SAFETY PRECAUTIONS:
Aseptico accepts no liability for direct or consequential injury or damage resulting from improper
use, arising in particular through the non-observance of the operating instructions, or improper
preparation and maintenance.
WARNING: Clean, disinfect, and sterilize new or repaired handpieces and instruments before first
use and between each patient use. Only use sterilized handpieces and instruments
during treatment. Non-sterilized handpieces and instruments may cause bacterial or viral
infections. Always sterilize handpieces and instruments after operation.
CAUTION: Always examine unit components for damage before commencing treatment. Damaged
components must not be used and must be replaced.
WARNING: Use for intended purposes only. Failure to observe the operating instructions may result
in the patient or user suffering serious injury or the product being damaged, possibly
beyond repair. Before using this product, make sure that you have studied and
understood the operating instructions.
WARNING: Do not install where there is a risk of an explosion. The 525 Transport III System is not
intended for operation in the presence of flammable anesthetics or gases.
WARNING: Always operate a high-speed handpiece with water coolant. Operating a high-speed
handpiece without water coolant can cause thermal injury to the patient.
CAUTION: The lens for the electric motor L D is soft and can be damaged. If the lens needs to be
cleaned, use a lint-free swab and isopropyl alcohol - do not use other solvents as they
might adversely react with the L D assembly.
CAUTION: The A U-525 Transport electric motor is not recommended for use with endodontic files
that have torque limit requirements less than 100 g-cm.
WARNING: Do not use this device for dental implant procedures.
CAUTION: Do not run saline solutions through the water system -- saline will rust the water filters.
