Section 4
Installation, Initial Start-Up and Operation
4.1 Pre-Installation Assembly
The following procedures are to aid the operator in installing, operating and maintaining
the Thrush Hot-Pak. All procedures are to be performed by experienced, trained, and
certified personnel only.
There is a potential for severe personal injury or death if proper rigging
procedures are not followed. Rigging should be done with proper equipment and
qualified personnel
1. The Hot-Pak is shipped in multiple containers. A large crate houses the Hot-Pak
itself and the safety relief valve. Smaller containers house the components of the
stand and any other optional equipment. For easier installation, Thrush
recommends that the installer place the crated Hot-Pak in the intended area of
operation before unpacking the unit.
2. The adjustable support stand is designed with (2) upper brackets that will attach
to the Hot-Pak mounting tabs so that it may be installed on uneven surfaces
(Figure 4-1). The upper brackets can be lowered or raised as needed on the legs
with 30,000 lb load rated spring nuts, 3/8” bolts and washers. This feature will
allow the installer to position the Hot-Pak and its components in a level position.
The unit should be located on a surface capable of supporting the total weight of
the unit when filled to capacity.
3. After the adjustable support stand has been set in place, it should be inspected to
ensure that all parts are present and in good condition. If any parts are missing or
damaged, please contact your representative.
4. Unbolt shipping bracket (Figure 4-2) from base of crate. Use provided lift lugs to
slowly lift the unit from the crate. Remove the shipping bracket from the Hot-Pak.
While lowering unit onto the adjustable support stands (Figure 4-2) align mounting
tabs on the Hot-Pak with mounting holes on the adjustable support stand
assembly. Use supplied bolts, nuts and washers to attach the Hot-Pak to the
stand. Remove the lift lugs.
5. Once the adjustable support stand has been attached to the Hot-Pak, the unit can
then be raised or lowered to level or to mate with existing piping. With the Hot-Pak
still attached to the rigging equipment, the upper brackets (Figure 4-2) can slide
up or down within the support stand legs simply by loosening the bolts and spring
nuts and repositioning the height of the Hot-Pak to as necessary. Once the
position is achieved, ensure the Hot-Pak is level and tighten all nuts and bolts.
6. Once the Hot-Pak is attached to the adjustable support stand, the (4) feet can be
bolted to the floor (Figure 4-1).
