This document is to be used to understand the system and to assist in the diagnosis and resolution of minor machine problems . 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 . 4 FEEDERThe 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 machine’s 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 .

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…

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 attachedto this letterphotos 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 insulationblowing machineis 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. Thissubjects the transmitter to substantive abue. The transmitter enclosure was made relativelysmall and tapered to facilitate pulling though constuction sites without snagging onobstructions and damaging the transmitter.Additionally, the identification labelingis 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 foryour attention to this matter. Regards, Christopher M. Relyea President
