2. Installation Requirements
2.1 Customer Service Start-Up (Optional)
When the Customer Service Start-Up Option is purchased it is the customer’s
responsibility to accomplish the tasks described in Sections 2.2.1 through 2.2.3
before scheduling a visit by an SST International Customer Service Engineer.
When the Customer Service Engineer visits the user’s facility the engineer will
require the full-time attention (8 hours) of at least one customer representative
who will be responsible for the operation and maintenance of the furnace system.
Tasks to be performed by the Customer Service Engineer include:
• Remove the machine enclosures, open the rear electrical compartment and
check that all mechanical, electrical, and pneumatic components are properly
tightened, correctly installed, and that nothing has been damaged during
shipment.
• Check that all facility connections to the furnace are correct and report to the
customer representative any deficiencies noted in the installation.
• Run through the installation test procedure, apply power, and bring the
furnace up to a fully operational state.
• Teach the appropriate people in the customer’s plant how to set up, program
and run the furnace system.
• Teach the appropriate people in the customer’s plant how to perform the
necessary preventative maintenance.
• Review and turn over the machine documentation and manual to the
customer representative.
Note: The Startup Option is subject to the limitations as defined at the time of
order. Please review the furnace purchase agreement for details.
