Ultradent Products Ultrapro Tx Air Operating instructions

Thank you for choosing the Ultrapro Tx Air Hygiene Handpiece from Ultradent
When properly cared for, your motor will provide years of quality service. Please follow these guidelines to ensure proper functioning over
the life of your equipment.
Oil and Lubrication
Lubrication of the motor and nose cone is necessary to keep all the moving parts running properly. Oil also helps ush debris out of the
motor, helping to prevent buildup or wear and tear.
Preventing Buildup
Motors coated with debris may not work consistently or may lose power when pressure is applied to the motor.
*For complete sterilization and maintenance instructions, please refer to the product IFU.

After sterilizing, place two drops
of handpiece oil into the motor
air tube (Fig. 1) and 1–2 drops
of oil into both ends of the
nosecone (Fig. 2). To properly
disperse the oil, run the motor
for several seconds.
Apply one drop of oil to the O-ring
once per week to keep the nose
cone swivelling smoothly.
To prevent debris inside the motor:
1. Have your air compressor serviced regularly
2. Clean or replace air hoses regularly
Always check that your compressed air is ltered, dry, and free of oil.

Troubleshooting
Handpiece will not start
- Inspect the air line connector to ensure it is properly threaded onto the motor.
- Ensure air line tubing is not crimped or damaged. Repair tubing if necessary.
Handpiece lacks power
- Make sure the motor gasket is in good condition. Replace if motor gasket shows
signs of wear, is brittle, or cracked.
- Inspect the air line connector to ensure it is properly threaded onto the motor.
- Ensure air line tubing is not crimped or damaged. Repair tubing if necessary.
- Using an inline air pressure gauge, adjust the dental unit to a setting that allows 35–45 psi to enter the motor.
Handpiece skips
- Conrm the prophy angle is in good condition. Replace if defective.
- Make sure the motor gasket is in good condition. Replace if motor gasket shows signs of wear, is brittle, or cracked.
Air Pressure
Excessive air pressure can cause unnecessary wear on the motor, and insufcient air pressure can decrease the motor’s effectiveness. The
length of the air hose affects the amount of air pressure that actually reaches the motor from the air compressor.
1. Use an inline air pressure gauge to check the discrepancy between the amount of air pressure set on your dental unit or work station and
the amount that reaches the motor.
2. Have the air pressure on the dental unit adjusted so that it’s between 35–45 psi when it reaches the motor. By carefully adjusting your
dental unit to a setting that will yield 35–45 psi entering the motor, you’ll keep your motor working properly.

Maintenance and Troubleshooting Guide
Note:
Every foot of air hose decreases the air pressure (psi) that actually reaches the motor. Each foot of
straight air hose decreases the air pressure that reaches the motor by approximately 1 psi. Each
foot of coiled air hose decreases the air pressure that reaches the motor by approximately 1.5 psi.
