HOPPER SAFETY:
Safety is the most important consideration
when using any machine. Failure to follow safety precautions may
result in permanent injury or possible machine failure. Follow all
safety rules provided by the manufacturer of the insulation material ,
including wearing protective masks or respirators. Do not put hands
inside of the hopper while the machine is operating. If a foreign object
is dropped into the hopper, immediately shut the machine off, unplug
the power to the machine and remove the foreign object. Do not
overload the hopper or place objects other than insulation material into
hopper, as this may cause personal injury or possible machine failure.
m
Never wear loose clothing while running this machine.
LOADING THE HOPPER:
When loading the machine, empty
only one bag at a time into the hopper to prevent overloading of
agitator motor. Wait until half of the contents have been used before
adding more material. Cellulose can be loaded by placing the bag on
the hopper struts and cutting the bag open length-wise, using a
retractable razor knife. Once the bag has been cut, dispense the
material into the hopper and allow the agitator to feed the material into
the airlock. Cut all bags of fiberglass into three equal sections width-
wise. Load each section separately, allowing the material to be broken
up before loading additional material.
Note:
To facilitate loading of
fiberglass insulation, hopper struts may be removed.
