2.4.2 Setting the Unit
The unit must be installed on a 4 inch to 6 inch housekeeping pad to ensure proper condensate
drainage (see NOTE below). If anchoring the unit, refer to the dimensional drawings in Figure 2-
1b for anchor locations.
NOTE
When using the AERCO Condensate Neutralizer Tank for proper
condensate drainage, the Neutralizer Tank must be stored in a pit, OR the
boiler and AERCO Condensate Trap must be elevated higher than 4”
above the floor. See Condensate Tank instructions in TID-0074 for details.
After unpacking and inspecting the boiler, remove the four (4) lag screws securing the boiler to
the shipping pallet. The boiler can be lifted and moved by inserting forklift tines in the front slots
provided in the base of the unit, or it can be lifted by attaching a lifting bar to the unit’s heat
exchanger. A lifting bar (59174), with attaching hardware, is supplied with each unit. When
shipped, this bar is attached to the rear of the unit as shown in Figure 2-2, View A. One (1)
