenance kit, which includes o-rings, an
insertion tool, and instructions.
Items to be replaced: The four o-rings on the handpiece connector water
prongs.
