Initial Inspection
If your new BLUE OX units were shipped in by truck you should inspect the carton for damages or possible
shortages. If there are any signs of possible shipping damages, unpack the units and make a note of the
shortage or damage on the freight bill before signing it. If the carton is opened at a later time and there is
damage to the unit, you should file a concealed damage claim with the delivery carrier. They are responsible
for any damages in shipment or shortages that were actually shipped.
Installing Your New BLUE OX Units
All installations must meet all electrical or mechanical building codes that may apply in your particular area.
If there are no local requirements, you should follow the National requirements. If the optional
Drain Plug
was installed in your unit, you ca
n connect an appropriate 3/8” I.D. rubber hose for oil/mist routing.
All chains, hooks, bolts or other items used in the installation must be at least strong enough to support FOUR
times the weight of each unit. Unit weights are as follows:
BLUE OX3500C ............................................................. 260 lbs.
BLUE OX3500C-
CF……………………………………… 280 lbs.
BLUE OX3500C-WA ...................................................... 325 lbs.
Methods for Mounting your OX3500C unit
There are many different ways to install your units. The most common method of installing the units is to
support them from the ceiling structure with four chains. If the factory is going to utilize this method, you
should have 4 holes drilled down through the top of the unit approximately 6” from each end and 1” from each
side of the unit. The factory will then install Eye-Bolts that can be used to attached chain or rod. An eye-bolt
kit is available at an
additional cost and includes 5’ section of chain and Q
-Links.
Another available option is Strut Channel, which will be placed underneath the Blue OX and then hung with
appropriate steel chains and Q-Links.
The top end of the chains must be secured to the ceiling structure in a safe and acceptable manner.
The last typical method for installation is a duel L-Bracket mount, which is ideal for wall mounting.

ensure all installations are secure and meet all local, state, and federal codes. Be sure your unit is connected
to the proper voltage and is protected by correct size fuses or breakers.
