THE FORCE / 2
How the System Works Together
AGITATOR: Conditions the insulation material to an optimum
configuration, then sweeps the material into the airlock for distribution through
the hose.
AGITATOR MOTOR: Drives the gearbox. No maintenance is required.
Produces 1-
1
⁄2 HP @ 14.5 or 17.2 amps, 115 VAC. Optional motor 2 HP @ 21
amps, 115 VAC.
AIRLOCK: Moves the conditioned insulation material from the agitator into
the air flow from the blower. Airlock seals must be inspected regularly and kept
in good working order for the FORCE/2 to operate efficiently. We recommend
changing the air
lock seals every 300 hours, 200,000 pounds of insulation or once
a year, whichever comes first.
BLOWER: Creates the airflow which propels the material from the airlock
into the hose for distrib
ution. No insulation material passes through the blower.
The standard blower moves 105 CFM drawing 11.5 amps, 115 VAC or the
optional 116 CFM blower draws 12.5 amps at 115 VAC.
See the maintenance
section for required service.
GEARBOX: Operates both the airlock and agitation system, the gearbox
requires periodic maintenance, including changing the oil at least once a year. See
the maintenance section for more details about changing the gearbox oil. If you
are working in cold weather, changing to Mobil 1 or 5W-30 high performance
synthetic oil will aid in cold weather start-ups. In addition, inspect the gearbox
and airlock alignment regularly. Alignment must be perpendicular to each other,
