PRE-ASSEMBLY PROCEDURES
HANDLING AND SET-UP PRECAUTIONS
It is the responsibility of the installer to use safe unloading, handling, and construction
practices. If you have any questions about proper installation of the unit or accessories,
contact Master-Bilt.
NOTICE
Use material handling procedures appropriate to the job you are doing. Failure to use proper
loading or handling procedures or to follow manual instructions can cause bodily injury or
damage to your blast chiller.
Forklifts used to handle skids or panels must have forks
at least four feet long and set far enough apart to
adequately support panels or skids (see Figure Below).
Forklifts must have the capacity to support panels
weighing two pounds per square foot each.
STORAGE
When the unit must be stored at the job site prior to set-up, it is very important that it be
stored properly.
NOTICE
The panels should be stored on a level area eliminating the risk of the panels falling and
injuring someone. The panels being stored should not be stacked over 2 skids high.
Whenever possible store the unit indoors. Panels stored indoors may be stored in their
original factory packaging. If it is necessary to store panels outdoors, stack them vertically
on skids, with spacers between the panels. This protects the panel edges and provides
proper ventilation. This method of stacking permits drain-off of moisture and guards
against rust stains.
Panels should be covered with a waterproof covering to protect them
from the weather. Master-Bilt recommends black polyethylene
sheeting, which keeps sunlight out and eliminates the "greenhouse"
condition, which occurs when clear plastic is used. In heavy traffic
areas, it is advisable to place protective rails around stacks of panels
to guard them from any possible damage.
