Tower Installation
These installation instructions are intended to help you prepare before
your tower arrives. If discrepancies exist between these instructions
and those shipped with the tower, the instructions shipped with the
tower will govern.
1. Prior to placement of the tower, confirm that the supporting platform is
level, and that the anchor bolt holes are correctly located in accordance
with Marley drawings.
2. Place bottom module on your prepared supports, aligning anchor bolt
holes with those in your supporting steel. Make sure that the orientation
agrees with your intended piping arrangement. Attach tower to supporting
steel with four
5 ⁄
8
" diameter bolts and flat washers (by others). Position
flat washers between the bolt head and the tower bottom flange.
3. Before setting top module in place on bottom module, clean any de-
bris from the top of the bottom module. Ensure that the fill surface is
free from debris and all fill packs are level. Recommended tie-down
instructions are provided to the truck driver upon tower pickup. If dam-
age occurs to the tower due to tie-down procedures other than those
recommended in the drawing, it should be noted upon arrival. Remove
the protective paper off the sealing gasket tape before setting the top
module and ensure there is coverage around the entire perimeter. Place
the top module on the bottom module, aligning mating holes as it is
set in place. Make sure that the orientation of the top module agrees
with your intended piping arrangement. Sections are 180° reversible
with respect to each other. Pay close attention to face designations
on sales orientation drawings e.g. Face A, Face B, etc. Use drift pins
to align bolt holes during the assembly of the top and bottom modules
as the top is lowered into place. Use care when setting the modules as
lifting and resetting the top module will compromise the sealing gasket
between the two sections, possibly resulting in a leaking joint. If the
top module must be reset, it may be necessary to remove the sealing
gasket tape and replace.
Gasket details must be followed correctly or leaks may occur that
will not be covered under warranty.
4. Attach top module to bottom module with fasteners provided—according
to “MD Field Installation Manual”.
