Ensure the equipment and cables used for lifting are de-
signed to handle the load. See Figure 5 for approximate
weights of model 88 section assemblies. Failure to comply
can result in severe personal injury, death or substantial
property damage.
Cables used for lifting are NOT provided by Weil-McLain.
For packaged boiler:
Remove top jacket panels. Set aside until after boiler is piped. 1.
The boiler contains ceramic fiber and fiberglass materials.
Use care when handling these materials per instructions on
"Handling ceramic fiber and fiberglass materials," page 34
of this manual. Failure to comply could result in severe
personal injury.
Remove lag screws (2 in front, 2 in rear) from shipping rails. 2.
Remove boiler from skid. See 3. Figure 5 for lifting weight.
Using crane — hook middle of each cable to eye of crane. s
Using hoist — hook middle of each cable to hoist. Raise boiler off s
skid. Use pipe rollers under skid angles to roll boiler.
Place boiler in final position. Center boiler on foundation, if used. 4.
Level boiler. Shim under skid angles, if necessary. 5.
Cut off cables. 6.
Cables are not intended for long-term usage. Cables may
corrode inside boiler, weakening their lifting strength. Fail-
ure to remove cables can result in severe personal injury,
death or substantial property damage.
Proceed to 7. "Perform hydrostatic pressure test," page 11.
For block assembly:
Remove lag screws (2 in front, 2 in rear) from shipping rails. 1.
Remove boiler from skid. See 2. Figure 5 for lifting weight.

Use pipe rollers under steel skid angles to roll boiler.
Place boiler in final position. Center boiler on foundation, if used. 3.
Level boiler. Shim under skid angles, if necessary. 4.
Cut off cables. 5.
Cables are not intended for long-term usage. Cables may
corrode inside boiler, weakening their lifting strength. Fail-
ure to remove cables can result in severe personal injury,
death or substantial property damage.
Inspect block assembly for disjointed sections. Check gas-tight seal 6.
of flue collector hood and cleanout plates.
Gas tight seal must be maintained to pre-
vent possible flue gas leakage and carbon
monoxide emissions, resulting in severe
personal injury or death.
Check inside section assembly for any light a.
passing through unsealed areas.
Mark all unsealed areas.
b.
At unsealed areas, check for: c.
Damaged gaskets. s
Sealing rope not in place. s
Loose bolts or nuts. s
d.
sealed areas still exist, contact your Weil-McLain
distributor or sales office before continuing
installation.
