Getting Started
11. Turn on the switch located on the power board. This will allow the compressor to pressurize.
(see page 23. air tank pressure)
12. Make sure your compressor is set to deliver the correct working pressure. The air pressure
regulator gauge should read 80 psi (5.5 BAR). If adjustment is required, please see page 24
for compressor pressure adjustment instructions. iM3 factory sets the pressure.
13. Place the two foot control pedals on the floor in front of the unit. One foot pedal operates the
handpieces and one operates the suction (indicated by the word Suction on the pedal) .
14. Check handpiece operation:
a) Remove suction handpiece from holder and depress suction foot control pedal, make
sure the gray flow control on the handpiece is in the down or open position.
b) Remove High Speed Handpiece from holder and depress the handpiece foot control
pedal—handpiece should now operate.
c) Replace the High Speed handpiece and remove the Low Speed Handpiece from holder
and depress handpiece foot control pedal—handpiece should now operate.
NOTE: The elite is fitted with automatic handpiece holders. Only one handpiece (LS or HS)
can be used at any one time. If both handpieces are removed from the holder neither HP will
function correctly as they will have low air pressure.
15. Adjust individual handpiece pressure if required, (see page 16.). Each handpiece (Low
speed and high speed) has a specific pressure requirement and is factory set by iM3.
16. Pressurize water system by moving the coolant water system switch to ON, located on the
back of the control panel. (see page 4. N )
Important. When filling distilled water and/or CLS Enviro bottles de-pressurize the
water system, (see page 7.). Check water and air supply to the 3 way air water syringe.
Depress the right hand button for air and left hand button for water or both together for
mist.
17. Water volume. Remove high speed handpiece, from holder and depress foot control pedal.
Adjust water spray volume to a fine mist by rotating the flow control knob. (see page 4 “E”)
