This document is to be used to understand the system and to assist in the diagnosis and resolution of minor machine problems . SYSTEM OVERVIEW The AttiCat Expanding Blown-in Insulation System consists of:

1) a blowing machine, 2) the hose, and 3) the bags of expanding loosefill insulation . The AttiCat blowing machine consists of the feeder and the base . The feeder is the portion of the system where the operator inserts the insulation; a gravity feed guides the insulation down onto the agitator bars in the base . Paddles on the rotating agitators break apart the insulation into smaller pieces . Insulation flows through the agitators and into the revolving valve, and is then blown into the hose by the blower . The entire path - from agitators through the hose - is required to properly condition the insulation for use in the attic . The hose is made up of two or three sections . Clamps are used to attach the sections together . The hose is attached to the base of the machine by a twist-on coupling . The attic end of the hose has a wireless remote control unit to start and stop the flow of insulation . The system is completed by the bags of the loosefill blown-in insulation product . Each of the parts is integral to the proper operation and quality of the blown-in insulation process . 1 MACHINE 2 HOSE 3 3 BAGS OF INSULATION SYSTEM SAFETY FEATURES FEEDER The feeder is designed to enclose the insulation hopper to protect against injury by prohibiting easy access to the agitator bars within the base unit while the machine is running . The machine will not run if the feeder is not attached . This further protects the operator from the moving agitator bars and possible injury . AUTOCUTTER The AUTOCUTTER assembly completely encloses a standard utility knife blade . A blade guard on the inside of the feeder protects users from any cutting injuries . CENTER OF GRAVITY Most of the machines mass is concentrated in the lower unit, creating a very stable machine despite its height .

(CAUTION: The base unit should be lifted by two people .) The center of gravity also enables the machine to be easily tipped slightly and wheeled around like a dolly by one person . 4 SPECIFICATIONS IMPORTANT NOTE: Use only AttiCat Blown-in PINK Fiberglas Insulation. Other Materials May Damage the Machine and Void the Warranty 36 FEEDER 26 LBS 571/4 32 231/4 BASE 115 LBS PRODUCTION RATE Approximately 7 pounds/minute, or 4-5 minutes/Bag HOSE DIAMETER 21/2"

ELECTRIC WEIGHT 115 VAC 60HTZ requires one (1) 15 amp circuit to operate 141 lbs Machine only 206 lbs shipping 5 GENERATORS AND EXTENSION CORDS Choosing the Correct Extension cord Use only a three conductor, grounded, 14 gauge, 15 amp extension cord, 100 feet maximum . Note:

1 . Adding Additional Power Cords will damage the machine and void your Warranty . 2 . Using a generator of insufficient size or incorrect type will void your Warranty . Your AttiCat machine will operate on power from a commercial-sized generator . No household generators may be used due to the high inrush requirements of the AttiCat machine . Also, generators made by Honda, Yamaha, Coleman and Generac are not recommended. While they are of high quality, these generators do not have the inrush protection devices necessary to start the AttiCat machine and protect the generator . The start-up requirement for the AttiCat machine is 2000 watts; normal operating requirement is 1600 watts . We recommend a generator of not less than 3000 watts, 115 VAC . In addition, the AttiCat Manufacturer recommends generators with a 50% power boost feature that aids the generator in high current startups . Running additional equipment from the same generator means you will need to know the total electrical requirements before selecting the correct size of generator . For details on selecting and purchasing a generator, please call 1-800-GET PINK . An input line reactor will protect the AttiCat electronics from transient overvoltage conditions and harmful harmonic distortions (over 10%) which are common problems with electronic generators . If you plan to power the AttiCat machine from a generator other than as specified by the AttiCat manufacturer, contact the AttiCat manufacturer to purchase the input line reactor . This particular line reactor is made specifically for machines utilizing a Variable Frequency Drive such as used by the AttiCat machine . It is enclosed in a weather-proof box designed for proper heat dissipation . The box can be either mounted on the AttiCat machine or at the generator . 6 GLOSSARY FEEDER LATCH Attaches the feeder to the base unit . (On rear of feeder .) AGITATOR PADDLES Rubber ends riveted to the agitator bars . AGITATOR BARS Aluminum arms that hold the riveted rubber agitator paddles . AGITATOR SHAFTS Attached to the agitator shafts

Shuts down the current flow when a ground fault is detected to protect the user from electrical shock . ELECTRICAL INLET 14-gauge, 15-amp extension cord attaches here . ATTIC WIRELESS REMOTE Attic end of hose has ATTIC REMOTE controlling machine from attic . 7 BAIL GUIDE Folded plastic part inside feeder opening used to guide half-

bags of insulation toward the AUTOCUTTER so the package can be cut, opened and released easily into the feeder . AUTOCUTTER Small utility blade attachment used to cut each half-bag of insulation when fed into machine . VALVE Revolving vanes attached to the blower (blown-in insulation is grabbed by the six (6) vanes and blown into the hose .) CONTROL PANEL Allows operator to start and stop the machine . AIR INTAKE VENTS Take air into the base unit; covered with screens to keep debris from being pulled into the machine . WHEELS Allow machine to be tipped back and moved around like a dolly . HOSE COUPLING Machine end of hose has twist-on hose attachment allowing entire hose to be securely attached to base unit . HOSE Hose sections are attached to each other with hose clamps; entire hose is attached to machine with twist-on hose coupling . OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS Personal Protective Equipment Protective clothing and equipment, including a properly fitted NIOSH or MSHA approved disposable dust respirator (such as 3M Model 8210, Model 8271 for high-humidity environments, or equivalent), gloves, goggles, and a long-sleeve shirt and pants . Required Installation Materials Bags of AttiCat Blown-in PINK Fiberglas Insulation

(calculate number of bags needed using the chart on the bag) AttiCat machine and hose assembly Extension cord (three-conductor, with ground, 14-gauge, 15-amp) Drop cloths Eave or soffit ventilation baffling material, such as Owens Cornings raft-R-mate attic vents Cardboard or metal baffling Knife to cut insulation bags AttiCat rulers and a marking pen Staple gun Lighting and a ladder to safely access attic Inspect any duct work in the attic and make sure all connections are sound . If necessary, seal duct joints prior to installing insulation . Place the AttiCat machine outside of your house or in your garage . Lay drop cloths in the house along the path of the hose to protect floors and other surfaces . Run the hose into the attic. Extend enough hose to reach the furthest point in the attic . NOTE: AttiCat machine shoots insulation a distance of approximately 8 to 10 feet . The AttiCat system works with two peopleone in the attic installing and the other operating the machine . Job Preparation Examine your attic to be sure it is adequately ventilated. Owens Corning recommends a minimum of 1 square foot of venting for every 150 square feet of space to be insulated . Install a rigid barrier around the attic access opening to prevent insulation from falling out when you open the attic door (Owens Corning FanFold Foam Residing Board; Foamular, Insulpink, or ProPink Foam Insulation Board; or equivalent) . Be sure the barrier is taller than the thickness of the insulation you plan to install . CAUTIONS Do not block eave venting (soffit vents) with insulation . Use vent baffles such as Owens Corning raft-R-mate attic vents (or equivalent) between eave vents and attic to ensure air flow . When working in the attic, walk only on the ceiling rafters or joists and not on the ceiling . Be careful of overhead obstructions and nails penetrating through the roof deck . Maintain a minimum clearance of 3 around any heat-generating sources (lights, flues, etc .) in the attic . If a light fixture is labeled IC-rated, it is safe to lay insulation over it . WARNINGS KEEP HANDS AND TOOLS AWAY FROM ANY MOVING PARTS . DO NOT ATTEMPT TO CLEAN THE AttiCat MACHINE OR HOSE UNTIL MACHINE IS COMPLETELY OFF AND EXTENSION CORD IS DISCONNECTED . NEVER OPERATE THE AttiCat MACHINE IF IT OR THE OPERATOR IS STANDING IN WATER . SERIOUS INJURY MAY RESULT. Owens Corning shall not be responsible for any injury, damage, loss, cost, expense, or liability relating to failure to follow these instructions . Failure to follow these insulation instructions may affect Owens Cornings obligations under this products limited warranty . 8 HOW TO INSTALL Assemble machine . Run hose to attic . Cut bags in half . Install rulers . Install eaves baffles and rigid barrier . At the machine (person #1) Plug extension cord into AttiCat machine; connect to a standard 115 V electrical outlet . Green light on control panel will illuminate . Connect hose to machine and take the other end into the attic . Feed only half bags to avoid jamming and damaging the machine .

May 4, 2010 Federal Communications Commission c/o American Telecommunications Certification Body, Inc. 6731 Whittier Avenue Suite C110 McLean, VA 22101 RE: Certification Application FCC ID: XVD40019 15.19 Statement To whom it may concern, Please find attached to this letter photos of the device for which we are seeking certification. As the device is intended to be used, it is attached to the end of a 2 or 2-

1/2 diameter hose and it is used to blow fiberglass insulation into attic spaces. Typically, this transmitter is being used in the attic of a home and the insulation blowing machine is located outside the home. The hose is 100 to 150 feet in length and is very inflexible. Consequently, the hose, with the transmitter attached is typically dragged though the construction site as it is deloyed and stored. This subjects the transmitter to substantive abue. The transmitter enclosure was made relatively small and tapered to facilitate pulling though constuction sites without snagging on obstructions and damaging the transmitter. Additionally, the identification labeling is located in a recess for protection. Unfortunately the 15.19 statement will not fit on the label. Any additional labeling that we add may not survive when the product is in use, and therefore we request a waiver from placing the 15.19 statement on this transmitter. We will, however; prominently place the statement in the user manual. Thank you for your attention to this matter. Regards, Christopher M. Relyea President
