 GENERAL GUIDELINES FOR INSTALLATION
OF
B&L CREMATION SYSTEMS, INC.
N-20AA HUMAN CREMATION RETORT

AMENDED 8/14

Your new B&L Cremation Systems, Inc. cremation/incineration equipment will arrive on a flatbed truck.
After the tarp and hold-down straps have been removed, please inspect your unit for any damage that
might have occurred during shipment. If any damage is found, please contact the factory at once. DO
NOT unload or sign the Bill of Lading.

1. UNLOADING OF YOUR EQUIPMENT BY CRANE

See equipment specifications for size and weight.

Upon arrival of the crane, have the rigger locate the four (4) lifting lugs (see Drawing #1) located on top
of the unit, and install shackles or other such devices to enable the crane to lift the unit from the flatbed
truck. This unit can also be lifted by placing slings under the unit, if preferred. NOTE: Spreader bars
should be used to prevent pinching the top of the unit.

The unit should be raised from the truck bed, and the truck should pull forward from the load.
Immediately lower to a close proximity to the ground in order to decrease the distance to the ground,
in case the shackles or rigging should fail.

The crane may now maneuver the unit as close to the building opening as feasibly possible. Tank dollies
or equipment rollers should then be placed under the upright side-supports of the unit. The crane can now
lower the unit onto the rollers, and the rigger may now disengage the crane. The unit should then be
physically pushed into its final position.

If your state requires permits, they must be in hand prior to shipping the unit to your location. B&L
Cremation Systems, Inc. submits only for the environmental permit; any other permits that may be needed
are your responsibility. Please check with your local authorities.

NOTE: Pipe or solid round stock can also be used.

Locate the four jack points (see Drawing #1). Toe jacks or a similar apparatus may now be used to raise
the unit in order to remove the equipment rollers or tank dollies. The unit may now be lowered into its
final position, and the toe jacks can be removed. The unit should be as level as possible, and any
unevenness in the floor should be compensated with metal shims (see Drawing #2). The rigger may now
proceed in the bolting together of the stack sections (no gasket is required). The crane can now lift the
stack into place, and the rigger will bolt the flange on the bottom of the stack to the stack section on the
top of the unit. The crane and flatbed truck may now depart. The unit comes with two tie-downs on the
back of the unit so it can be secured to the concrete pad. Your contractor needs to drill lag bolts in slab to
anchor unit to slab in final position (½” diameter hole in tie downs for anchoring purposes).

2. UNLOADING OF YOUR EQUIPMENT BY FORK TRUCK

Lift retort to clear trailer bed after determining the balance point. NOTE: Forks should be fully
extended sideways to ensure stable lift. Once raised, the truck can drive forward from under the load.
Lower unit onto rollers and push into building to its final position.

See crane instructions for final setting. (Pg. 1)

A qualified electrician may now bring the required power to the control panel (see specifications for
voltage requirements on Pg. 5). Check with the factory if this is a remote installation. Your local utility
company or plumber can hook the gas line to the unit and test for leaks (for pipe size information, see
Drawings #4 and #5).

Upon completion of all of the above, contact the factory for a start-up date. Please allow for a minimum
of two weeks notice.

NOTE: The above mentioned procedures are to be used only as a guide. Your own installers may
wish to differ from these guidelines as they see fit.

SITE SPECIFICATIONS

The concrete pad should be at least 4” thick (6” if possible), and the building and clearances should meet
all local and federal codes (see Drawing #3 and #8).

The roof hole size should be approximately 36” diameter with no combustibles closer than 18” from the
stack, or 6” from the stack with a stack thimble (see Stack and Roof Detail #6 and Roof Thimble Detail
#7). Please see applicable local codes.

The roof flashing is supplied by the customer, unless otherwise arranged.
