ASSEMBLY
Prior to packing, your machine has been assembled and tested to assure quality performance. However, to
safeguard against damage in shipping, certain items are packaged separately within your carton and will need
assembly. Removeextradrivechainwhichmaybeusedlatertochangeshredderdirectionforotherapplications.
BLOWER DOOR: (See Illustration A)
(BlowerFiltermustremaininBlowerDoor.) Anappropriatesizehose(NOTSUPPLIED)isattachedtotheBlower
Door input tube and the other end is located elsewhere to provide clean air to blowers. A fine screen (NOT
SUPPLIED), acting as a filter, over end of hose eliminates accumulation of unwanted debris. This will eliminate
frequent cleaning of the Blower Filter. (Frequent inspection of input hose is recommended.)
POWER CORDS: (20-30 amp twist lock inputs only)
Femalereceptacle(s)need tobewiredproperly tomainpowercord(s). (For 240volt60 hz. seeillustrationE and
consult electrician for assistance.) Units shipped to European countries will have standard (2) two prong 230V

cords due to the varying electrical plug configurations in different countries, unless provided by Krendl agents or
suppliers.
SLIDEGATE HANDLE:
Prior to packing, the slidegate handle was assembled backwards to safeguard against damage in shipping.
Remove handle and reinstall, so handle sticks out back of machine. Do not over tighten nut, so handle is free
to spin.

SHREDDER ASSEMBLY:
This unit is supplied with a shredder assembly; airlock/agitator speeds are preset at the factory. No further
sprocket setting speeds are needed, as this system will accommodate most fibers and applications. However,
the shredder direction can be adjusted as described below.
Unidirectional Rotation (See illustration I) is preferred as an all-
around setting for a combination of materials and applications. This
setting provides for the greatest coverage and best control of the
fibers in wall cavity spray, commercial spray, internal wetting (stabi-
lized) and open blow applications.
Center-Down Rotation (See illustration J) force feeds the insulation
into the airlock at a faster rate. This direction is preferred for the
greatest productionof various insulation in an open attic blow applica-
tion although coverage may decrease. This setting will provide ample
coverage and good control of the insulation in wall cavity spray, com-
mercialspray, internalwetting (stabilized)and openblowapplications.
Mechanical Settings (cont.)
GENERAL BLOWER CONTROL AND SLIDEGATE SETTINGS FOR OPEN BLOW: (See Illustration H)
With the slidegate closed, turn agitator-feed motor on and variable speed blower control(s) on low. Fill
hopper with insulation and adjust blower control and slidegate. In making adjustments, move controls
proportional to each other. (i.e. If variable speed blower control is half speed, slidegate should be half open.)
Open slidegate to allow insulation to drop into the airlock providing good production, but not beyond point where
hose plugs. As hose length is increased, the blower control speed is increased while closing the slidegate
proportionally. This will increase the distance insulation can be blown through the hose and improve material
coverage rate, while decreasing the blowing production rate (lbs. per hour blown). These adjustments are for
openblow. If specialtyapplicationor retro sidewallwork is done,refer to GeneralBlower/Slidegate Settings chart
(belowleft) orinsulation manufacturer.
GENERAL BLOWER/SLIDEGATE SETTINGS:
Since specific settings need to be determined by each operator, the following are only suggested guidelines.

GENERAL MAINTENANCE
Periodic preventive maintenance will add years of life to your equipment. Reviewing the information in this
manual will go a long way in reducing downtime and lost income.
KEEP CLEAN: During operation, keep material from accumulating on Blower Filter. Always keep Filter in
place while operating machine. After each use, remove fiber from hopper and blow out hose. (Use
BLOWER mode at Main Control Panel or Hand Pendant.) Clean air from insulation hose can then be used
to blow insulation from agitator motor and Blower Filter area. The Blower Door attached to this unit reduces
filtermaintenance. (See Illustration Aon page8)
Airlock: (SealReplacement)
The purpose of the airlock seal is to trap air and insulation until it rotates 180Oto the 6:00 o'clock position. At
this point, insulation is pushed by air from the blower, out of the chamber. Worn or damaged seals allow air and
insulation to escape back into hopper, thus reducing production and coverage. When it is necessary to replace
seals,follow thesedirections:
Disconnect power from unit!! Remove hose from input of airlock, remove chain on output. Using a 5/8”
socket,remove hold downbolts fromairlock. Lower thefront of theairlock downby looseningthe jamb nutsand
turning the liftbolts counterclockwise. Slide the airlock out of the machine. (See illustration L) Airlock rotor
plates that are damaged (bent) will need replaced. (Refer to Rotor Plate Replacement on next page.) Take out
rubber seal by removing fastening bolts, nuts and top plate. The base plate will remain attached to airlock shaft.
To install a new seal, reverse procedure. Seal should be inserted tight against the back base plate, pressing the
lower tabs of the seal down under the adjacent seal with a flat blade screwdriver. Make sure all bolt holes are
alignedwhile eachside ofseal isequally pressed againstthe endplates, beforetightening bolts. Sealshould be
bent forwards for counterclockwise rotation. (See Illustration N on page 17)

BASE PLATE REPLACEMENT:
1. Remove damagedbaseplate assembly fromshaft usingratchet
drive wrench with extension and 1/2" socket.
2. Check seal for wear and damage. (Installing seal and top plate
on the bench is quick and easy). Remove bolts from plate
assembly and replace with new seal. Make sure seal and top
plate are assembled on correct side of base plate before
assembling in airlock. Seal should press backward towards
top plate when installed correctly into airlock chamber. (Illustra-
tion N)
3. Install therotor plateassembly intothe airlock. The airlockruns
counterclockwise viewing it from the sprocket drive shaft.
(Illustration N) Align the base plate with holes on airlock shaft
using a tapered punch. Caution: Do not mount rotor plate
backwards. If installed improperly, damage to seals will result
and put undue stress on agitator motor. This causes overheat-
ing and poor production. Seal should be bent forwards to allow
for a counterclockwise rotation of rotor.
4. As rotor plate is installed, press bottom tab of seal under
adjacent seal with flat blade screwdriver. (See Illustration N)
Note: Entire rotor plate assembly may be removed and
replaced. This procedure maybe easier than replacing
just the seals.

CHAIN: (#50Nickel Plated)
ADJUSTMENT: A smooth operating chain drive should have a slight sag on the idler side of the chain. New
chains should be installed under slight tension as they will elongate a small amount due to seating of pins and
bushingsduring thefirst fewdays of operation. Chainshould bekept ingood conditionby proper lubrication(dry
film lubricant Dow 321) and occasional cleaning. Soaking chain in container of 10 weight oil will provide for
internal lubrication of pins and bushings. However, excess oil must be drained and wiped away as excessive
lubrication will cause insulation accumulation on chain. Worn out chain should be replaced. When chain is
replaced, worn sprockets should also be replaced, preventing further damage to new chain.
SPROCKETS:
CHECK SPROCKETS FOR WEAR. Misalignment and/or loose sprockets and improper chain tension causes
thepremature wearof chainand sprockets. Allsprockets, except speed reducer and idler sprockets, have been
secured with a medium grade Loctite (general purpose thread locker), to prevent gradual movement. The set
screwsand keyare alsoinserted witha mediumgrade Loctite. Ifsprocketis difficultto remove,it maybe heated
with a propane torch to loosen.
Caution: Donot overheatsprocket ordamage tobearing willresult. A pulley orbearing pullercan thenbe
used to remove the sprocket and key. Replace new sprocket on shaft with key and medium grade Loctite
applied to shaft. Align sprocket with corresponding sprocket, using a straightedge placed along face of
teeth and tighten set screw. Speed reducer sprocket does not require Loctite.
