professional training, conduct,
and strict adherence to applicable
jurisdictional/professional codes and
regulations.
Unless otherwise noted, this heater is
certifi ed for indoor installation only.
A competent rigger experienced in

handle rigging your equipment into
position.
The equipment must be installed on a
non-combustible surface.
Ensure all labels on the heater are
legible. All connections and safety
devices, both mechanical and
electrical, must be kept clean, with
ease of access for inspection, use and

CAUTION
Do not allow weight to bear on
equipment components to prevent
damage.
Placement & Rigging
Proper placement of your Fulton Product (see Figures 1 and 2, 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 heater applications
before beginning.
2. Make appropriate determinations for placement, based on the following:
 Check building specifi cations and Table 3 for permissible fl oor loading.
 Ensure the equipment is to be placed on a non-combustible level base
with adequate clearances from combustible materials. See Clearances &
Serviceability section.
 Locate heater 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 heater 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 heater 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.
3. Determine rigging procedure, based on the following:
 Units are shipped upright and crated for forklift transport. Once
uncrated, all units can be transported with a forklift with the exception of
freestanding models FT-0080C, FT-0120C, FT-0160C and FT-0240C. These
four models can only be lifted for unloading and moving by means of
lifting lugs at the top of the heaters. 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 heater.
4. Install a 4 inch (102 mm) curb completely around the unit. In the event of a
large spill, this will help contain the fl uid.
