OPERATION IN EXTREME HEAT
1. Operation under conditions of high heat may cause equipment problems due to thermal expansion. Nozzle
seals are especially subject to damage. Basic system operation is as described in WP 0005. The following
additional steps and recommendations should be implemented to protect the system to the extent possible.
2. Protect the system from direct sunlight if possible:
Position system components in the shade of trees, buildings, etc. If shade is available only part of the day,
choose afternoon shade. Do not block air circulation.
Use any material available to create shade. Do not block air circulation.
3.
Check for leakage due to thermal expansion of the fuel. If leakage is evident, then relieve the expansion
pressure by operating the dispensing nozzle into a pail. Notify Maintainer Maintenance.
END OF TASK
OPERATION IN EXTREME COLD
WARNING
The FDS must not be handled in extreme cold with unprotected hands. Failure to comply
may result in injury to personnel.
Operation under conditions of extreme cold may cause equipment problems due to loss of lexibility. Nozzle
seals and coupling face seals are especially subject to damage. Basic system operation is as described in
WP 0005. The following additional steps and recommendations should be implemented to protect the system to
the extent possible.
General Recommendations:
1. Set up system in area protected from wind, if possible.
3. Remove snow or ice from coupling ends before making connections to prevent entry of foreign material
into system.
4. Make and break cam-locking connections slowly and carefully to avoid cracking or splitting of face seals.
5. Do not try to force open couplings that appear jammed. Work back and forth to break loose ice at coupling face.
