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
Titan motor is operated in reverse direction, the prophy cup
will separate from the motor.
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.
PROPHY CUP REMOVAL
Before use, verify concentric rotation by operating the handpiece outside the oral cavity in a
safe place.

diameter of the O-ring and to the gear as
shown. (See FIG. 9)
10. To reassemble, insert gear assembly into bronze bushing and guide
shaft through the hole in O-ring. Install cartridge into prophy head
angle.
11. Turn end cap counterclockwise and hand tighten to secure. Use
wrench to fully seat – 30° rotation maximum.
Do not overtighten as poor performance and damage to angle may result
