TM 5-3895-368-14&P h. Remove hot oil and asphalt piping as follows: (1) For installations with a single unit installed, refer to figure 2-5, and disconnect components and remove from melter. (2) For installations with multiple units installed, refer to figure 2-6, and disconnect  components  and  remove  from melter. (3) Refer   to   figure   2-4   and   disconnect   and remove pipe assemblies (2, 6, 19 and 22) and gate valves (7). NOTE The asphalt jacketed valve (16, Figure 2-4)  and  3/4  inch  hot  oil  hoses  (11) and  piping  need  not  be  removed  for shipping or storage purposes. (4) Install  cover  (14)  onto  connector  (13)  and install  covers  (9,  figure  2-5)  on  exposed flanges   of   oil   piping   welded   to   storage tank. (5) Install   pipe   caps   (2,   figure   2-3)   on   oil piping of tunnel (1). i. Remove  the  front  rainshield  (3,  figure  2-3),  side rainshields  (4,  5,  11,  and  12)  in  that  order,  and rear rainshield (13). j. Attach a four-point sling to the lifting eyes on top of  the  tunnel  and  lift  (approximately  5000  lbs.) the  tunnel  off  the  storage  tank  with  a  suitable lifting device.  Place the tunnel on wood  blocks, positioned to support the tunnel support rails. k. Clean the melter and piping (paragraph 4-1). l. Cap or tape all pipe sections to prevent entry of foreign material. m. Stow all items listed in Table 2-2 in toolbox. n. Stow  all  items  listed  in  Table  2-1  in  wood  crate and place inside the tunnel. o. Stow  the  trolley  and  electric  hoist  in  a  suitable box that will fit inside the tunnel. p. Open the tunnel doors and secure with blocking. Stow    the    storage    crate,    ladder,    load    ramp, trolley,  and  electric  hoist  inside  the  tunnel  and close the doors. q. Remove  the  four  holddown  bars  (9,  figure  2-3), securing   the   tunnel   support   beams   (8)   to   the storage   tank.      Lift   out   the   two   tunnel   support beams. r. Attach a four-point sling to the lifting eyes on top of  the  tunnel  and  lift  (approximately  5000  lbs.) the  tunnel  off  the  blocking  and  carefully  lower  it into the storage tank with a suitable lifting device. For  travel  by  rail,  center  the  tunnel  in  tank  as much as  possible  and  provide  wood  blocking  at four  corners  of  the  tunnel  beside  the  front  and rear  door  frames.    Blocking  should  be  sufficient to  prevent  tunnel  movement  within  the  storage tank. s. Re-install    the    tunnel    support    beams    in    the storage  tank,  securing  with  the  holddown  bars (see Figure 2-1). t. Attach a four-point sling to the load platform and lift   (approximately   150   lbs.)   the   platform   and place  on  top  of  the  tunnel,  positioned  as  shown in figure 2-1. u. Attach  a  four-point  sling  to  the  discharge  chute and    lift    (approximately    250    lbs.)    the    chute, placing  it  over  the  platform  on  top  of  the  tunnel as  shown  in  figure  2-1.    Secure  the  discharge chute and load platform to the top of the asphalt melter  tunnel  with  minimum  1.25  inch  strapping material  secured  to  the  front  and  rear  standoff pipes. CAUTION DO NOT attach lifting sling to lift eyes on  top  of  tunnel  or  to  the  stand-off guards    at    front    and    rear    of    unit. Attach lifting sling to eyes in the front and rear of the skid rails, guiding the sling cables over the stand-off guards  at  each  end  of  unit.    Ensure that sling is positioned so that hooks or    shackles    will    not    contact    the piping components at front of storage tank.  Damage to fixed piping of storage tank could result. v. Attach  a  suitable  lifting  sling  to  all  four  eyes  of skid rails, with cables guided over the top of the stand-off guards at front and rear of the unit.  Lift the unit onto the carrier bed. 5-2. Transporting. a. The  asphalt  melter  may  be  transported  by  any carrier    of    adequate    size    and    capacity    (see paragraph 1-2, for weight and shipping dimensions). b. The  unit  must  be  mounted  on  deck  of  carrier with adequate blocking on all four sides and tied down with cables or chain through the four eyes in the skid rails. 5-2
