WARNING
Securing Fireplace
The fireplace is secured to the pallet with 4 brackets, on
each side. Re-use these same brackets to secure the fire-
place to the floor.
The brackets are attached with the short flange attached
to the pallet and the long flange attached to the fireplace.
These may be turned around so the longer flange attaches
to the floor. We recommend that the brackets are turned
around for a concrete attachment. Figure 33.1.
There are 4 holes on each flange. Secure each flange with
bolts. Choose the holes that best secures the fireplace to
the floor. Please note that you always want to include the
washer on the bolts that attaches to the floor.
You can re-use the same bolts and washers that attach the
fireplace to the pallet. However, there is also a full set of
bolts and washers included in the component pack.
After properly securing the fireplace to the floor, the shipping
slide rail "L" brackets may be removed and discarded.
Testing for Deflection & Removing Handles
Remove the bolts from each lower side of the fireplace and
slowly roll out the fireplace on the rail system.
Inspect attachment of brackets to the floor and fireplace to
ensure there is zero deflection in the outer can when it is
rolled out on the rails.
CAUTION!
• If there is any deflection, this could cause damage to the
finishing material such as tile, mortar, etc.
• If fireplace is not properly secured, finishing materials will
not be covered under warranty.
Remove the lift handles as they could rattle if left in place.
Re-install the bolts in the firebox to prevent leaks after remov-
ing the handles.
