INITIAL ADJUSTMENTS AND ROUTINE CHECKS
NOTE
If the tank is cut or punctured during any phase of operation, refer to WP 0006 00 for
emergency repair procedures.
1. Position filled sandbag (1) under hose (2) near filler/discharge elbow (3). This support will reduce
stress on the tank fitting, the gasket in the hose coupling, and the coupling of filler/discharge elbow
(3).
WARNING
Check the placement of sandbags to see potential leak points in order to avoid fire
hazard. Not checking the positions of sandbags can cause serious injury or death
by fire or explosion.
2. Position other sandbags (1) or wood blocks on the ground near the hose connections so that a faulty
or leaking connection is easier to see, and a fire hazard can be avoided.
3. Inspect the tank to verify the elevated connection setup for easy leak detection.
4. Check drain ball valve (4) to verify that it is in the closed position.
5. Check the vent pipe assembly relief cap (5) to verify freedom of operation.
6. Check the filler/discharge gate or ball valve (6) to verify closed position.
