Connect the Electric Pen Drive handpieces
(05.001.010 and 05.001.011)
The connector for the handpiece is on the left. To connect
the Electric Pen Drive handpieces, open the release sleeve for
attachments on the handpiece and place one of the
handpieces with the coupling for attachments pointing
forward, then push the handpiece with light pressure
towards the connector fitting until the handpiece locks in
place.
Make sure that the cable for the Electric Pen Drive 90,000
rpm handpiece is positioned were the opening for the lid is
placed.

Connect the Air Pen Drive handpiece (05.001.080)
To connect the Air Pen Drive handpiece, the Adapter for
Maintenance Unit for Air Pen Drive (05.001.089) has to be
used. Place the female side of the Adapter on the connector
on the left of the Maintenance Unit, making sure that the
pins on the connector engage in the slotted link on the
Adapter and then turn the Adapter clockwise. To apply the
handpiece, set the adjustment sleeve to the foot switch posi-
tion. Then fit the air hose side of the handpiece to the con-
nector by fitting the pins on the Adapter into the grooves in
the air hose coupling side of the handpiece and turn the
handpiece clockwise.
Caution
– The Air Pen Drive must be set to foot switch position
during the lubrication process!
– The Air Pen Drive has to be lubricated through the air
inlet/outlet, not through the attachment coupling!

Connect the attachments
The second, third and forth connector from the left can be
used for attachments. To connect the attachments, carefully
push the attachment with the cone coupling pointing to-
wards the connector fitting and turn the attachment coun-
terclockwise to lock it in place.

nance Unit.

If oil can be seen in the filter in the inspection window, the
filter should be changed. We recommend changing the filter
every time the oil has to be filled up.

fit the new filter into the bottom of the Maintenance Unit.
The oily filter and the empty bottle of Synthes special oil,
for EPD and APD, should be disposed according to national
regulations.
