WARNING
Carbon monoxide poisoning from engine exhaust
can be fatal. Make sure exhaust is routed away
from air intake flanges and that the truck body is
well ventilated.
WARNING
Do not smoke when refueling the tank or operating
the machine. Fumes from fuel are explosive and can
be fatal. Follow all safety precautions when handling
any type of fuel.
WARNING
Recommended hose size, type, and length must be
used to achieve maximum results. CertainTeed
Machine Works cannot guarantee performance of
the Volu-Matic 300 machine if hoses are undersized,
worn, damaged, or hoses other than those we
recommend are used.
NOTE
On PTO models, keep in mind that a weak truck
battery may not be powerful enough to run the
machine. Keep the truck battery and charging
system in very good shape.
NOTE
Decals included in the PTO box should be displayed
on the truck as indicated by the instructions provided
by the manufacturer.

VOLU-MATIC 300
Several safety features are on the Volu-Matic 300 machine to ensure operator safety. Study the safety
section thoroughly so that all the features concerning safety are understood.
This introduction is presented to provide a basic description of the function and purpose of the
Volu-Matic 300, which will help with understanding all of the items covered in the section on safety.
The Volu-Matic 300 machine is principally designed to blow insulating materials into attics of residential and
commercial buildings, and can also be configured to spray side walls. The insulation material manufacturer’s
instructions prevail when it comes to installing their product, since they guarantee the final results.
The Volu-Matic 300 machine is normally mounted in the back of a contractor’s truck and can be powered
either by a small industrial engine or by the truck engine via a power take o (PTO) box. The belt driven
power train that drives all machine mechanisms, includes electro-magnetic clutches that provide separate
control of various functions on the machine. To allow the person installing the insulation full control of the
machine, a 12-volt electrical remote control system is provided, which operates either through the provided
hard wire remote control cord and toggle switch, or with an optional wireless remote control unit. The
Volu-Matic 300 controls provide independent control of both the air that blows the material down the hose
to its destination, and the machine mechanisms that condition and feed the insulating material into that air
stream. The machine can be set at dierent speed settings with the transmission to match the material
manufacturer’s instructions.
The 12-volt electrical circuit is powered by the machine’s small industrial engine, or by the truck battery
when it is PTO driven. The electrical control circuit is protected with a 20 amp circuit breaker. A light
illuminates when the master switch is turned on, indicating that power is on for the blower relay and remote
control receptacle. When the remote control cord switch is moved toward the cord, power is sent through
the blower relay, causing the blower clutch to engage. When the remote control cord switch is moved
toward the end of the housing, power flows to the blower and mechanism relays, causing both clutches to
engage. The toggle switch in the remote control cord housing is labeled to identify these machine functions.
The switches on the optional wireless remote control unit are labeled on the transmitter to identify these
machine functions.
The hopper area where material is loaded into the machine has a jogger and circulator to open and stir the
material, and an auger at the bottom for material feed. Material exits the hopper and is conditioned by the
shredder before entering the airlock feeder. The airlock feeder deposits the material into the air stream
where it enters the hose and flows to the hose exit.
Another feature on the Volu-Matic 300 machine is a slide gate that when adjusted, is used to control both
feed rate and material conditioning. Air Volume is controlled independently with a manually operated valve,
to help optimize material coverage.

Safety
The Volu-Matic 300 insulation blowing machine has
full guarding and electrical disconnects for your safety.
Every Volu-Matic 300 machine has this warning displayed
in a prominent place. Do not remove, modify, or deface
the warning label!
WARNING: if any foreign object should enter the
machine; push an emergency stop button in (o), turn
o the master switch, unplug the remote control cord,
and shut the machine engine or power source down
before retrieving the object. Never reach into the
machine while it is operating.
