MH-RFG-IR  Installation and Operation Manual

LIFTING THE  APPLIANCE

1.  USING A CRANE

The appliance arrives with four lifting eyes at-

tached. When craning, use a spreader

bar with a two-legged sling rigged on each end.

The spreader bar should be of a sufficient length

to keep the sling from contacting the sides of the

appliance.

NOTE:  Once lifting eyes are no longer

needed, remove the lifting eyes one at a time AND

BE SURE  TO REPLACE THE BOLTS THAT AT-

TACH THE MAIN BODY  TO THE STAND.

2.  USING A FORKLIFT

USING A PALLET JACK TO MOVE THE APPLIANCE

Once the appliance has been removed from the delivery ve-

hicle, it can easily be moved on flat surfaces using a pallet

jack.  To lift with a pallet jack, remove the front and rear  angle

iron stabilizers from the base of the stand and place a stout

4x4 post through the fork pocket as shown.  THE APPLIANCE

IS VERY  TOP-HEAVY, MOVING THE APPLIANCE UP OR

DOWN A RAMP ON A PALLET JACK IS 

NOT SAFE!

Contact Wood Stone if the appliance must be turned on its side for specific instructions. Moving a

Wood Stone oven can present interesting challenges to even the most experienced riggers.

Take your time, use your head, secure the proper equipment and make safety your first priority.  Please

don’t hesitate to call the factory for technical support (1-800-578-6836).

DO NOT TURN THE APPLIANCE ON ITS SIDE!

UNLOADING AND MOVING

LIFTING EYES

Be sure to use a forklift rated to lift more than the

appliance weighs as shown below. Fork length must

be at least 6 feet, if not, fork extensions should be

used.  The stand is equipped with fork pockets just

above the angle iron base.  

The appliance is very

top heavy so spread the forks as far apart as pos-

sible.
