the ladder brackets on the modules -- and follow the suggested sequence illustrated earlier in
this chapter.

Consider the orientation of each module as it pertains to ladders and catwalks before placing it
on the module for connection.
•
Secure the module with clevis hooks and lifting straps. Lift with crane and place on top of
next module.

Place section together but do not fully rest upper section on lower section.
•
Use hammers and punches to line up connecting holes in channels both inside and outside
of dryer.

Caulk gaps with clear food-grade silicone as needed.
