Crane Bracket Placement
Base Module Crane Brackets
Install the crane brackets onto the modules if not already installed.
Base modules and middle modules utilize four crane brackets. Brackets mount to stack module support
pads.
Lifting usually occurs between the 2nd column from fan end to the 6th column from fan end. This will vary
with model number.
The module should remain parallel to the earth as it is lifted.
Figure 3A
Top Module Crane Brackets
Top modules utilize two (2) crane brackets with four (4) lifting points and a spreader bar between them.
These mount to column seams on the roof screen.
Lifting usually occurs between the 2nd column from fan end to the 6th column from fan end.
The module should remain parallel to the earth as it is lifted.
A crane with sufficient lifting capability must be used.
Loads of 5,000 to 15,000 pounds should be expected.

3. Module Preparation and Installation
Setting Lower Module on Pedestals
1. Install stiffeners and service platform in
accordance with PNEG-349REV. At each
stiffener/pedestal location, remove the 1/2" bolts
and nuts that attach the dryer frame leg to the
frame rail. Use that hardware to attach a stiffener
base connector clip (D01-1045). (See Figure 3C
and Figure 3E.)
Figure 3C
2.Lift base module and position it in the location the
dryer is to occupy. NOTE: Crane brackets may
need to be adjusted to ensure that the module will
be parallel to the ground when lifted. With the base
module in position, bolt a pedestal to each stiffener
base connector clip using 3/8"-16 x 1-1/2" bolts
(S-7928). (See Figure 3D.)
Figure 3D
Figure 3E
3. With a stiffener splice (SS-7053), splice the
pedestal to stiffener at each pedestal location.
Make sure all nuts and bolts used so far have
been tightened.
Figure 3F
Personnel working around this equipment while it is lifted into position must
use extreme caution.
Lifting equipment (crane and rigging) must be of proper lifting capability for the
unit size and weight. All local safety precautions and procedures
must be followed.

5. Anchor lower module to foundation. If anchor bolts
were not set when the concrete was poured, drill
holes in the foundation to accept anchor bolts (use
3/4" x 9-5/8" minimum anchors with epoxy resin).
(See Figure 3I and Figure 3J.) GSI has 1" x 12"
anchor bolts (Part # S-8957), tubes of epoxy
(GTC-0004) and mixing nozzles for epoxy tubes
(GTC-0005). An epoxy gun will be needed.

7. NOTE: This step is not required for a 20' dryer. Use 1/2"-13 x 1-3/4" bolts (S-3883) and 1/2"-13
lock nuts (S-6493) to attach support leg assemblies to rear corners of the dryer frame. Use the grey
shim (D01-1221) to fill the gap between the support leg and dryer frame. On the right side it may
be necessary to remove the cotter pin and slide the clean out door pivot rod forward enough to
insert the top bolt. (See Figure 3L.)
Figure 3L
8. Use 1/2"-13 x 1-3/4" bolts (S-3883) and 1/2"- 13 lock nuts (S-6493) to attach support legs to hitch
weldment as shown in Figure 3M. Once installed, anchor the support legs to the foundation.

3. Module Preparation and Installation
Setting Upper Module in Place
11. Once the upper module is in place over the lower module, slowly start to lower the upper module.
Make sure that the frame tie downs (D61-0011) come down to the outside of the module support
pads to which they will be bolted. Notice that the connecting section end (factory installed) has a
tab that extends below module frame. This tab will slide into the lower module just behind the
plenum end panel. (See Figure 3P.)
Figure 3P
12. When the upper module is set in place and the crane is bearing none of the weight, check to be
sure the upper module is level. If the upper module is not level place module support shims
(D61-0089) on the module support pads. It may be necessary to raise the upper module slightly
to place these shims. (See Figure 3Q.)

Securing Upper Module
13. Once the upper module is set and level, use 1/2"-13 x 1-1/2" bolts (S-3728), 1/2" washers
(S-2120), 1/2"-13 lock nuts (S-6493) and bolt the frame tie downs (D61-0011) on the upper
module to the module support pads of the lower module. (See Figure 3S.)
14. Use 3/8"-16 x 1" (S-7927), 3/8"-16 nut (S-968) and a stiffener splice (SS-7053) to splice the
stiffeners of the lower module to the upper module. (See Figure 3R.)
15. Use 3/8"-16 x 1" (S-7927), 3/8"-16 nut (S-968) to connect the top angle bracket of the lower
module to the frame tie channel of the upper module. There may be a small gap between these
two parts, if so, the 5/16" bolts connecting the top angle bracket to the lower module can be
loosened just enough to adjust the height of this bracket (the holes are slotted). Be careful not to
loosen the bolts too much, there is no convenient way to get to the nutson these bolts. If the bolts
are loosened just enough to adjust this bracket they can be retightened without having to holdthe
nut on the other side. (See Figure 3T.)
16. If you are stacking a three module dryer perform Steps 9 - 15 for placing the third module.

5. Ladder Cage Installation
1. To install the safety cage for the rear ladder of the bottom module, connect two (2) large bell hoop
halves (LS-4352) together and connect two (2) small bell hoop halves (LS-4351) together. Attach
a safety cage bracket (LS-4349) to each end of those assemblies. Use 5/16"-18 x 3/4" bin bolts
(S-275) and 5/16"-18 nuts (S-3611) (See Figure 5A, Figure 5B and Figure 5C.)
2. Use five (5) 44" safety cage vertical supports (LS-4353) and connect the small and large bell hoops
assembled in the Step 1 using 5/16"-18 x 3/4" bin bolts (S-275) and 5/16"-18 nuts (S-3611).
NOTE: Leave one side of this assembly open so the rear access door on the dryer will
not be obstructed.
3. Now locate the safety cage bolt holes on the ladder (See Figure 5A.) Use 5/16"-18 x 3/4" bin bolts
(S-275) and 5/16"-18 nuts (S-3611) to install safety cage onto the ladder.
