The wye and tee assembly (4) is the receiving manifold for the system. Grounding equipment should be
used whenever fuel is received through the manifold, because contact between the manifold and the ground
is not perfect.
Connect suction hose assemblies (5) between the wye and tee assembly (4) and gate valves (6). Connect
the remaining suction hose assemblies (7) at the wye and tee assembly (4), pumps (2) and gate valves (8).
Connect suction lines to tee assemblies, gate valves and hose assemblies supplied with the tanks (1).
Connect discharge hose assemblies (9 and 10), wye assemblies (11 and 12), gate valves (13) to pump (2),
filter/separators (3) and tee assemblies (14). Connect reducer (15), discharge hose assemblies (16 and
17), tee assemblies (18), reducer (19), quick-acting valve (20), hose assemblies (21) and tee assemblies
(22).
Connect hose assemblies (23) and quick-acting valves (24) to tee assemblies (14). Connect hose
assemblies (25) and quick-acting valves (26) to tee assemblies. Connect hose assemblies (27) and nozzles
(28) to tee assemblies (22).
Ensure dust caps (29 and 30) and dust plug (31 ) are in place.
CAUTION
Extreme care must be taken to prevent injury to fingers or hands when driving the ground
rods. Do not place hands between the ram and drive collar. Gloves should be worn.
Remove nozzle grounding rods from accessory containers. Grounding rods are mandatory for use with the
system. Ground system properly by driving rods into ground at least 36 inches before connecting nozzle
ground cable clamps. Nozzle ground rods will be placed near the end of the discharge hose, so each
nozzle can be hung on the bracket on the top of the grounding rod when the nozzle is not in use.
