c. Position the mounting blocks on the support beams and lower the vessel onto the blocks.
Maintain support of the vessel with the lifting device.
NOTE
The RO vessels must be positioned precisely so that all connecting pipes match
properly when assembled to the vessels.
d. Position the RO vessel as follows:
1) The end of the vessel nearest the electrical system panel box must be 14 in.
from the outside edge of the vertical beam next to the panel box (see Figure 10).
