Use the recommended start settings chart to adjust machine for the type of insulation you are using and
particular operation. The material manufacturer’s instructions prevail since they guarantee the final results.
4. Air flow rate may be controlled with the air bleed control valve 13 while monitoring system pressure on
the air gauge 14 . The system back pressure must be read while the Volu-Matic 200 machine is operating
with full length and proper hose while material is being blown. Always start the adjustment with the air
bleed control valve in the fully closed position. See Fig. down below. If the air flow and pressure deliver
the desired results with the valve closed, then do nothing to the valve. As you begin to open the valve, air
is bled off from the exit of the blower preventing flow of all air to the airlock feeder. As you open the
valve, be careful to not open completely during open blow or the blowing hose could clog because of
insufficient air volume.

CAUTION: As you open the valve, be careful not to open completely during open blow or the blowing
hose could clog because of insufficient air volume.
