Acceptance of the Goods
Upon arrival, it is necessary to check the quantity compliance of the EV-1 with the bill of lading or
invoice and packing conditions to avoid the release with damage which occurred during the transport.
If damage has occurred, have the forwarder apply a reserve on your documents for the damages and
contact RTI Technologies. Only by observing these few rules, will it be possible to repair or replace
damaged parts.
Description of the Goods
This equipment is for the ventilation of the exhaust gas of cars and small trucks. The unit is equipped
with a sliding system which allows height adjustment between 8.5 in. (22 cm) and 35.5 in. (90 cm). This
adjustment automatically locks once the operator releases the adjustment lock handle. A further
mechanical braking device is installed which, in case of adjustment lock failure, does not permit the
entire motor unit to drop completely. Exhaust fumes are discharged, without being filtered, through a
heat resistant hose max 2500 F (125/ C).
Exhaust fumes do no come in contact with the electric motor or other electrical components, thus
avoiding risk of explosion due to accidental intake of unburned fuel or gas. The machine must be used
only for the aforementioned purpose. Only correct use of the unit will grant a profitable result. Read this
operation manual carefully and read it again every time there are machine problems or difficulties
during use.
