GENERAL INSTALLATION
4.1 RECEIVING INSPECTION
Upon receipt of the equipment, a thorough inspection of the equipment should be made. The
following points should be noted:
•
Condition of the shipping crate/skid that would indicate rough handling or possible equipment
damage
•
Condition of the equipment itself; obvious dents, bent flanges, loose or broken accessories, oil
leaks, etc.
•
Check packing list to see if any parts were shipped loose, and if they are packed with the
equipment.
REPORT ANY DAMAGE OR MISSING COMPONENTS TO THE DELIVERING CARRIER.
4.2 INSTALLATION WARNING
!!! WARNING !!!
Installation requires that the unit be moved between its retracted and extended positions. Before
repositioning the unit, ensure that all personnel are standing clear of the unit. After repositioning of the unit,
fully isolate the unit from all power sources.
Follow all local fall protection/falling object protection requirements whenever working aloft. Anchor all
large equipment that is to be installed BEFORE lifting. If a Loading Spout Positioner system is
present, this system should be fully isolated from all power sources before any lifting systems are
positioned. Moving the unit while lifting systems are in place may result in equipment damage or
tipping of the lifting system.
4.3 MOUNTING AND INSTALLATION
PEBCO®
Dustless Loading Spouts (DLS) are normally shipped in a nearly retracted position and
suspended from a wooden frame. Larger units, however, are often shipped with subassemblies on
separate skids.
Section 4.3.1
covers installation for assembled units. For large units, see
Section 4.3.2
SCDLS units mount in the same way as DLS units; however, some additional steps will be required.
These steps can be found in
Section 4.3.3
4.3.1 Installation of Assembled Units
1. Remove the bolts and straps holding the DLS in the shipping frame.
NOTE:
Do not remove packing or skid until the spout has been bolted in place, with
provided bolts, nuts, and lock-washers secure tightly.
