This dental vacuum system should only be installed by qualified personnel. Should any questions arise during the installation, call
Apollo Technical Support between the hours of 7:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. (Pacific Standard Time).
Unpacking The System:
Place the Vacuum System in a clean, dry, well ventilated area, on a solid, level surface. Consider sound level and insulate as needed.
Be sure that adequate ventilation is available as the Vacuum System is air-cooled. Ambient temperature in the equipment room should
be within the temperature range of 40 degrees Fahrenheit (4o C) minimum to 100 degrees Fahrenheit (38o C) maximum.
Do Not Allow The Vacuum To Freeze.
1. Remove the cardboard from the shipping platform.
2. Inspect pump for freight damage and confirm that the Pump Installation Kit is in the box.
3. Remove the pump from the shipping platform.

A. Electrical Hook-Up Requirements:
Low Voltage Line (24V)
18-3 Thermostat wire from each remote control switch to each vacuum; if low voltage remote control switching is
desired. Red and Blue wires are for switching, the White wire is for a lighted switch, paired with Red.
Line Voltage (60 Hz)
Two, single-phase, 115 or 208-230 volt, 60 Hz, supply circuit with approved ground connection required. The 1HP units
are dual voltage 115/208-230 volt. The 1 1/2, 2 and 3HP units are 230 volts only. All units are factory wired for
208-230 volt operation: 208-230 volt operation is recommended for maximum efficiency.
Line Voltage (50 Hz)
Two, single phase, 220 volt, 50 Hz., supply circuit with approved ground connection is required. All units are factory
wired for 220 volt operation: 220 volt operation is recommended for maximum efficiency.
B. Plumbing Hook-Up Requirements: (See Illustration on Page 1)
Water Line
1/2 inch (13mm) cold water supply line with shut off valve terminating in 1/2 inch (13mm) FPT. The line must be
flushed out with 5 gallons of water prior to connection to vacuum.
IMPORTANT: Water is essential for the operation and longevity of the pump. The supply must not be restricted or
interrupted during operation. Water with high mineral content may cause mineral build-up and create water starvation, leading to seal failure. A water softener and filter are recommended for this situation. (*To prevent gradual
buildup, use StayClean™ Mineral Deposit Remover)
Waste Line
Water drains to sewer terminating in:
Option A - Floor sink.
Option B - P-trap adapted to 3/4 inch (19mm) PVC slip connection, A 1 inch (25mm) air gap may be required by local code.
