PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

The Local Exhaust & Ventilation Company Inc. (LEV-CO) series of externally supported fume

exhaust arms,* (Super-Max© SS High Flow Extractors), are simple, effective and highly reliable devices used to remove smoke, fumes, dust and dirt away from the work area. Because the exhaust arms are easy to maneuver, they can command a large work area allowing coverage anywhere within the range of motion. This feature accommodates a variable workstation setup, which would not be possible with a fixed or ducted system. The arms are designed to allow one hand operation.

The stainless steel Super-Max© system is available in 1.5m (5’), 2m (7’), 3m (10’), 4m (14’), 5m (16.5’), 6m (20‘), 7m (23‘), 8m (26‘), 9m (30‘), 10m (33‘), 11m (36’) and 12m (39.5’) lengths. The system consists of an externally supported arm assembly made with stainless steel tube, a friction release external center joint, and a stainless steel bell hood with integral 360 handle. Options include integral blowers, silencers, and wall brackets.

READ THIS MANUAL CAREFULLY BEFORE INSTALLING OR USING YOUR EXTERNAL FUME EXHAUST ARM. RETAIN THESE INSTRUCTIONS FOR FUTURE REFERENCE.

SAFETY RULES

Follow all electrical and safety codes as well as the National Electrical Code (NEC), National

Fire Protection Association (NFPA), and the Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA). All electrical connections and wiring should be performed by qualified personnel only.

National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) standards require specific duct design and dust collector configuration when collecting potentially reactive metal dusts, such as aluminum and magnesium, and other materials. NFPA also covers other dusts such as grain, plastics, etc. A guideline for determining the precautions to be taken can be found in NFPA 497. Other NFPA standards may apply to your specific application. Consult current NFPA standards, available from NFPA, 1 Batterymarch Park, Quincy, MA, 02269, 1-800-344-3555, for applicable safeguards which may be required for the Installation, Operation, and Service of this product. Fire suppression equipment provided by others.

Additional references are the Uniform Building Code and Uniform Mechanical Code.

WARNING

1. Avoid mixing combustible materials such as (but not limited to) buffing lint, paper/wood dust,

aluminum and magnesium with dust generated from the grinding of ferrous metals. This creates a potential for fire due to the mixing of sparks and combustible materials.

2. Under no conditions should the machine operator be allowed to put lit cigarettes or any

burning object into this or any dust/mist control system. 3. Installation of this unit in applications where the chance for heated and/or flammable

materials to enter the unit should be evaluated to determine if a fire protection/extinguishing system should be installed. Such a system may be required by Federal, State, or Local codes, or as required by organizations as NFPA and Factory Mutual Insurance or your insurance carrier. LEV-CO can offer basic guidelines for such an installation, however final installation design is the responsibility of the filtration unit Owner/User.

4. When exhaust arms are attached to a collector with hazard location requirements, explosion

relief vents are required on some applications. Consult with an insurance underwriter or an NFPA manual to determine proper vent size ratio. Dust or mist collectors must be located outdoors unless otherwise indicated by NFPA standards. Dust and mist collectors DO NOT CONTAIN EXPLOSION RELIEF VENTS as shipped from the factory and must be field installed per NFPA standards.

5. Disconnect all power before installing or serving this equipment.

SPECIFICATIONS(*): EXTERNAL ARM

CONSTRUCTION: Rigid stainless steel tubes, flexible hose, 4-6 friction release external joints, swivel base joint/seal, and a high efficiency stainless steel bell hood with integral 360 handle.

*LEV-CO has a policy of continuous research and improvement, and reserves the right to change design and specifications without notice.

INSPECTION AND UNPACKING

Inspect your LEV-CO unit for shipping damage immediately upon receipt. Damaged carton(s),

broken crate(s), etc. are indications that the unit may have been damaged in shipment. It is also possible shipping damage may be concealed and not noticed until the unit is installed and in operation. If any damage is found, notify your delivery carrier at once and enter a claim. Claims must be filed within 5 consecutive days of receipt of shipment. FREIGHT DAMAGE CLAIMS ARE THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE PURCHASER, NOT LEV-CO.

PREPARATION AND INSTALLATION

All arm structures are shipped partially assembled. The arms have been pre-assembled and tested at the factory and all joints have been

adjusted. If further adjustment is required, refer to Assembly Instructions for details. Fire suppression equipment provided by others.

PERMANENT AND PORTABLE STYLES

Super-Max© SS High Flow Extractors are available in either permanent (overhead) or

portable style variants. The permanent style arm is intended for use with a LEV-CO wall mount bracket and

provides for a suspended overhead installation (see Figure 1 on page 1). The flow of exhaust air is directed upward at the base. The wall bracket allows for 300° rotation of the arm about the base and retraction above base height when stowed.

The portable style arm is intended for use on portable machinery such as the LEV-CO’s line of portable cartridge fume and dust collectors.

Care must be taken when selecting the location for a permanently mounted unit or in the use of a portable system. Do not place the device in a position where other equipment must pass, such as overhead cranes, or where the normal range of the arm may come into contact with automatic equipment or electrical devices.

4

WALL BRACKET MOUNTING

To install the wall bracket, select a location that will allow full travel of the arm assembly. Be careful not to place it near any equipment that may come into contact with or reduce the movement of the arm. Refer to Figure 3 and Chart A below for determining wall bracket height. Do not mount at height exceeding Chart A. Figure 2 shows the hole-mounting pattern on the back of the bracket. The surface selected should be strong enough to support the arm and any force applied to it while being moved around. It is recommended that a piece of 1/2” all thread rod and a backing plate on the opposite side of the wall be used to secure the wall mount.

1. Mark the wall and drill (4) 1/2" - 9/16" diameter holes as shown in Figure 2. 2. Cut an appropriate length of 1/2" diameter “all-thread” rod to pass all the way through the

wall, mounting bracket, and backing plate, see Figure 3. 3. Use a Nylon locking nut (or double nut) and washers to secure the bracket into place.

GENERAL BLOWER INSTALLATION (Optional)

The installation of the motor/blower assembly (on models so equipped) should conform to all

local ordinances associated with building and electrical codes. Authorities having jurisdiction should be consulted before installation is made. If there are no local codes, the installation should conform to the National Electrical Code. Refer to the Electrical section for electrical tie in.

When an optional blower is used, check the interior of the blower to be sure it is free of debris before installing. Rotate the wheel by hand to insure that it is not rubbing or binding. If rubbing exists, loosen the set screw on the wheel, shift the wheel to obtain clearance, and re- tighten the set screw.

Figure 5 shows general details of the motor blower assembly onto the wall mounting bracket.

MAINTENANCE

Very little maintenance is required on the Super-Max© SS High Flow Extractors. The friction

mechanism should rarely need adjustment. The following section discusses adjustments to the various joints.

WARNING

ALWAYS DISCONNECT THE UNIT FROM THE POWER SOURCE BEFORE WORKING ON OR NEAR THE MOTOR OR WIRING ASSEMBLIES. LOCK OUT DISCONNECTS TO PREVENT THE UNEXPECTED APPLICATION OF POWER

8

ARM ADJUSTMENTS

The following section discusses the procedure required to adjust the three sections of

the Super-Max© SS High Flow Extractors.

BASE JOINT

Figure 6 Shown with optional wall bracket and blower assembly.

CENTER JOINT

To adjust the center joint, maneuver the arm to the desired working position. While holding the pivot bolt head with a wrench, tighten the Nyloc nut illustrated in Figure 7. Tighten the nut only enough to hold the arm in place. Excessive tightening will wear out the friction material prematurely.

Figure 7

Figure 8

HOOD JOINT

The hood is held in place by a swiveling U-joint. Tighten the through bolts enough so that the hood remains in the desired position, but can be easily moved. Do not over-tighten.
