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 offoreign material.m.Stow all items listed in Table 2-2 in toolbox.n.Stow all items listed in Table 2-1 in wood crateand place inside the tunnel.o.Stow the trolley and electric hoist in a suitablebox 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 andclose the doors.q.Remove the four holddown bars (9, figure 2-3),securing the tunnel support beams (8) to thestorage tank. Lift out the two tunnel supportbeams.r.Attach a four-point sling to the lifting eyes on topof the tunnel and lift (approximately 5000 lbs.)the tunnel off the blocking and carefully lower itinto the storage tank with a suitable lifting device.For travel by rail, center the tunnel in tank asmuch as possible and provide wood blocking atfour corners of the tunnel beside the front andrear door frames. Blocking should be sufficientto prevent tunnel movement within the storagetank.s.Re-install the tunnel support beams in thestorage tank, securing with the holddown bars(see Figure 2-1).t.Attach a four-point sling to the load platform andlift (approximately 150 lbs.) the platform andplace on top of the tunnel, positioned as shownin figure 2-1.u.Attach a four-point sling to the discharge chuteand lift (approximately 250 lbs.) the chute,placing it over the platform on top of the tunnelas shown in figure 2-1. Secure the dischargechute and load platform to the top of the asphaltmelter tunnel with minimum 1.25 inch strappingmaterial secured to the front and rear standoffpipes.CAUTIONDO NOT attach lifting sling to lift eyeson top of tunnel or to the stand-offguards at front and rear of unit.Attach lifting sling to eyes in the frontand rear of the skid rails, guiding thesling cables over the stand-offguards at each end of unit. Ensurethat sling is positioned so that hooksor shackles will not contact thepiping components at front ofstorage tank. Damage to fixed pipingof storage tank could result.v.Attach a suitable lifting sling to all four eyes ofskid rails, with cables guided over the top of thestand-off guards at front and rear of the unit. Liftthe unit onto the carrier bed.5-2.Transporting.a.The asphalt melter may be transported by anycarrier of adequate size and capacity (seeparagraph 1-2, for weight and shippingdimensions).b.The unit must be mounted on deck of carrierwith adequate blocking on all four sides and tieddown with cables or chain through the four eyesin the skid rails.5-2
