It is important to clean and lubricate
the handpiece, prophy-head and latchtype head used with the Bonart micromotor/polisher, regularly and correctly. If this is not done, your unit will almost certainly seize up, causing you needless
expense as well as down-time.

It is also important to keep the micromotor/polisher section dry to prevent the bearings from rusting and the unit from seizing up.

Cleaning the snap-on prophy head

Disconnect the handpiece from micromotor and the prophy head or latch-typehead from the handpiece.

 

Cleaning the latch-type head

Always remove the burr from the latch-type head after use. Wash out debris inside the head.

Lubricating the handpiece, prophy head and latch-type head

It is good practice to lubricate handpieces at the end of a day. If you use a handpiece continuously for more than half an hour, lubrication during this period is highly recommended.

• Attach the E-type nozzle firmly to the Pana Spray Plus spray nozzle.
• Insert the E-type nozzle spray in the handpiece/heads then spray.

• Hold the handpiece/heads tightly so that they do not come off from aerosol propellant pressure.
• If dirty oil comes out of the handpiece and latch-type head, repeat spraying until the emerging oil is clean
• After lubrication, stand the handpiece and heads on tissue paper to drain excess oil before re-assembling it to use with the micro-motor.
• If routine maintenance is not done, you’ll notice these symptoms:
• • Slower turbine
  • Higher noise and vibration level
  • Noticeable wobbling
  • “Dead” handpiece/heads
