Chiller Unit Spring Isolator Installation

1. The document provides installation instructions for SCSR Seismic Restrained Spring Isolators. 2. The instructions include properly locating each isolator, attaching equipment to the isolator plates, adjusting the isolators by turning spring nuts until the top plate lifts off spacers, and removing spacers. 3. Key steps are to handle isolators with care, position isolators under equipment ensuring load is centered, attach equipment, back off hold-down nuts until locked, and turn spring adjustment nuts in a specified sequence until the top plate lifts off all isolators.
