RFG Oven Installation and Operation Manual
UNLOADING AND MOVING
LIFTING THE OVEN
1. USING A CRANE
The oven arrives with four lifting eyes attached.
When craning a Wood Stone oven, use a spreader
bar with a two-legged sling rigged on each end.
The spreader bar should be of a sufficient length
to keep the sling from contacting the oven.
NOTE: Once lifting eyes are no longer needed,
remove the lifting eyes one at a time AND
BE
SURE TO REPLACE THE BOLTS THAT ATTACH
THE OVEN TO THE STAND.
2. USING A FORKLIFT
USING A PALLET JACK TO MOVE A WOOD STONE OVEN
Once the oven has been removed from the delivery vehicle, it
can easily be moved on flat surfaces using a pallet jack. To lift
the oven with a pallet jack, remove the front and rear angle
iron stabilizers from the base of the oven stand and place a
stout 4x4 post through the fork pocket as shown. THE OVEN
IS VERY TOP-HEAVY, MOVING THE OVEN UP OR DOWN
A RAMP ON A PALLET JACK IS
NOT SAFE!
Contact Wood Stone if the oven must be turned on its side for specific instructions. Moving a Wood
Stone oven can present interesting challenges to even the most experienced riggers.
Take your time, use your head, secure the proper equipment and make safety your first priority. Please
don’t hesitate to call the factory for technical support (1-800-988-8103).
DO NOT TURN THE OVEN ON ITS SIDE!

DELIVERY NOTE:
The customer will receive an Oven Shipping Notification when the oven leaves the Wood Stone factory.
This will include a PRO# and a trucking company contact number. Wood Stone recommends that you
confirm the delivery date/time with the trucking company before committing to heavy equipment and/
or labor. Our goal is a smooth and safe delivery. Thank you.
LIFTING EYES
Be sure to use a forklift rated to lift more than the
oven weighs as shown below. Fork length must be
at least 6 feet, if not, fork extensions should be used.
The oven stand is equipped with fork pockets just
above the angle iron base.
The oven is very top
heavy so spread the forks as far apart as possible.
