Safety The Volu-Matic 200 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 All Volu-Matic 200 machines are factory equipped with side, front, and rear guards. The top of the machine does not require guarding when correctly mounted in the contractor’s truck, as shown in the installation instructions. The front guard 1 is designed to hinge up for access to your machine for maintenance and troubleshooting. This The front guard 1 is designed to hinge up for access to your machine for maintenance and troubleshooting.
- Page 11 There are two emergency stop buttons 4 & 5 that will completely shut the machine down. Either red button will stop all machine mechanisms when pushed in (off) overriding all other controls. If the mechanisms do not shut off or stop when either button is pushed, request that maintenance be performed on the safety system.

Operation... - Page 13 PRELIMINARY CHECKS 1. Check the following table for the proper hose size, type, and length for a particular operation. All hose couplings must be thin wall, 1/16 inch maximum, to minimize restrictions. Thin wall couplings can be purchased from CertainTeed Machine Works. OPERATION MATERIAL HOSE DIAMETER...
- Page 14 PRELIMINARY START-UP CHECKS 1. Make sure hopper is free of foreign materials. 2. Clear the area in front of the airlock feeder outlet 11 for testing. 3. Move the toggle switch 9 to the center (off) position and plug the remote cord 10 shipped with newly delivered machines into the receptacle 7 .
- Page 15 11. For any problems encountered during preliminary start-up procedures, check the Troubleshooting section or call CertainTeed Machine Works at 800-237-7841. Warning: If at any time the drives do not stop when an emergency stop button is push in (off), or if any swing gate is open, request that maintenance be performed on the safety interlocks.
- Page 16 GETTING STARTED 1. Use the preliminary and startup checks as a check list on your Volu-Matic 200 machine each day before proceeding to THIS the job site. At the job site, connect hose at the through wall connection firmly with band clamps and make sure the hose does not have a short radius bend.
- Page 17 2. Make sure the emergency stop buttons are pushed in (off) and the remote cord toggle switch is in the center (off) position. 3. Use the recommended start settings chart to adjust machine for the type of insulation you are using and particular operation.
- Page 18 6. To adjust the transmission 17 , refer to the chart and select an appropriate gear for material and type of operation. Shift the lever 18 into gear in accordance with decal instructions on the machine front panel. Since the transmission is not synchronous, it may be necessary to pull the gears through by hand using the pulley 19 so that gears mesh allowing you to change them.
- Page 19 7. Load the machine from a standing position on the fl oor depositing bags of material on the shelf 20. Do not build scaff olding 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 20 COVERAGE Coverage may be defined as the maximum allowable square feet covered per bag at a minimum specified depth and weight per square foot at a given “R” value. A manufacturer might recommend that the material be blown at a rate of 72.5 sq. ft. per bag at a depth of 11.5” and a weight 0.427 lbs per sq. ft. to achieve an insulation value of R-30.
- Page 21 12 VOLT ELECTRICAL SYSTEM The following is a description of the 12V electrical system on the Volu-Matic 200 machine, an electrical schematic is included in the troubleshooting section. Engine Models: Power comes from the battery through the 20 amp circuit breaker to the master switch 6 . When the master switch is turned on, electricity flows through the switch causing the light to illuminate while providing power to the blower relay and remote control receptacle 7 .

Preventive Maintenance... - Page 23 GENERAL 1. Make sure all power sources are off and the truck mounted PTO controls are disengaged before attempting any maintenance procedures. 2. 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.
- Page 24 AIRLOCK FEEDER The airlock feeder will require periodic maintenance to prolong the life of the assembly since steel will wear when abrasive type materials and air velocity are mixed. 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.
- Page 25 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.
- Page 26 PTO DRIVE SYSTEM The PTO drive pillow block bearings 23 should be greased once a week or every 30 hours of operation. Do not over lubricate. Two to three pumps from a hand operated grease gun is sufficient. CertainTeed Machine Works uses lithium based high temperature grease.
- Page 27 PILLOW BLOCK BEARINGS – MACHINE CLUTCH SHAFTS Machine main shaft bearings should be lubricated every month of operation. Do not over lubricate. One to two pumps from a hand operated gun is sufficient. FLANGED BEARINGS Bearings should be lubricated every 6 months of operation if equipped with a grease fitting. Bearings without fittings are considered lubricated for life.
