Tower Shipment
Unless otherwise specied, AV Series towers ship by truck (on at bed
trailers), which lets you receive, hoist, and install the tower in one con-
tinuous operation. Single-cell towers ship on one truck. Multicell towers,
depending on their size, may require more than one truck.
Responsibility for the condition of the tower upon its arrival belongs to the
trucker—as does the coordination of multiple shipments, if required.
Receiving Tower
Prior to unloading the tower from the delivering carrier, inspect the ship-
ment for evidence of damage in transit. If damage is apparent, note the
freight bill accordingly. This will be needed to support any future recovery
claim.
Find and remove the installation instruction drawings and bills of material
(literature kit) located in a plastic bag in the cold water basin. This informa-
tion should be kept for future reference and maintenance purposes.
Hoisting Tower
AV6300 through AV6700 models consist of two modules per cell. The upper
module includes hoisting clips at the top of the module. The hoisting clips
on the lower module are located near the bottom on the ends of the cold
water basin. All other models ship in a single module. The hoisting clips
for the single height models, AV6100 and AV6200, are located at the top
of the tower. A Hoisting-Installation label is located on the side casing
near the access door and on a drawing in the literature kit. Remove tower
from the carrier and hoist into place according to the instructions on the
label or on the drawing.
Hoisting clips are provided for ease of unloading and positioning
tower.Foroverheadliftsorwhereadditionalsafetyisrequired,safety
slings should also be placed under the tower. Under no circumstances
should you combine the top and bottom modules of AV6300 through
AV6700 models and attempt to hoist them at the same time by utiliz-
ing the hoisting clips alone!
