SETTING UP THE UNIT

1. 

Unpack the AMC-15 from its 

cardboard crate following 

the PACKING INSTRUCTIONS 

on page 16, in the reverse 

order.

2. 

The AMC-15 is configured for 3 Midwest-style (4-hole) non-fi-

ber optic air handpieces:  two high-speed (with water) 

A

, and 

one low-speed (no water)

3. 

Before installing the 

optional 

amalgam separator, remove 

the two caps from the inlet 

and outlet ports of the sep-

arator. Ensure that the two 

O-rings that seal the sep-

arator against the manifold 

remain in place on the ends 

of the port fittings and are 

not lodged inside the caps. 

Save the caps for reuse later 

when sending the amalgam 

separator to be recycled. 

Open the waste compart-

ment door on the back side 

of the cart and place the 

optional

 amalgam separator 

A

 into the amalgam man-

ifold 

B

. You will need to 

loosen the retaining screw 

C

 located under the top 

lid to get the bracket down 

and around the lip of the 

amalgam separator. Tighten 

the retaining screw to secure 

the amalgam separator.  

4. 

Inside the waste compart-

ment, make sure that the 

cable from the waste tank 

sensor is plugged into the 

connector labeled WASTE 

SENSOR 

A

 on the back wall 

of the waste compartment. 

Ensure that all tubes and 

the bungee tie-down cord 

are securely attached to the 

waste tank.

NOTE: 

The AMC-15 will not operate without the waste 

sensor wire plugged into the waste sensor connector. The 

yellow waste indicator LED on the front panel will illumi-

nate if the waste sensor cable is disconnected.

5. 

Fill the water bottles 

A

 with clean water, then screw the 

bottles back into their fittings. The 

optional

 clear water bottles 

B

 (PN 730631-01) include floating level indicators 

C

, color 

coded to identify different fluids such as sterile water or dis-

tilled water, as desired.
