3. USING A PALLET JACK
Once the appliance has been removed from the delivery vehicle, it can
easily be moved on flat surfaces using a pallet jack. To lift with a pallet
jack, remove the front and rear angle iron stabilizers from the base of
the stand and place a stout 4x4 post through the fork pocket as shown.
ThE APPLIANCE IS VERY TOP-hEAVY, MOVING ThE APPLIANCE UP OR
DOWN A RAMP ON A PALLET JACK IS NOT SAFE!
Contact Wood Stone if the appliance must be turned on its side for specific instructions. Moving a Wood Stone
appliance 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.
dO NOT TURN THE APPLIANCE ON ITS SIdE!
dELIvERY NOTE:
The customer will receive a Shipping Notification when the unit 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.
2. USING A FORKLIFT
Be sure to use a forklift rated to lift more than the appliance weighs as
shown below. Fork length must be at least 6 feet, if not, fork extensions
should be used. The stand is equipped with fork pockets just above the
angle iron base. The appliance is very top heavy so spread the forks as far
apart as possible.

LIFTING THE APPLIANCE
1. USING A CRANE
The appliance arrives with four lifting eyes attached. When craning 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
appliance.
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
APPLIANCE TO ThE STAND.
