5. START-UP AND OPERATION
Getting started
- Connect the electrical outlet.
- Switch on the engine switch
- vary the rotational speed, to obtain the necessary suction flow for the HI8V
Stopping the aspiration
- To stop aspiration, press the engine switch.
- During a long shutdown, disconnect the power supply.
6. CARE AND MAINTENANCE
WARNING: BEFORE ANY OPERATION REMOVE THE ELECTRICAL CORD FROM THE POWER SUPPLY.
Case:
The cleaning of the hood is done with soapy water.
After cleaning, carefully wipe off any moisture.
Avoid contact between the liquid cleaning product and the electrical parts of the installation.
Filters:
FA2 (aerosols).
The clogging of the filters depends on the time of use, the nature and the concentration rate of dust in the
aspirated atmosphere.
In workplaces where these parameters are controlled, the life of a filter can be well determined. Cleaning and
replacement can be planned; this simplifies both routine maintenance and periodic maintenance.
In workplaces where the above mentioned parameters are random, it is recommended to use hoods with filter
loading detection (HI HEPA). This device makes it possible to permanently know the efficiency of the filtering and
to proceed to the replacement as soon as necessary.
In ordinary cases of use, we recommend:
For routine filter maintenance, cleaning with compressed air at least once a week.
- Remove the filter element.
- Put it horizontally press wedges at the four corners.
- Blow with compressed air in the opposite direction of the suction.
For periodic maintenance, change the filter at least twice a year.
FC2 (activated carbon)
The use of activated carbons makes it possible to purify the air of impurities and in particular smelly substances.
The frequency of replacement of activated carbon filters is based on the user's own experience.
This must take into consideration the concentration rate and the nature of the troublesome substances.
