INSTALLATION AND OPERATION
PROPHY ANGLE INSTALLATION FOR TITAN 3 OR TITAN T SYSTEMS
1. For the Titan 3 or Titan T systems thread angle onto motor-to-
angle adapter (FIG. 1), Star Titan 3 Part #264073 or Titan T Part #
263970, by hand. Seat completely.

CAUTION
angle; spin motor-to-angle adapter drive gear and repeat step one.
2. Fit angle disconnect wrench (FIG. 2), Star
Part #203048, furnished with every angle, to
mating indentations on angle neck; tighten
securely.
PROPHY CUP INSTALLATION
The prophy angle uses either a screw-on or a
snap-on type polishing cup. When using a
snap-on type cup, use the screw-to-button
adapter, Star Part #258950.
Thread the screw-to-button adapter (FIG. 3), or
polishing cup, with a clockwise rotation until snug
into the hollow cartridge shaft of the prophy angle.
Operate the Titan motor in the forward direction only. If the
CAUTION
Titan motor is operated in reverse direction, the prophy cup
will separate from the motor.
PROPHY CUP REMOVAL
Unthread the adapter, or polishing cup, counterclockwise. If the
screw-to-button adapter is difficult to disengage, remove the prophy cup, and use a
small screwdriver to loosen the screw-to-button adapter.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
PLEASE OBSERVE SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Before use, verify concentric rotation by operating the handpiece outside the oral cavity in a
safe place.
LUBRICATING
1. Lubricate with DentaLube II, Star Part #262539 once a day or before each
sterilization procedure.
2. Remove prophy cup.
3. Place a drop of DentaLube II down the center of the hollow cartridge shaft (allow a few
seconds for the lubricant to drain down the shaft). (See FIG. 4)
4. Place a drop of DentaLube II at the base of the angle. Allow a few seconds for the
lubricant to drain and reach the bronze bushing. (See FIG. 5)

normally determined by wear and damage due to use.
The angle must be cleaned and sterilized before first use and after each
patient use.
It is recommended that angles are reprocessed as soon as is reasonably
practical following use.
Wear puncture resistant gloves to prepare the prophy angle for sterilization.
