Page 5: How The System Works
Instruction Manual How the System Works OVERVIEW: Cellulose, Fiberglass, or Stone Wool insulation is loaded into the hopper. The agitator breaks-up and starts the insulation conditioning process prior to insulation entering the airlock. The airlock transports the insulation into the airstream created by the blower system. Insulation is discharged from the airlock, through the machine outlet, and into the hose. - Page 6 Instruction Manual Primary Blower Secondary Blower Agitator / Airlock Motor Wired Remote Receptacle Electrical Receptacles: The agitator / airlock motor & each blower motor require a dedicated 115 volt 15 amp circuit. Wired Remote Receptacle: Twist lock receptacle to plug in the wired remote. Control Panel: The electrical panel, combined with the remote (wired and/or wireless), provides operation of the machine.
- Page 7 Instruction Manual GOWIRELESS: The optional GOWIRELESS LRT (Long Range Transmission) system enables wireless use. The transmitter can be mounted on wrist, hose, belt clip, lanyard, or in pocket. Agitator: The agitator is located in the bottom section of the hopper between the hopper and airlock. The configuration of the agitator enables high production rates and appropriate insulation conditioning.

The backflow preventers will keep insulation from flowing backwards through the airlock and into the blower which may happen when the pressure of product in the hose is more than that of the pressure in the line between the blower and airlock - examples include (i) hose moving straight up from machine to a second or third story, or (ii) during...

2. Power Connections: FORCE/3 HP2: Obtain three 12 gauge, heavy duty twist-lock power cords (note: when requiring over 100 feet per power cord, recommendation is to use 10 gauge in order to reduce the voltage drop and allow for appropriate operation of motors). - Page 10 3. Attach 3” hose (100 feet minimum, 150 feet is recommended to provide for additional insulation conditioning) to machine outlet using a hose clamp. Note: If you desire to wall fill, you may benefit from Intec’s Machine Insert Tube which converts your machine’s outlet to 2”; this is a recommended procedure when using cellulose (Intec’s multi-reducer hose...
- Page 11 Instruction Manual When to use variable speed blower control: Most users consider utilizing the variable speed blower control when performing wall fill applications including blow behind netting, dense pack, or spray on. The variable speed blower control adjusts the speed for the primary blower only, the second blower is either 100% on or off;...
