Largest Cause of Premature
Turbine & Motor Failure

A) Lubricating & sterilizing without running handpiece, lube build up, mixed with debris in turbine or rotor in low speed, destroys bearing retainer in high speed & causes swelling of vanes in low speed, by far the #1 cause.

B) Running handpiece in excess of mfg recommendations

C) Spraying handpiece with disinfectant prior to sterilizing
