GENERAL MAINTENANCE
Periodic preventive maintenance will add years of life to your equipment. Reviewing the information in this
manual will go a long way in reducing downtime and lost income.
KEEP CLEAN: During operation, keep material from accumulating on Blower Filter. Always keep Filter in
place while operating machine. After each use, remove fiber from hopper and blow out hose. (Use
BLOWER mode at Main Control Panel or Hand Pendant.) Clean air from insulation hose can then be used
to blow insulation from agitator motor and Blower Filter area. The Blower Door attached to this unit reduces
filter maintenance. (See Illustration A on page 8)
Airlock: (Seal Replacement)
The purpose of the airlock seal is to trap air and insulation until it rotates 180
O
to the 6:00 o'clock position. At
this point, insulation is pushed by air from the blower, out of the chamber. Worn or damaged seals allow air and
insulation to escape back into hopper, thus reducing production and coverage. When it is necessary to replace
seals, follow these directions:
Disconnect power from unit!! Remove hose from input of airlock, remove chain on output. Using a 5/8”
socket, remove hold down bolts from airlock. Lower the front of the airlock down by loosening the jamb nuts and
turning the liftbolts counterclockwise. Slide the airlock out of the machine. (See illustration L) Airlock rotor
plates that are damaged (bent) will need replaced. (Refer to Rotor Plate Replacement on next page.) Take out
rubber seal by removing fastening bolts, nuts and top plate. The base plate will remain attached to airlock shaft.
To install a new seal, reverse procedure. Seal should be inserted tight against the back base plate, pressing the
lower tabs of the seal down under the adjacent seal with a flat blade screwdriver. Make sure all bolt holes are
aligned while each side of seal is equally pressed against the end plates, before tightening bolts. Seal should be
bent forwards for counterclockwise rotation. (See Illustration N on page 17)
