OPERATION
The 120° rotation speed adjustment ring sets direction and speed. To run motor forward at full speed, rotate
ring towards the letter 'F' while operating the foot control. Rotate to the letter 'R' to yield full speed in reverse.
Vary speed by rotating ring in either direction towards center. Note the small depression for the current setting.
After setting, the motor runs at current speed and direction until reset. Pausing the motor is not needed to alter
direction or speed using the ring. (Fig. 6)

CLEANING & STERILIZATION
It is the responsibility of the user to use only FDA compliant sterilizing equipment and accessories that are capable
CAUTION
of meeting the manufacturers recommendations below.
Do not exceed 135°C
CAUTION
Do not use:
• dry heat sterilizer • cold sterilizers • ultrasonic cleaners
• immersion techniques • sterilizer bags containing disinfectants
• detergents • surface wipes • surface sprays
LIMITS ON Repeated processing has minimal effect on these attachments. End of life is normally determined by wear and
damage due to use.
REPROCESSING
INSTRUCTIONS
The handpiece motor must be cleaned and sterilized before first use and between patient use.
WARNING
It is recommended that motors are reprocessed as soon as is reasonably practical following use.
CONTAINMENT AND
TRANSPORTATION
Remove motor from swivel if applicable or tubing.
PREPARATION FOR
CLEANING
Washer-disinfectors are not recommended.
CLEANING AUTOMATED
Cleaning the Swivel & mating Motor Parts: To optimize operation of the swivel connector, clean all internal
CLEANING MANUAL
surfaces of the motor with a cotton swab soaked in isopropyl alcohol until clean. Clean area around bearing/spring
assembly at rear of swivel using isopropyl alcohol and a toothbrush.(Fig. 7) Dry both using syringe air.
Sterilizing Handpiece Motor: After each patient,
flush air by running handpiece motor for 20
seconds. Remove attachment. Clean all internal
surfaces at rear of handpiece motor with a cotton
swab soaked in isopropyl alcohol until clean. Clean all
external surfaces using a small toothbrush with
isopropyl alcohol. Dry thoroughly. Place handpiece
motor and swivel in sterilization bag. Follow the sterilization
guidelines as stated by the manufacturer of your sterilizer.
The Titan Motor is LubeFree and, therefore, requires no lubrication.
MAINTENANCE &
However, at times debris from the delivery system's drive air tubing collects in the motor. This build-up may cause
LUBRICATION:
sluggish motor operation. To ease, place 3 drops of DentaLube II, StarDental Part #262539 into the drive air tube of
motor (Fig 8), and alternately operate the motor in forward and reverse.

Motor should be routinely maintained, checked for corrosion, worn parts, ect and should be replaced on an as
needed basis.
Use steam sterilization exclusively for complete sterility as outlined below.
