Set boiler in place

Ensure the equipment and cables used for lifting are designed to handle the load. See Figure 5 for approximate weights of model 88 section assemblies. Failure to comply can result in severe personal injury, death or substantial property damage.

For packaged boiler:

1. Remove top jacket panels. Set aside until after boiler is piped.

The boiler contains ceramic fiber and fiberglass materials. Use care when handling these materials per instructions on "Handling ceramic fiber and fiberglass materials," page 34 of this manual. Failure to comply could result in severe personal injury.

2.Remove lag screws (2 in front, 2 in rear) from shipping rails.

3.Remove boiler from skid. Cables are already attached to block as- sembly. See Figure 5 for lifting weight.

•Using crane — hook middle of each cable to eye of crane.

•Using hoist — hook middle of each cable to hoist. Raise boiler off skid. Use pipe rollers under skid angles to roll boiler.

4.Place boiler in final position. Center boiler on foundation, if used.

5.Level boiler. Shim under skid angles, if necessary.

6.Cut off cables.

Cables are not intended for long-term usage. Cables may corrode inside boiler, weakening their lifting strength. Failure to remove cables can result in severe personal injury, death or substantial property damage.

7. Proceed to "Perform hydrostatic pressure test," page 11.

For block assembly:

1.Remove lag screws (2 in front, 2 in rear) from shipping rails.

2.Remove boiler from skid. Cables are already attached to block as- sembly. See Figure 5 for lifting weight.

•Using crane – attach free end of cables to eye of crane.

•Using hoist – attach free end of cables to hoist. Raise boiler off skid.

Use pipe rollers under steel skid angles to roll boiler.

3.Place boiler in final position. Center boiler on foundation, if used.

4.Level boiler. Shim under skid angles, if necessary.

5.Cut off cables.

6.Inspect block assembly for disjointed sections. Check gas-tight seal of flue collector hood and cleanout plates.

Gas tight seal must be maintained to pre- vent possible flue gas leakage and carbon monoxide emissions, resulting in severe personal injury or death.

a.Check inside section assembly for any light passing through unsealed areas.

b.Mark all unsealed areas.

c.At unsealed areas, check for:

•Damaged gaskets.

•Sealing rope not in place.

•Loose bolts or nuts.

d.Correct all conditions and repeat step b. If un- sealed areas still exist, contact your Weil-McLain distributor or sales office before continuing installation.

7.Proceed to "Perform hydrostatic pressure test," page 11.
