<h2 style="text-align:justify">KaVo Electric Motor Care: Why the KL 703 Is Never Oiled, and What It Does Need</h2>

&nbsp;

The most important rule for a KaVo KL 703 LED is that the motor itself is never lubricated. KaVo states its electric motors have permanent lubrication and must not be oiled. Care focuses on cleaning, sterilizing, protecting the cable and LED, and maintaining the attachments.

<h2 style="text-align:justify">Motor vs Attachment: Where Care Goes</h2>

&nbsp;

<ul>
	<li>
	Motor: clean and sterilize. No lubricant.
	</li>
	<li>
	Attachments: lubricate before every sterilization, as KaVo&#39;s guidance for INTRA attachments requires.
	</li>
	<li>
	Cable: inspect and protect from sharp bends.
	</li>
</ul>

<h2 style="text-align:justify">Cleaning and Sterilizing the KL 70</h2>

&nbsp;

KaVo describes the KL 703 LED as sterilizable. Remove the attachment, clean the motor surface according to its instructions and sterilize it as your instructions for use describe. Never spray disinfectant into the motor or coupling. KaVo warns this can cause malfunctions.

&nbsp;

<h2 style="text-align:justify">Keeping the LED Bright</h2>

&nbsp;

KaVo lists the KL 703&#39;s MULTI LED as user-replaceable. Keep LED contacts clean and dry, and replace the LED according to the motor&#39;s instructions if it dims.

<h2 style="text-align:justify">&nbsp;</h2>

<h2 style="text-align:justify">Cable and Connector Care</h2>

&nbsp;

<ul>
	<li>
	Let the cable hang naturally and avoid sharp bends near the motor.
	</li>
	<li>
	Do not wrap it tightly around the holder.
	</li>
	<li>
	Never pull the motor by its cable.
	</li>
	<li>
	Look for cracks or flattening in the sheath each week.
	</li>
</ul>
