Inspection & Unpacking
The unit arrives completely assembled, except for the TDO valve, flue stack and flue
elbow which are usually packed separately and shipped inside the kettle.. The unit
is strapped on a skid in a heavy box. Inspect the box carefully for damage. Open the
container and check the unit for hidden damage. Report shipping damage or shipment
errors to the delivery agent.
Write down the model number, serial number, and installation date for your unit at the
top of the Maintenance and Service Log at the back of this manual. Keep the manual
on file and available for operators to use.
To remove the kettle from the box, cut any straps from around the box. Detach the box
sides from the skid. Pull the box up off the unit, taking care to avoid damage or injury
from any staples left in the box walls. When installation is to begin, cut the straps
holding the kettle to the skid, and lift the kettle straight up off the skid. Examine the
packing materials to make sure no loose parts are discarded with the materials.
Once the kettle is unpacked, the tangent draw-off valve is easily attached, as shown
below. The large nut which attaches the valve to the kettle should be hand tightened
only.
