Description

Description of the arm
The new ARMOTECH series, thanks to the materials used and the innovative design, allows the operator to
count on high maneuverability, stable positioning and exceptional robustness, guaranteed by a pantograph
structure that supports the arm.
ARMOTECH arm represents the ideal solution for extracting the fumes produced by the various work
operations, in the metalworking, chemical industry, goldsmith laboratories, electronics industry etc. sectors,
capturing fumes as close as possible to the source of pollutant as required by EU regulations and in line with
international standards.
The reduced air flow rates, optimized by the possibility of choosing the type of ARMOTECH most appropriate
to the customer's needs, ease of installation and reduced maintenance, mean that this product increasingly
meets the favor of operators in the sector.

Normal use
The equipment must only be used to suck in semi-dusty air of low and medium grain size deriving from
industrial processes through the suction arm or the flexible hose whose ends are inserted one into the
special attachment on the suction arm, the other near the position where the fumes are generated (e.g.
welding fumes).
For any other use, other than that described, the manufacturer is not liable.
Usage rules
- In general, do not disassemble or remove any part of the suction arm when it is in operation or connected
to the power supply.
- Do not insert the electric cable into the joints of the arm.
- Do not tamper with the components of the electrical panel.
- Do not operate the vacuum cleaner for a long time with the arm nozzle closed.
- Do not suck up liquids.
IMPORTANT NOTE!
THE EQUIPMENT CANNOT BE USED IN AN EXPLOSIVE ATMOSPHERE!
Most frequent faults: causes and remedies
Given that most of the malfunctions occur due to incorrect use of the system, some possible malfunctions
that may occur and the measures to be taken to remedy them are indicated in the following table.
FAULT
POSSIBLE CAUSE
REMEDY
The suction arm does not support itself,
maneuverability and positioning of the
hood is compromised.
•The clutches are loose :
• new clutches that must grip
the support material
• consumption of the same
Tighten the fixing bolts gradually and not
too much so as not to compromise
maneuverability.
The sleeves break near the grip
The clutch bolts are tightened too much,
overcoming the resistance of the joints
•Loosen the clutch bolts, and
replace the hoses:
• hood connection forearm tube
(replacement can be carried out
by the customer)
• spring part tube (must be
replaced by the manufacturer
for safety reasons)
Breakage of flexible fittings.
Wear, abrasion, puncture etc. caused by
incandescent material sucked in by the
arm.
Remove and replace the hose clamps
The fan over the suction arm stops
suddenly.
Power failure.
Restore the power supply
The fuse has blown
Replace the fuse.
The thermal switch has tripped.
Open the switchboard and reset the
switch.
Check the reasons why the thermic
tripped.
The engine burned out.
Repair where possible or replace. See
related manual.
Turn off
To turn off the arm, turn OFF the switch on the electric switch box.

Description of dangers and specific protections
However, the manufacturer has taken steps to reduce the dangers that may arise due to incorrect use of the
machine by installing protective devices on the machine itself.
Description of hazards that cannot be eliminated from the security measures adopted
The dangers that cannot be eliminated from the safety measures adopted by the manufacturer are caused
by incorrect use of the machine or by a failure by the user to comply with the safety standards described in
this manual.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR EMERGENCY SITUATIONS
In case of fire, use powder fire extinguishers complying with current regulations.
Never use liquid fire extinguishers.
In case of fire, pay attention to the combustion gases (plastic system).
MAINTENANCE
Par
Description
1
Ordinary and extra-ordinary maintenance
CLEANING AND ROUTINE MAINTENANCE
Adequate cleaning is recommended for optimal operation. Regular checks and cleaning of the fan impeller
should be provided.
For normal cleaning operations, commercially available cleaners can be used.
Regular maintenance of the system increases its duration and operating safety, the hood internal joint must
be periodically greased.
EXTRAORDINARY MAINTENANCE, REPLACEMENTS AND REPAIRS
Extraordinary operations are those for the repair and replacement of one or more components of the
the system that normally becomes necessary only after years of good operation, which do not alter the
characteristics of the machine.
The device does not require any particular replacements except in cases where there is a possible filtering of
the fluid downstream of the system.
The parts most subject to wear and which need to be replaced over time can be the flexible hose, the nozzle
and the centrifugal impeller of the fan.
In the event of substantial changes, the manufacturer cannot be held responsible for any dangers that may
arise.
