WARNING
All information in this manual is for
reference and guidance purposes,
and does not substitute for required
professional training, conduct,
and strict adherence to applicable
jurisdictional/professional codes and
regulations.
Crystalline silica may be present
in components of this equipment.
Exposure to crystalline silica may
pose signifi cant health hazards,
including but not limited to eye and
respiratory system damage. Per
the Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC) and Occupational
Safety and Health Administration
(OSHA), appropriate Personal
Protective Equipment must be worn
to minimize exposure to hazardous
substances. Refer to most current
guidelines off ered by the CDC and
OSHA for more information, including
Personal Protective Equipment
recommendations.
This boiler is certifi ed for indoor
installation only.
A competent rigger experienced in
handling heavy equipment should
handle rigging your equipment into
position.
The equipment must be installed on a
non-combustible surface.
Do not store or use gasoline or other
fl ammable vapors and liquids or
corrosive materials in the vicinity of
this or any other appliances.
Ð
CAUTION
Do not allow weight to bear on
equipment components to prevent
damage.
Placement & Rigging
Proper placement of your Fulton Product (see Figure 1, and Tables 1 and 2) is
essential. Attention paid to the following points will save a great deal of diffi
culty
in the future. Correct placement is the fi rst step to trouble-free installation,
operation and maintenance.
Adhere to the following for equipment placement and rigging:
1. Consult authorities with jurisdiction over any national or local codes
(including but not limited to National Fire Protection Agency (NFPA),
American National Standards Institute (ANSI), Underwriters Laboratories
(UL), SCA, and ASME, which might be applicable to boiler applications
before beginning.
2. Make appropriate determinations for placement, based on the following:
Check building specifi cations and Table 2 for unit weights.
Ensure the equipment is to be placed on a non-combustible level base
with adequate clearances from combustible materials. See Clearances &
Serviceability section.
Locate boiler as close as possible to the place where the heat will be used
in order to keep pipe work costs to a minimum.
Ensure that there is adequate clearance around the unit to provide
access for operators and maintenance personnel to all parts of the
equipment. Ensure also that clearance provides for component removal for
maintenance. See Clearances & Serviceability section. The equipment
should be placed in a suitable boiler house or well ventilated separate
room through which personnel do not normally pass. The layout should
eliminate traffi
c in potentially hazardous areas. For instance, the service
engineer or the operator should not have to pass exposed, hot pipe work
to make adjustments to the boiler controls.
Ensure the equipment is to be placed in such a way that the electrical
components are protected from exposure to water or excessive humidity.
Ensure the boiler is located a safe distance from the fuel oil tank (if
applicable).
3. Determine rigging procedure, based on the following:
Units are shipped and crated for forklift transport. Once uncrated, all units
can be transported with a forklift and/or lifting lugs at the top of the boiler.
All skidded units can be moved with forklifts.
If means of lifting are not available, place rollers beneath the frame of the
equipment for guidance to the position of where it is to be installed.
Under no circumstances allow weight to bear on the jacket, control panel,
burner, fuel train or fan housing of any Fulton boiler.
Tagged support legs on boiler are for shipping purposes only. These must be
removed at time of installation, and may not be used to mount or anchor
boilers.
