Every 300 hours or once a year unless damaged.
This is an indication of damage in the airlock or worn airlock seals. See the maintenance section of the operator’s manual supplied with your machine for additional information on how to fix damage or worn airlock seals.
The blower motor is sold as a complete unit with the exception of the brushes, which can be purchased separately.
Brushes should last over 800 hours depending on machine maintenance. Inspect and clean your blower motor(s) regularly, especially if you notice a lack of power or if you are operating in extremely confined or dusty condition.
Static charge is a natural by-product of material creating friction as it moves through the hose. See the troubleshooting section of the operator’s manual supplied with your machine for additional tips.
No, the remote (or a bypass plug) must be connected for it to operate.
Yes, if your machine has a slide gate, it is designed to blow cellulose and fiberglass. However, if your unit does not have a slide gate, it is designed for fiberglass only.
If the unit is stored in an unprotected environment, extreme cold conditions will affect the transmission and agitator operation. Change the oil type in the gearbox (transmission) or store the machine in a heated area to keep the gearbox oil warm.
Yes, it is best when operating your machine to start with the blower, then the agitator. When shutting off the machine, stop the agitator first - followed by the blower.
Yes, the D.O.E. (Department of Energy) requires a minimum outlet blower pressure of 2.9 for dense pack applications. Refer to your manual or call technical services at 800-666-1611
Intec offers two different pressure measuring devices which are used at the outlet of the machine. Please call technical services at 800-666-1611 for the best solution.
Standard hose length is 100 feet for most applications. Shorter hose lengths may result in less conditioning of the material and possibly less coverage. Maximum length for most applications is 150ft for WASP, FORCE/2 and FORCE/3.
The hose actually plays a major role in the conditioning of material (up to 50%) and should be inspected regularly to make sure the ridges are pronounced and not worn smooth, which will affect performance and coverage. Intec recommends changing out the hose every 2-3 years for optimum performance and coverage.
The FORCE/1, Cyclone and FiberForce all use 2.5-inch hose. The FORCE/2, FORCE/3 and WASP units all use 3-inch hose.
