Figure 4-20. Tank against skid.
k. Place an empty tank skid against the tank (see figure 4-20.). Place the lifting straps across the skid.
(These straps are used to lift the tank off the skid; they do not hold the tank to the skid.)
l Unroll the rolled end of the tank backward onto the skid until the vent opening is clear again (see figure 4-
21.) and in the center of the skid.
(1) Roll the tank from side D, evacuating product and air and maintaining the width of the folded tank.
(2) Before the final roll, place the vent and dust cap on the vent and wrap with protective barrier material.
m. When properly folded and rolled, the tank will fit within the dimensions of the skid.
(1) Place the three tie-down straps under the floor of the skid (see figure 4-22.)
(2) Wrap the straps with cushioning material, then winch them until the tank is secure on the skid.
(3) Be careful to not winch so tight that the tank is creased.
