ATTENTION! READ THE INSTRUCTION MANUAL CAREFULLY BEFORE
USING THE DEVICE!
PORTABLE EXTRACTOR FOR SHEET METAL REPAIR ON VEHICLES.
Note: in the text that follows, the term "extractor” will be used.
1. INTRODUCTION AND GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The extractor was designed to support sheet metal repairs on vehicles
and/or similar.
The traction base is fastened to the ground thanks to the vacuum
generated by an ejector system.
WARNING! For operation, the equipment requires a
compressed air supply of 8 bar and in any case between 6
and 8 bar. Descent under 8 bar corresponds to a maximum
applicable reduction of the load.
The traction force equal to a maximum of 250 kg is exerted and controlled
using a manual ratchet system.
The equipment is depressurised by cutting the compressed air line
supply, allowing complete mobility in the entire workshop.
There are dierent positions of height adjustment and traction angle, to
facilitate as much as possible repair and removal intervention of dents.
2. TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
2.1 DATA PLATE
The main data on use and performance of the extractor is summarised on
the rating plate and has the following meaning:
Fig. A
1- EUROPEAN reference standard for safety and construction of the
extractor.
2- Manufacturer's name and address.
3- Name of model.
4- Compressed air symbol.
5- Extractor symbol.
6- Serial number to identify the extractor (essential for technical
assistance, spare part requests, tracing of product origin).
7- Minimum pressure (Pmin).
8- Maximum pressure (Pmax).
9- l/min of compressed air ow (8 bar).
10- Max. traction.
11- Chain length.
12- Chain maximum load.
NB: The rating plate shown is an example to explain the meanings of the
symbols and gures; the exact technical specications for the extractor
should be taken directly from the rating plate on the extractor.
3. DESCRIPTION OF THE EXTRACTOR (FIG. B)
1- Compressed air supply socket (8 Bar).
2- Manual ratchet.
3- Traction adjustment lever (250 kg max).
4- Chain pulling direction.
5- Traction hook.
6- Ratchet height adjustment pins.
7- Ratchet elastic cotter pins.
8- Traction drive bushing.
9- Drive position adjustment pin.
10- Drive bushing elastic cotter pin.
11- Handles for overturning and moving the extractor.
12- Wheels for extractor movement.
13- Front support washer.
14- Vacuum ejector.
4. INSTALLATION AND SAFETY
WARNING! CARRY OUT ALL THE INSTALLATION
OPERATIONS WITH EXPERT OR QUALIFIED STAFF.
GOOD AND SAFE OPERATION OF THIS EQUIPMENT
DEPENDS ON CORRECT ASSEMBLY OF THE PARTS COMPOSIING IT.
PREPARATION
Unpack the extractor and assemble the disconnected parts, contained in
the packaging.
FIG. C
4.1 EXTRACTOR LIFTING METHOD
The extractor described in this manual does not have any specic
lifting systems.
This equipment can be moved by tilting it on the two wheels on the
base plate, as shown in FIG. D.
5. INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
WARNING! To ensure correct negative pressure force of the
extractor locking plate, the positioning zone of the
equipment must be:
- a smooth surface;
- free of dust, liquids and other elements;
- free of cracks and drops of any type and depth.
WARNING! Do not connect the compressed air to the
extractor if the equipment is overturned, i.e. if the base
plate is not adherent to the ground. This situation could in
fact create problems for the user on approaching the air drawing
hole on the lower part of the base plate.
DANGER! If using the extractor and therefore during
traction, pay attention not to stand behind or in front of
the equipment.
WARNING! Do not use the extractor without ensuring the
plate is locked on the ground using the compressed air. Use
this equipment only for repairs with traction force not
exceeding 250kg.
- Move the equipment in the work zone using the wheels (Fig. B-12) and
the two handles (Fig. B-11) on the column.
- The work zone must be cleaned in advance and the oor must have no
cracks that would reduce the quality and seal of the vacuum.
- Having positioned the extractor in the action zone,
ensure you are as aligned as possible with the point you
have to repair!
- Connect the extractor to the compressed air mains using the socket
(Fig. B-1). By doing so, the extractor will be automatically fastened to
the ground.
- Ensure the compressed air power supply is calibrated to 8 Bar. A lower
value would proportionally reduce the equipment hold and therefore
also the traction value to use. A higher value over 8 Bar would damage
the pneumatic part and/or the sealing rubber of the lower plate.
- Adjust the height of the ratchet (Fig. B-2) so that the traction, via the
hook (Fig. B-5) of the ratchet takes place as horizontally as possible
or alternatively in the most appropriate position based on operator
experience. There are dierent positions of height adjustment and
traction angle, to facilitate as much as possible repair and removal
intervention of dents (Fig. E).
- Height adjustment takes place by removing the pins (Fig. B-6) blocking
movement of the ratchet, by excluding the elastic cotter pins (Fig. B-7),
and repositioning the ratchet.
- The traction hook (Fig. B-5) can be applied to the traction point using
the drive bushing (Fig. B-8) which allows traction exertion directed
downwards. The traction bushing can also be adjusted in its position,
removing the pin (Fig. B-9) that blocks its movement, by excluding the
elastic cotter pin (Fig. B-10).
- The traction force applied must be consistent with the repair to carry
out, however with a maximum limit of 250kg which corresponds to the
maximum, safe force guaranteed by the ratchet. A greater traction force
would damage the mechanism of the ratchet or loose base adhesion
on the ground.
- Traction force therefore takes place via lever movement (Fig. B-3).
This lever is reversible in chain driving by activating the chain pulling
direction (Fig. B-4). The operator can therefore force or release traction
based on repair needs.
- The extractor is ready for use and you can then proceed to the repair
phase.
- Having obtained the desired repair, release the chain and disconnect
the traction hook. Then, disable the vacuum locking the extractor,
disconnecting the compressed air of the line and move the equipment
to its dedicated zone, always by overturning and using the wheels.
ATTENTION! Avoid moving the equipment by dragging it
on the base plate because this would damage the sealing
rubber and aect operation of the extractor.
The dedicated non-use location of the extractor must be a clean oor,
free of impurities, deformations, cracks and anything else that could
damage the sealing rubber on the base plate.
6. MAINTENANCE
ATTENTION! BEFORE CARRYING OUT MAINTENANCE
OPERATIONS, ENSURE THE EXTRACTOR IS DISCONNECTED
FROM THE COMPRESSED AIR MAINS, EVEN IF NOT
POWERED.
