place insert will produce when determining a loca-
tion.
3.2 Floor Support and Protection
IMPORTANT: Adequate accessibility clearances for ser-
vicing and proper operation must be maintained.

moved if attached by mechanical fasteners. If neces-
sary, remove firebrick to obtain at least the minimum
opening requirements.
