Note
:
• Obvious damage should be noted on delivery paperwork. Hidden damage must be reported to carrier within ten days.
• Cleaning heater using local plant standard is recommended prior to installation.
• Storage tanks are typically shipped directly from vendor.
Depending on heater size and mode of shipping, one of two scenarios may apply.
Small heaters (approximately AFD-5000 and under) when shipped with adequate height clearance in vehicle:
• Top plate and upper canister will be attached and upright.
• A fork lift will usually be adequate for moving. Use of a strap or chain is recommended.
Large heaters:
• Top plate will be bolted to lower canister.
• Upper canister will be on its side with top covered.
• A crane or hoist of some kind will be needed for moving. At least two, preferably four straps or chains will be needed.
1. Stand upper canister upright and position near final heater location.
Note:
Remove cover and, if necessary, rearrange palls until they are approximately level and do not interfere with spray nozzles.
2. Wipe off flange and place gasket on it with holes aligned.
3. Remove cable ties from wiring and unbolt top plate from lower canister.
