• Follow all written instructions provided by Loring, and verbal instructions from Loring Customer
Support, regarding site preparation prior to receiving the coffee roasting equipment.
• All contractors or subcontractors involved in installation or working with specic connections
(e.g., water, air, gas, electrical, hot and cold exhaust stacks) should be fully licensed and
qualied in that particular functional area.
• Comply with all applicable rules and regulations and governing agencies.
• Many of the roaster components have stainless steel fasteners attaching to stainless steel parts.
Stainless steel has a tendency to “seize” when over-tightened. Use care when fastening and
apply food-grade anti-seize compound to fastener threads.
• Loring reserves the right to change information within this document at any time without notice.

Introduction
Audience
Additional Documentation
The intended audience for this manual, the S15 Assembly and Installation Guide, includes
customer-side general contractors, facilities managers and other individuals who are responsible for
assembling the roaster and connecting it to ventilation and site utilities.
Upon receiving the roaster, the customer’s general contractor assembles the roaster, connects
the utilities including water, gas, and electric, and connects the hot and cold stack ventilation.
Prior to turning on the equipment for the rst time, the customer must schedule a site visit from a
Loring Field Service Technician 2 weeks in advance. The Loring Field Service Technician performs
nal system commissioning. The commissioning period (start-up period) also includes hands-on
customer training in the use and maintenance of the roaster.
The following additional documentation is available to aid with assembly and installation. Contact
your Loring Account Representative for more information.
• Product Specication Form (PSF). This form contains customer-supplied information that is
necessary in order for Loring to congure the roaster at the factory, a process that requires
several weeks lead time. The customer must have completed the PSF before manufacturing of
roaster can begin.
• Pre-Installation and Site Preparation Guide. This guide outlines the steps that the customer
must take prior to receiving the roaster.
• Mechanical Interface Control Documents (MICDs). These technical drawings provide detailed
information on system dimensioning and components, as well as system weights. They are
intended for permit submittals and for use by general contractors, as well as by architects and
facilities planners. These drawings are available upon request from Loring.
• Stack Manufacturers. Loring can provide a list of stack manufacturers upon request. Allow
several weeks lead time for ordering from these manufacturers.
WARNING: Operating the roaster prior to nal inspection and commissioning by an
authorized Loring Field Service Technician will void the warranty.

The roaster equipment is crated specically to minimize potential damage during shipping. Use care
when opening and unpacking the roaster crates, and follow the uncrating instructions for selected
items.
• Components are secured using nylon ties. White nylon ties are permanent, and should be left
intact. Red nylon ties with tails can be cut.
• Some accessory components are bolted to the wall and roof of the crate. Use two people when
unbolting these items, one person inside and one outside the crate.
• Open the crates by removing the clips using a large at-bladed screwdriver. Use care when
opening crates to avoid damage to roaster components.
• Some fasteners are temporary, such as the bolts used to fasten the S-Duct to the Accessory
Crate wall and roof. Fasteners intended for the roaster are shipped as follows: already attached,
or in separate plastic bags, labeled and attached to the piece of equipment for which they are
used.
Notes for Unpacking
Open crate using clips
Leave white nylon ties intact
Do not pry open crates with a crowbar
Cut red ties
Additional tools include a multimeter to test the Ground Wire for the Green
Bean Hopper Vacuum Hose, and food-grade anti-seize compound to
prevent fasteners from seizing during assembly.

Attach the exible Vacuum Hose to the Vacuum Hose Connection on the Green Bean Hopper. The
end that attaches to the Green Bean Hopper has a screw-on clamp on the outside, and remains
connected. Note the differences between the two ends of the Vacuum Hose. The standard hose has
a stainless steel nozzle at the other end. The nozzle is grooved to enable air to pass through the
hose, even if the end comes into contact with a smooth surface such as the oor.
If an optional green bean cart is used, the other end of the attaches to the Green Bean Cart. This
end has an operable clip with an exposed surface inside the Vacuum Hose. This end is detachable.
