General Notes

Introduction
All Col-Met Spray Booths, Inc. ovens are thoroughly tested during the assembly process. Most installations are therefore relatively simple. Installation typically includes unloading the oven, moving the oven to the desired installation site, attaching gas and electric service, and attaching the exhaust stack. Some installations require the burner box to be installed at the jobsite. Larger ovens may require some mechanical assembly at the jobsite. Col-Met Spray Booths, Inc. does not normally provide installation services. However, supervision services for any or all parts of the installation process are available from Col-Met Spray Booths, Inc. Only qualified personnel should perform the installation. Specifically, qualified personnel typically include equipment riggers, electricians, mechanical contractors and properly trained end user personnel.

Unloading, Handling and Placement
2.1
Unloading and Moving the Oven
Smaller ovens are normally shipped by motor freight. They can usually be unloaded by forklift. Larger ovens are shipped with special carriers. They are typically wrapped in plastic and/or covered with tarps. Larger ovens can be unloaded by lift truck. A spreader bar must be used when lifting burner boxes from overhead. Anytime a lift truck is used in handling an oven, the forks should enter from the sides of the oven and go under the oven frame. Larger ovens that require unloading by lift truck may require two or more trucks. Special care should be taken in using lift trucks to unload ovens. Handling the oven on the floor often includes means such as shuffling pipes, material handling carts, special equipment or dragging. Qualified equipment riggers are all familiar with these methods. All material handling carts and equipment should support the oven frame. Do not place handling carts under the middle of the oven unless the frame is also supported. If the oven has a removable overhead burner box, overhead hoists are necessary for reassembly.
2.2
Oven Location
The oven should be located at or above grade on a level, non-combustible floor. Adequate space should be provided above the oven and on all sides to permit routine maintenance and inspection. A minimum of three feet clearance must be maintained between the oven and any combustible walls or ceiling. The explosion proof relief doors and hatches cannot be obstructed. Per NFPA 86 and OSHA 1910.107 (2), no open flame or spark-producing equipment shall be located in any area where volatiles are sprayed or within 20 feet of such a spray area, unless separated by a partition. This would also include mixing areas, paint storage areas or any flammable materials.
