INSTALLATION

RECEIVING THE SMOKER

Your smoker can be shipped via a contract hauler on a flatbed trailer (all models), or Common Carrier (all

models except SPK-1400 and trailered smokers). Once the smoker arrives you will need a forklift to remove

the crated smoker from the truck (Common Carrier deliveries) and install the permanent legs on the smoker

(all deliveries).

NOTE: The above weights are for the base model only.

DELIVERY LOCATION

Commercial smokers are large and heavy. Before scheduling the delivery of your smoker have a plan and lo-

cation in place to accept the delivery of the smoker and maneuver the smoker into the desired installation loca-

tion. The trucker will require a flat, level surface that is safe from traffic to unload the smoker. A forklift will

be required to unload the smoker and install the permanent legs on the smoker. The trucker is only responsible

for delivery of the smoker. It is your responsibility to unpack the smoker, move it to its installation location,

and install the smoker.

WARNING:

If the forklift forks are not long enough to support the entire smoker/crate do not attempt

to move the smoker; obtain another forklift or use fork extensions.

WARNING:

Only proper heavy lifting machinery and heavy lifting equipment should be used for

unloading, moving and installing the smoker. This duty should only be performed by

professionals trained in this kind of work. Improper handling of the equipment could

result in damaging the smoker or personal injury and even death.
