A. If the arm will not stay in the required position:
1. Loosen the hose at A.
2. Pull the extractor out to its full length and angle it horizontally.
Loosen the friction brake until the arm drops towards the floor.
Tighten until it no longer drops.
3. If the arm is difficult to move sideways or moves on its own sideways,
then adjustments must be made to the friction collar. This is done by
either loosening or tightening the screw.Use an allen key.
B. If the outer arm will not stay in the required position:
1. Angle the outer arm horizontally. Loosen the friction brake until the arm
drops towards the floor. Tighten until it no longer drops.
C. If the hood will not stay in the required position:
1. Loosen the hose at C.
2. Adjust the friction (see picture) until the hood will stay in the exact position.

Ball-bearing jointed extraction arm
- Standing (KUA-S)
Components and operation
Hood operation
The black, enamelled ano-dised
metal hood can be angled 110°
forwards, backwards and to the
sides. Large, 360°, ring handle,
Ø300 mm.
Maneuvering
1. Ring handle for positioning
of the hood. Can be reached
from all sides.
2. Damper control knob.
3. Quick-fit catch for simple ex-
change of extension hose and
hood.
KUA - Standing
The PlymoVent ball-bearing jointed extraction arm – KUA-S – is a flexible and
efficient extractor for dust, welding fumes, soldering fumes, oilmist, fumes from
solvents etc. Ideal for many problem areas. The outer and inner arm are coupled
by an externally mounted elbow joint for which we have a patent application pen-
ding. This external joint is adjusted by hand without the need for any tools. The
lower spring-assisted joint supported in a double ball-bearing mount, gives KUA-S
a smooth, flexible movement. The KUA-S reaches above its mounting height and is
manoeuvrable through 360°. Both outer and inner arms are made of light, smooth
aluminium tubing. This not only makes the arm rugged but also minimises the total
weight and noise level, even at high extraction rates.
Delivery
The arm is delivered complete with mounting flange.
Advantages
• Easy to move thanks to the ball-bearing mountings and spring assistance.
• Inner and outer arms made from aluminium tubing give increased
mechanical strength.
• External, middle joint simplies adjustments.
• Easy-to-reach ring handle ensures simple positioning of the hood.
• Standard stanchion for ceiling, oor and wall mounting makes
installation easy.
• Reaches up to 6 m with stanchions PA-110 or PA-220.
• Rugged construction.

Welding: 800-1200 m3/h.
The following aspects

2. The air volume.
3. The bends in the arm.

The KUA-S can
be turned through
360°.
The standing version KUA-S can easily be
mounted at a lower level without affecting the
arm's reach. If KUA-S is to be wall mounted,
the mounting bracket KUA-X-03 must be
ordered separately.
