  • Page 4: Safety Rules

    The Lev-co MULTI-FLEX collects dust, welding smoke, mist and other atmospheric pollutants in industrial plants, shops, schools and factories. The MULTI-FLEX is available in multiple configurations each specific for the type of pollutant requiring capture. The general theory of operation ( for the standard configuration unit ) is that air bearing pollutants passes through the inlet section into the dust pan located in the plenum section where large particles and sparks fall out of the air stream.

  • Page 5: Specifications

    The MULTI-FLEX is a complete portable or stationary collector. The unit comes equipped with four 5" industrial duty casters (2 swivel, 2 fixed). It comes standard with a single 8" diameter, 10' long (or optional dual 8" diameter 10' long) Internally supported arms for at-the-source capture of pollutants. Optional 7’ and 13’ long arms are available.

  • Page 6: Inspection And Unpacking

    HEPA filer Figure 2. (*) 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, save all packaging materials until unit has been received, inspected and accepted..
  • Page 7 CABINET DOORS MUST BE CLOSED WHEN RUNNING BLOWER. MOTOR WILL BE OVERLOADED IF RUNNING WITH DOORS OPEN. The MULTI-FLEX is equipped with a side mounted junction box. All 115V AC units have an ON/OFF switch and cord with plug. Three phase units have wiring terminated inside junction box; motor starters and disconnects are not supplied with the unit (unless purchased as an option), and must meet local and National Electrical Code.

  • Page 8: Three Phase Motors

    The standard Light Kit will require an additional 4.0 A at 115V AC minimum, be sure to add this into the power requirements when allocating circuits for the MULTI-FLEX unit. The standard light will come on only when the unit is operating as the unit ON/OFF switch also controls the light circuit. Optional remote switching of motor and light is available.
  • Page 9 The 95% and 99% filters self-cleans by gravity-draining to the sump pan. It will be necessary to occasionally clean the filters if both grit and a mist are being collected. Dry particulate can be removed from any of the pre-filter assemblies by shaking or vacuum.

  • Page 10: Filter Cleaning

    OTHER SERVICE Most other components of your MULTI-FLEX air cleaner require little or no routine servicing. Items such as motors, blower wheels, friction joints of arms, pickup-hose and gaskets should be checked twice a year under normal usage; more frequently under severe 24-hour-per-day usage. Clean, repair or replace parts as necessary.
