the AERCO Benchmark Boilers, models 750, 1000, 1500, 2000, 2500 and 3000.

2.2 RECEIVING THE UNIT

Each Benchmark Boiler System is shipped as a single crated unit. The shipping weight for these
BMK models is approximately as follows:
BMK 750:
BMK 1000:
BMK 1500/2000: 1800 lbs. (817 kg).

The unit must be moved with the proper rigging equipment for safety and to avoid equipment
damage. The unit should be completely inspected for evidence of shipping damage and
shipment completeness at the time of receipt from the carrier and before the bill of lading is
signed.
CAUTION!
While packaged in the shipping container, the unit must be moved by pallet jack or forklift from
the FRONT ONLY.
NOTE:
AERCO is not responsible for lost or damaged freight. Each unit has a Tip-N-Tell indicator on
the outside of the crate. This indicates if the unit has been turned on its side during shipment. If
the Tip-N-Tell indicator is tripped, do not sign for the shipment. Note the information on the
carrier's paperwork and request a freight claim and inspection by a claims adjuster before
proceeding. Any other visual damage to the packaging materials should also be made clear to
the delivering carrier.

2.3 UNPACKING

Carefully unpack the unit taking care not to damage the unit enclosure when cutting away
packaging materials
After unpacking, make a close inspection of the unit to ensure that there is no evidence of
damage not indicated by the Tip-N-Tell indicator. The freight carrier should be notified
immediately if any damage is detected.
