Un-Packing and set-up of machine: Machine Specifications: Weight: Airlock: Blower/ Sizes: CM-1500 (single blower) 310lbs. 10” x 10” diameter (Before S#:CM-0723 ) one or two large blowers CM-1500 (double blower) 330lbs. 10” x 14” diameter (S#:CM-0723 -Present) one big & one small 3”...
Operation and Controls: Control panel: Control panel enclosure contains the electrical components to select (on/off) operation of motors, control speed variations of blower(s), and protect the circuitry of main drive motor, blowers and auxiliary devices. (If machine does not function properly, disconnect power and check manual thermal overload breakers on front of the main panel box.) To start machine, make sure power supply (grid/shore power or generator) is appropriate (120 or 230/240 volts overseas), and power is turned ‘on’.

Feed Gate control: The control of fiber feed rate is adjusted with the slide gate located (under main control panel), below the hopper area. The slide gate controls the opening to the airlock and can be adjusted with reference to the ‘pin’ and ‘hole’ locations on the slide plate. See illustration below: Feed gate Adjustment Pin Feed Gate Control Feed Gate Settings (Approx.)
Pressure Gauge: How to Use it This machine includes a recessed pressure gauge located in the lower base unit directly below the fold-out loading door. The pressure gauge has two functions: 1. Calibrate air pressure for effective dense packing (cellulose) and reducing the chance of pushing drywall from the studs.

Airlock Seal Replacement Auger Removal Instructions (For CM-700 and CM-1500 models) IMPORTANT: Disconnect power and follow proper lock out/tag out procedures before proceeding. 1. Remove front chain guard access panel. 2. Removed hopper from base unit. 3. Loosen chain idler sprocket located on airlock end- plate, and remove chain.
Maintenance: Daily: Empty fiber from machine daily. Clean blower filter(s). Brush off exterior when not running. (NOTE: Blower filter covers w/3” output tubes are available from factory) Feed Gate Adjustment Blower Filters / Keep Clean Weekly: Clean blower filter (remove and blow out with compressed air) and vacuum fiber and debris from under machine area.
Mechanical Troubleshooting Problem Corrective Action Loud knocking sound A. Check scalping augers or airlock for objects and remove. B. Check chains for proper alignment and tension. C. Check for bent or misaligned auger/shredder fingers. 2) Poor output or uneven flow A.

4) Blower motor running hot. A. Clean or replace filter(s) located on lower base unit, below slide gate. Check intake of blowers for debris/ insulation. Blow out blower motor and surrounding area with compressed air. B. Check blowing hose for blockage. A restriction in the output hose will cause the blowers to run hotter than normal.
