Safety BEFORE YOU RUN THIS MACHINE... PLEASE STUDY THE REST OF THIS MANUAL The Electric Insulation Blowing Machine has full guarding and electrical disconnects for your safety. Every Volu-Matic 200 machine has this warning displayed in a prominent place. Do not remove, modify, or deface the warning label! WARNING: If any foreign object should enter the machine;... - Page 9 Other warning signs, caution signs, and danger signs are displayed so that the operator is aware of other hazards associated with the use of the machine. You will see the following warnings on the machine. Do not remove, modify, or deface the warning labels! The purpose of this sign is to make the operator aware that they may lose balance and fall.
- Page 10 The front guard 1 is designed to hinge up for access to your machine for maintenance and troubleshooting. This guard must never be opened while your Volu-Matic 200 machine is in operation - there are shafts under the guard, which are still rotating. If this guard is opened, a safety switch 2 is mounted to the guard which will stop the electric motors that drive chain driven mechanisms and the blower.
- Page 11 The Volu-Matic 200 machine is a self-feeding design requiring no outside assistance for smooth flow. Operators should wear hearing protection if the machine noise makes them uncomfortable or noise level exceeds acceptable standards.

Page 14: Operation
Operation... - Page 15 10 to check blower rotation, see arrow on drive motor. Check that air does exit the airlock outlet. Turn the selector switch to machine to check the mechanism motor rotation. All Volu-Matic 200 machines are prewired for the correct rotation at the factory. If rotation is incorrect, have a qualified electrician interchange two current carrying leads at the power source to change rotation.
- Page 16 5. Become knowledgeable about the components of the Volu-Matic 200 machine. Engage and disengage the remote cord noticing the drives start and stop. With machine running, push one emergency stop button and check that the drives stop. Pull emergency stop button out, push the reset button and start the machine again.

- Page 18 NOT THIS The Volu-Matic 200 machine will not perform to specifications when held back by undersized and restrictive hoses, couplings, and reducers. For open blow operations, use a 25 foot to 50 foot length of 4 inch diameter hose at the air lock feeder outlet connection if excessive high air pressure is experienced using all 3-1/2 inch diameter hose.
- Page 19 4. Air flow rate may be controlled with the air bleed control valve 14 while monitoring system pressure on the air gauge 15 . The system back pressure must be read while the Volu-Matic 200 machine is operating with full length and proper hose while material is being blown.
- Page 20 WARNING: Never attempt to change gears while the Electric Volu-Matic 200 machine is in operation. Always change gears when the machine is completely shut down. Failure to do so can result in serious personal injuries or a severely damaged transmission.
- Page 21 7. Load the machine from a standing position on the floor depositing bags of material on the shelf 21 . Do not build scaffolding or use a foot stool to load material into the Volu-Matic 200 machine. This moves the operator closer to the rotating components in the hopper and provides a way to lose balance and fall.
- Page 22 72.5 sq./ft. per bag at a depth of 11.5 inches and a weight 0.427 lbs. sq. ft. to achieve an insulation value of R-30. Fiber must be worked or conditioned by your Volu-Matic 200 machine to achieve coverage.
- Page 23 ELECTRICAL SYSTEM The following is a description of the electrical system on the machine. An electrical schematic is included in the troubleshooting section. Power is supplied by the buildings electrical distribution to the disconnect switch. When the disconnect switch is moved to the on (up) position, electricity flows through the switch and fuses while providing power to the control transformer, selector switch, relays, and start button.

Preventive Maintenance... - Page 25 GENERAL Make sure all power sources are off before attemptinq any maintenance procedures. Check for loose nuts and bolts, check for slack and condition of chains and belts, and check for oil leaks, especially after the first few days of operation. Keep the machine clean. DAILY 1.
- Page 26 The rubber feeder seals must be changed every 250 hours of operation or approximately every 1-1/2 months if the Volu-Matic 200 machine is operated 8 hours a day 5 days a week. Failure to change seals on schedule will result in excessive wear and replacement of the feeder assembly.
- Page 27 6. Insert rotor assembly into feeder barrel rotating counterclockwise using crank hub K and rod L while pushing with free hand. Make sure bearing seal at inlet end plate does not pinch between rotor shaft and bearing race. 7. Once rotor shaft enters the inlet end plate bearing, it might be necessary to use a dead blow soft hammer to fit rotor all the way in the feeder while rotating it.
