How do you separate the straight handpiece from the motor to clean and lubricate it? There is NOTHING in the manual that shows or tells you how to do it but it clearly shows that it can and should be done
A.D.S. 2000, microprocessor controlled anesthesia delivery system / ventilator, Sentinel V.R.M., respiratory monitor. We manufacture all of the inserts and tips used in the Engler products as well as many others on the market today in the 18K and 25K frequency range.
Cutting discs and burs and other accesories are available for the straight handpiece. PLEASE READ VERY CAREFULLY Engler Engineering Corporation makes every effort to verify that all parts for the device along with any optional accessories ordered were shipped from our facility in Hialeah, Florida and are included in this shipment.
POLISHER INSTALLATION 1. Plug the Micromotor into the front of the control box. This is done by inserting the male connector at the end of the Micromotor cable, into the female receptacle on the front panel of the unit and rotating the locking collar clockwise.
Always allow the Micromotor to come to a complete stop before switching directions. 5.As this is a precision instrument, always return it to Engler Engineering Corporation for repair. NOTE Dropping the handpiece can severely damage the Prophy Angle and Micromotor.
POLISHER OPERATION 1. Dampen the rubber cup and place a small amount of polishing paste on it. 2. Rotate the POWER control to the minimum setting in the prophy range. 3. Depress the footswitch and the rubber cup will begin to rotate. The speed of rotation may be adjusted to your desired level by re-adjusting the POWER control.

Due to Federal regulations, spray lubricant cannot be shipped by air. Engler spray lubricant can be shipped together with orders delivered by ground, otherwise it will be shipped separately. Engler P-02 Lubricating spray is optional but highly recommended.
MICROMOTOR MAINTENANCE The Micromotor is capable of speeds up to 35,000 RPM for use in cutting, sectioning and drilling. It contains sealed bearings and does not require any lubrication. The Micromotor has cooling vents at the back of the unit, Do not allow water, oil, or any other substance to enter these vents. Failure to keep debris out of the micromotor will shorten the life of the unit and cause permanent damage.
1. Switch unit to Polisher mode. 2. Micromotor not plugged in: plug Micromotor in. 3. Short circuit in Micromotor or its cable: Contact Engler Engineering Corporation for instructions. STRAIGHT HANDPIECE GETS HOT: 1. Straight Handpiece not lubricated properly: Lubricate as shown on page 8.
PROPHY ANGLE CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS The prophy angle is a precision engineered dental device. all gear and shaft assemblies are made of high grade stainless steel which must be kept free of debris. If cleaned and lubricated correctly will provide long, trouble-free service.
2. DO NOT SUBMERGE IN LIQUIDS, INCLUDING ULTRASONIC SOLUTIONS. 3. Do not heat over 275 ºF (135 ºC). 4. Use only Engler Care Free Prophy Rubber Cups. Other brands will not properly seal the angle, causing premature wear and voiding the warranty.
