CONGRATULATIONS! Dear Customer, Thank you for purchasing a VentBoss product. This manual will help you use the many features available to customize the unit to your specific welding needs. When your VentBoss needs scheduled maintenance, keep in mind that VentBoss has specially trained staff in servicing our equipment.
SECTION 100 IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS CAUTION: Failure to follow all instructions may result in electric shock, bodily injury and possibly severe damage to the unit. CAUTION: Use of controls, adjustments or performance of procedures other than those specified herein, may result in electrical shock.
SECTION 200 FEATURES OF THE SERIES 300 COLLECTORS 1. Quiet Operation A built-In acoustic lining of high density sound absorbing materials has been implemented as part of the blower compartment. The acoustically designed plenum greatly reduces motor and blower noise levels and decreases ambient noise to the facility.

SECTION 200 FEATURES OF THE SERIES 300 COLLECTORS (continued) 5. High Performance Blower The aluminum Acoustafoil blower is the heart of the VentBoss Series 300 units. The backward inclined centrifugal blower is dynamically balanced when the complete unit is assembled, prior to the unit being approved to ship from the VentBoss assembly plant.
SECTION 300 RECEIVING & INSPECTION Receiving VentBoss equipment is typically shipped on skids or in crates. The number of skids/ crates will vary, depending on the type, size and accessories ordered. These skids/ crates are too heavy to lift by hand, and will need to be unloaded by an industrial fork- truck or similar equipment.
Delivering over 1500 CFM of air filtration power, the VentBoss 300 Series S310 collector can be placed into any area where welding is performed.

SECTION 700 MAINTENANCE (continued) the system is greatly increased. Typically, these baffles should be removed and cleaned with a hot detergent solution every month. Filters that are bent or deformed beyond repair should be replaced. See Equipment Specifications Sheets for ordering proper replacements. CAUTION! DO NOT replace these baffle filters with anything other than what was originally installed in your unit.

APPENDIX A: INSTALLATION, OPERATION & MAINTENANCE General Description & Reservations VentBoss Base Mount Fume Arms are meant for capturing the welding dusts and gases as well as fine dusts, straight at the emission source, in order to avoid expanding the impurities in the process room and being inhaled by people.
Page 23
APPENDIX A: INSTALLATION, OPERATION & MAINTENANCE (continued) The suction hood can be equipped with a halogen spotlight to light up the workspace. In order to install the extraction arm on the wall or column use a wall bracket. It can also be suspended at the end of the RO-type extension arm.

APPENDIX A: INSTALLATION, OPERATION & MAINTENANCE (continued) Pic. 1 Pic. 2 In case when the extraction arm is installed on a wall bracket, it is important to carry out levelling of the bracket surface while mounting it on a wall. If the bracket is not levelled, the extraction arm is likely not to keep the requested by User work position and tend to fall into one position only (Pic.

APPENDIX A: INSTALLATION, OPERATION & MAINTENANCE (continued) Pic. 3 Pic. 4 VentBoss Fume extraction arms are delivered in cardboard packages in a partly assembled state. Before the extraction arm is installed at the work place – it is important to bring the device into completely assembled state (according to the enclosed instruction).

APPENDIX A: INSTALLATION, OPERATION & MAINTENANCE (continued) Using Your VentBoss Fume Arm The construction guarantees a safe and reliable function without continuous servicing and special handling. The adjustment of the ERGO extraction arm consists mainly in corrections within the frictional joints. The frictional brakes are placed in each joint of the d evice and their function is to give the balance and self-supporting properties of the whole extraction arm and ensure an easy manoeuvring during the operation.
Page 29
APPENDIX A: INSTALLATION, OPERATION & MAINTENANCE (continued) Maintenance & Repair In order to obtain appropriate capture efficiency of the suction hood, clean its surface and the inlet wire-mesh net from the deposited dusts and impurities. In case of welding dusts, additionally – sprinkle the hood with an anti-spattering liquid to avoid adhesing the welding chippings.
