STORING THE FURNACE TUBE
The furnace tube remains secure in its padded cradle atop the pallet, beneath
the furnace. Do not attempt to lift the pallet and tube singlehanded. Carefully
transport the pallet, with the tube secure inside, to its storage space for the
Installer.
Do not remove the tube from its cradle.
GAS SUPPLY PANEL INSTALLATION
You are responsible for installing the included gas supply panel along with a
gas cylinder rack, according to the specifications in the
Facilities Guide
. For the
cylinder storage rack, we suggest
McMaster #2283T17
or equivalent. Once the rack is properly installed and
a single gas cylinder in place for reference, you can
mount the gas supply panel above it, within 3.6m
(12’) horizontal travel of the furnace, according to the
Facilities Guide
specifications. Note that the gas supply
panel weighs more than 40lbs; exercise caution when
lifting and mounting it.
A mounting bracket is included in the gas supply panel
shipping box. The bracket will be affixed to the wall
above the gas supply cylinder rack, and the supply
panel suspended from it.
1. Before mounting the panel, determine its location
relative to the cylinder rack. Mark the four bolt-hole
locations on the wall -- a two-person task. Then remove
the sheet metal panel cover and set the panel aside.
(See diagram on next page.)
2. To correctly situate the bracket on the wall, draw a
straight line between the upper two markings; the
bolt holes in the bracket will lie along this line. Center
the bracket along the line and securely fasten it to the
wall using appropriate hardware.
3. Lower gas supply panel into place, suspended from
the bracket, flush with the wall. Securely fasten to
the wall using appropriate hardware.
Set aside any
remaining shipping material.
