2.5.3 BMK5000 & 6000 Lifting Provisions
Two (2) lifting lugs are provided at the top of the primary heat exchanger (see Figure 2-3c). The
location of the lifting tabs is marked on the shrink-wrap coving the unit for shipping.
Remove the four (4) lag screws securing the unit to the shipping skid, and, if still in place,
remove the front Top Panel. Lift the unit off the shipping skid using a spreader bar and position
it on the (required) concrete Housekeeping Pad in the desired location.
WARNING!
When lifting or moving the boiler, do not attempt to manipulate the unit using the gas train or
blower. A spreader bar is required for all vertical lifts. Failure to use a spreader bar can put
excessive force on the unit and can cause boiler failure.
