  • Page 6 It is designed and built to blow-in more than a ton of material per hour. No other machine in its class can match the performance of the FORCE/2. Because no insulation goes through the blower, the FORCE/2 is a virtual workhorse, requiring only minimal maintenance. The direct drive feature also means there are no chains for you to adjust or replace, ever.

  • Page 14: Set-Up And Operation

    Operate the blower and agitator from the main electrical panel toggle switches. Note: In cold weather, your machine is more difficult to start. If possible, store your FORCE/2 in a warm area over-night before starting this helps ensure the lubricant (oil) is warm, enabling the bearings and gearbox to turn freely.
  • Page 15 Following the instructions in this manual along with good common sense, should allow you to complete your job in a safe and efficient manner. First, before loading your FORCE/2, follow all safety considerations provided by the manufacturer of the insulation material you are using, including wearing protective masks or respirators.
  • Page 16 Cellulose, place the bag of insulation material on the hopper. Use a knife to open the bag so that the material falls into the hopper. Your FORCE/2 is designed to self-feed. Fiberglass, place the bag on the side of the hopper. Cut the bag in thirds and dispense one third of the contents gradually until the agitator breaks up and conditions the material.

  • Page 17: Operational Guidelines

    THE FORCE/2 Operational Guidelines BLOWING SIDEWALLS, CELLULOSE: When blowing sidewalls, use the following settings and recommendations as guidelines. Settings may change from job to job, material to material, or nozzle to nozzle. Hose length and humidity may affect your results.

  • Page 19 Your Force/2 can apply both wall-spray and spray-on materials. There are many different types of material for these applications and depending upon the material your results will differ. The Force/2 has been designed to apply most materials and can recycle up 75/25 blend of Dry/Wet cellulose material. Using recycled material will change the speed of the material traveling through the hose and will change the impact (density) of the wall area being sprayed.

    FORCE/2 and protect the generator. The start-up requirement for a FORCE/2 is 9660 watts; normal operating requirement is 3300 watts. We recommend a generator of not less than 9000 watts, 120 VAC. In addition, Intec recommends generators that have a 50% power boost feature which aids the generator in high current startups.

  • Page 21: Maintenance

    Repair or replace any damaged components at once to avoid possible injury. AIRLOCK BLOW BACK Airlock seals are the most important component of keeping your FORCE/2 running in original condition. Airlock seals function much like the rings in a car engine, keeping pressure and air from escaping.
  • Page 22 We recommend changing the airlock seals every 300 hours, 200,000 pounds of insulation or once a year, whichever comes first. Unplug the FORCE/2 from electrical power and empty all insulation material from the hopper. Seal replacement requires a 7/16" socket and ratchet, a 6"...
