All hoods are powered by single-phase alternating grounded current 230 V 50 Hz.
The body of the hood is made of polypropylene, with good resistance to alkaline chemicals. The operating
temperature limits are -20 ° to + 65 ° C (bending temperature under a load of 0.46N / mm²).
Purification of the sucked air is ensured by the installation of a filtering body.

The life of the filter could be one year. This duration decreases with increasing flow.
In order to properly control the efficiency of the filtration under random conditions of use, we recommend to
provide for the periodic maintenance the replacement of the filter every six months.
3. SAFETY RECOMMENDATIONS
This device is not intended for use by persons (including children) whose physical, sensory or mental capabilities
are impaired; or persons without experience or knowledge, unless they have been able, through a person
responsible for their safety, to have prior surveillance or instructions concerning the use of the device. Children
should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
WARNING: BEFORE ANY INTERVENTION (FOR EXAMPLE FILTER REPLACEMENT) BE SURE TO DISCONNECT
THE HOOD.

- Avoid aspiration of liquids as well as acid products. In case of error, immediately stop operation, clean and dry
the splashed parts thoroughly, before restarting the installation.
- Avoid the aspiration of the flames. These can damage the Filter as well as the booth.
- Avoid contact with very hot or incandescent parts.
- Avoid working in a damp room.
4. INSTALLATION / MOUNTING OF EQUIPMENT
- Put the hood on a flat and horizontal surface to prevent it from tipping over.
- Check that the length of the power supply cable is compatible with the distance between the hood and the power
plug.
- Check that this socket has single-phase alternating grounded current wire 230 V, 50/60 Hz. It must be secured
by a protection system guaranteeing the safety of the user.
- Slide the appropriate filter for the intended use, at the top in front of the corresponding slot. Precisely, unscrew
the lid of the HI8, slide the filter into the corresponding slot and then screw the lid on the HI8.
Good to know : The slot at the bottom of the hood helps to push and remove the filter more easily
- To place the prefilter (if there is), stick the velcro tape on the corners of the hi8 and fix the prefilter

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.
