Assembly and Installation
Unpacking
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.
Installing Large Heaters
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.
Note
: Long bolt in blower motor bracket must
be reinstalled in that hole.
