Operating Instructions
To operate the Nederman Fume Extractor Arm effectively, follow these steps:
- Power On: Activate the associated ventilation or filtration system to create suction through the extractor arm.
- Position the Hood: Grasp the handle on the polycarbonate hood and position it as close as possible to the source of the fumes or contaminants. The friction joints allow for precise adjustment.
- Adjust Damper: Use the damper on the hood to regulate airflow as needed for optimal capture efficiency.
- Monitor Operation: Observe the fume capture during operation. Reposition the hood if necessary to ensure all fumes are being effectively drawn into the system.
- Power Off: After use, turn off the ventilation system.
For best results, maintain the hood within 4-8 inches (10-20 cm) of the fume source.
Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your fume extractor arm.
- Hose Inspection: Periodically inspect the PVC fiberglass-reinforced hose for any signs of wear, tears, or damage. Replace damaged sections immediately.
- Joint Lubrication: Check the friction joints and swivel elbow for smooth operation. Lubricate with a suitable dry lubricant if movement becomes stiff.
- Hood Cleaning: Clean the polycarbonate hood regularly to remove accumulated dust and debris, which can impede airflow. Use a mild detergent and soft cloth.
- Damper Check: Ensure the damper mechanism operates freely and can fully open and close.
- System Check: Regularly inspect the connection to the main ventilation system for leaks or blockages.
Note: Always disconnect the extractor arm from the ventilation system and ensure no power is supplied before performing any maintenance.
