2.5 LIFTING PROVISIONS
WARNING!
When lifting or moving the boiler, DO NOT attempt to manipulate the boiler using the gas
train or blower.
2.5.1 BMK 750 – 1000 lifting Provisions
Unpack and inspect the unit, then remove the four (4) lag screws securing the boiler to the
shipping pallet. The boiler can be lifted and moved by inserting forklift tines in the front slots
provided in the base of the unit, or it can be lifted by attaching a lifting bar to the unit’s heat
exchanger. A lifting bar (P/N 59174), with attaching hardware, is supplied with each unit. When
shipped, this bar is attached to the rear of the unit as shown in Figure 2-3a (View A). One (1)
lifting tab is provided at the top of the unit’s heat exchanger as shown. This tab is used to attach
the lifting bar to the unit, as described below.
WARNING!
When using the lifting tab and bar, ensure there is no load placed on the gas train or blower.
Attaching the Lifting Bar: BMK 750/1000 Instructions
1. Remove the lifting bar from its shipping location at the rear of the unit (Figure 2-3a, View
A). Retain the two (2) hex head cap screws, hex nuts and flat washers.
2. Remove the top shroud from the boiler and locate the lifting tab at the top-rear of the heat
exchanger.
3. Attach the lifting bar to the heat exchanger lifting tab using the hardware removed in step 1
(Fig. 2-3a, View B). The upper end of the lifting bar containing the oval cutout should be
positioned over the top of the heat exchanger as shown.
4. Using proper rigging equipment capable of lifting 1200 lbs. (544 kg)
, lift the boiler and
position it on the housekeeping pad.
5. After the boiler is properly set on the pad, detach the lifting bar and replace the shroud on
the top of the unit, but retain the lifting bar for possible reuse at the installation site.
