1. Introductory Remarks
The purpose of the present Use and Maintenance Manual is to supply User with directions wi-
thin the range of application, installation, start-up and the use of the ERGO-FLEX LUX Extrac-
tion Arms.
Installing, start up and operational use are exclusively admissible after getting acquaint-
ted with the contents of the Use and Maintenance Manual.
With regard to continuity of work carried on improvement of our products, we reserve for oursel-
ves the revision possibility of the draft and technological changes improving
their functional features and safety.
The construction of the ERGO-FLEX LUX Extraction Arms meets the requirements of the cur-
rent state of technology as well as the safety and health assurances included in:

2006/42/EC Machinery Directive of the European Parliament and of the Council of 17 May,
2006 on machinery –amending the 95/16/EC (recast) /Journal of Laws EC L157 of 09.06.2006, page 24/
The appliance meets following harmonized standard:

PN-EN ISO 12100:2012
–
“Safety of machinery. Basic concepts, general principles for
design. Risk assessment and risk reduction”.
2. Application
ERGO-FLEX LUX Extraction Armshave been developed for capturing the welding dust parti-
cles and welding gas as well as other fine dust particles, directly at the emission source, in order
to avoid the contamination expanding within the process room/hall and protect the people in the
vicinity from inhaling the contamination.
The extraction arms are manufactured in hanging and standing version. They can work indepen-
dently, in a single configuration with one extraction fan, or in a group of extraction arms, connec-
ted to the main collecting ducting (with a central fan).
3. Reservations of Producer
A.
Manufacturer is not liable for any consequences following from the operational use that is
in contradiction to the purpose of application.
B.
Do not install any additional elements not belonging to the normal device structure or acces-
sory set.
C.
Any structural changes or modifications on the appliance on one’s own are not permitted.
D.
Protect the flexible elements of the arm from mechanical damage.
E.
Before the installing, check the load carrying capacity of the wall / building structure in pla-
ces where the appliance shall be installed. Unsure mounting could cause damage of the de-
vice, risk to personnel / people in the vicinity.
F.
The appliance must not be used for conveying the air containing aggressive contami-
nation.

5. Structure and Function
The extraction arm consists of subsequent assemblies:
●
swivel with integrated shut-off damper
●
hood
●
hose sleeved onto the supporting structure of aluminium profiles.
For installing the extraction arm on a wall or column is applied a wall bracket. Additionally, the
same bracket can also serve for mounting the WPA-E-N flange-type fan. Moreover, the extra-
ction arm can be installed at the end of a RO-type rotational arm.
Adequately adjusted frictional joints, (in co-function with a spring), provide the comfort of easy
manoeuvring with the extraction arm.
6. Assembly and Start-up
ERGO-FLEX LUX extraction arms, along with the hoods, are delivered in separate cardboard
packages. The suction hood has to be fastened according to the “Assembly instruction of the
ERGO-FLEX LUX extraction arms” on page 11.
Diameters and the hole pattern for the mounting bolts are identical in the wall bracket and in the
swivel (6 bolts M6x40 –8,8).
Fig. No.2
Do not install the ERGO-FLEX LUX extraction arm directly to the ventilation installation system,
as it (usually) is not constructed to carry such loads during the use of the device. First install the
extraction arm on a wall bracket, then make connection between the extraction arm and the ven-
tilation system.

START-UP
●
Prior to beginning of the work, check if the extraction fan is functioning or make sure if the
discharge ductwork is working properly.
●
Adjust the hood into suitable position: not more than 30 cm from the welding arc, and not
less than 20 cm –as the welding chippings (spatters) could damage the hood and, on the
other hand, the hood suction could interrupt the protection gas shield (CO2, argon).
Simultaneously, the hood should capture the fume effectively, whereby, the extraction arm
shall not cause barrier to User.
●
By means of the shut-off damper lever adjust the intake air volume to eliminate the fume
and/or dustiness most efficiently.
●
During the operational use, the position of the hood and the damper lever can be changed
many times, so User can adjust them best to the current needs.
●
After the work is completed –the extraction arm can be left in the ultimate used position (ope-
rational state), or if it causes obstacle –set the arm into the home position.
●
Switch off the extraction fan; in case where the extraction arm works in a ventilation system
–close the shut-off damper.
7. Operational Use
In general, the device construction guarantees a safe and reliable function without continuous
routine servicing and special handling.
If necessary, undertake the adjustment of the frictional joints. First take off the hose clamp, and
and sleeve the hose off until the joint is accessible.
The bolts and nuts in the joints are fine-threaded (1 mm pitch). The adjustment of the frictional
brakes is carried out by increasing or reducing the tension of the nuts upon the frictional elements.
In general, the brake adjustment in the following joints ought to be executed in such a way that
provides stability and self-supporting features of the extraction arm (which is important to keep
the stable arm position). Whereas, on the other hand, this cannot cause any excessive friction
resistance while User is changing the arm position.
Having completed the adjustment, tighten up the counter-nuts.

wire brush or replace the inlet mesh for a new one.
9. Maintenance
Generally, the maintenance activity consists in following steps executed periodically:
●
Periodically clean the surfaces of the suction hood and the inlet mesh from the deposited
dusts particles and impurities, to obtain the most efficient capture. In application for wel-
ding dusts, sprinkle additionally them with the anti-gluing (anti-spattering) fluid against chip-
pings.
●
In case when the extraction arm is losing its self-supporting properties –undertake the ad-
justment of its frictional brakes.
●
Lubricate the swivel every 3 months using solid grease (lubrication nipple is located on the
swivel flange).
●
After 1 operational year submit the device to a technical revision and repair or replace the
spotted faulty (worn out) element.
●
Clean the internal surfaces of the extraction conduits from the deposited impurities. The fre-
quency depends on the intensity of use.Every 3 months, examine the pollution degree
of the extraction conduits, clean them if necessary.
10. Occupational Health and Safety
The ERGO-FLEX LUX extraction arms will not cause any risk under the condition that they are
firmly and correctly mounted to the wall or another structural element of the building. Unsure
installing could result in an uncontrolled detachment of the device and cause serious risk to per-
sonnel / people in the vicinity.
Having completed the work, leave the extraction arm in the ultimately used operational posi-
tion. In case when it constitutes obstacle to personnel, set in into the home position. Prior to
installing check the load carrying capacity of the building structure.

11. Transport and Storage
ERGO-FLEX LUX extraction arms have to be stored and transported in partly assembled state
and in special packages. The devices ought to be stored in dry rooms and of efficient ventila-
tion.
During the transport / reloading protect the device from scratching, indents and pay attention
that the markings and labels would not get detached.
12. Terms of warranty
The period of warranty for the purchased device is indicated in the “Card of Warranty”.
The warranty does not comprise:
●
device failures caused during use which was in contradiction with the purpose of operatio-
nal use and with the present Use and Maintenance Manual,
●
mechanical / electrical damages and malfunctions caused by User,
●
modifications and changes on the appliance undertaken by User on one’s own,
●
inefficiency or malfunctions following from the normal operational exhaustion / wear.
Infringement of the section 3 “Reservations of Producer” of the Use and Maintenance Manual
and especially modifications undertaken by User on one’s own shall result in the loss of war-
ranty validity.
