position.
2. Th e piping end casters are swivel type. Th e piping and front
end casters are swivel, middle casters are fi xed.
3. Adjust the leveling legs down until they are fi rmly in contact
with the fl oor. You will have to remove jacket panels to access
bolt heads and jam nuts for leveling boiler.
4. Continue adjusting the legs down until all the bott om of the

to take the load of the boiler.
Bolting the boiler to mounting blocks
1. For applications requiring that the boiler be bolted down (such
as earthquake zone requirements), use leveling legs to posi-
tion boiler at the appropriate height for the external restraints
bolted to the boiler frame.
2. See Figure 5 for details.
3. Th ere are twenty-eight (28) holes in seven (7) brackets for
mounting blocks with 3/8" bolts or anchors.
Th e mounting blocks must position the boiler
with at least 1½ inches minimum between the
bott om of the boiler base and the fl oor.

gineering design practices to verify that the fi nal
mounting will meet all seismic, structural and other
