TM 10-4320-316-14
4-4. SITE AND SHELTER REQUIREMENTS. Continued.
a. Siting. Select an installation site for the DED pump assembly that is relatively level. Be very sure that the site
you have selected will provide adequate air circulation around the unit to prevent dangerous accumulation of poisonous
exhaust gases from the engine.
b. Shelter Requirements. Operation of the DED pump within a shelter is not recommended since the collection of
exhaust gases present extremely dangerous hazards to operating personnel.
4-5. SERVICE UPON RECEIPT. The following paragraphs contain the procedures for unloading, unpacking, and
general checking of the unpacked DED pump.
a. Unloading. The DED pump is packaged in a container designed for shipment and handling with the unit in an
upright position. The base of the container is constructed as a shipping pallet with provisions for the insertion of the
tongs of a fork-lift. The unit may be lifted by fork-lift, crane, or sling. To unload the DED pump, perform the following
steps.
(1)
Remove all blocking and tie downs that may have been used to secure the container to the carrier.
WARNING
Do not allow the unit to swing while suspended from a lifting device. Failure to observe
this warning may result in injury to personnel and damage to the equipment.
CAUTION
Use care in handling to avoid damage to the DED pump. If an overhead lifting device
must be used, use an appropriate sling so that the weight of the unit is supported by the
base of the shipping container.
(2)
Use a forklift truck or other suitable material handling equipment to remove the unit from the carrier.
b. Unpacking.
CAUTION
To protect the DED pump and prevent damage, the DED pump should be left packaged
until it is moved to the location where it is to be installed.
NOTE
The shipping container is of such a design that it may be retained for re-use for mobility
purposes if frequent relocation of the DED pump is anticipated.
(1)
Cut the metal bands that hold the top of the shipping container to the base.
(2)
Remove the cushioning around the top of the unit's sound enclosure and retain, if re-use is anticipated.
