CAUTION
When tank is being prepared for storage or transportation, make sure that the inflation
valves remain open. The tank collar and cover float may be damaged if the valves are
closed and the tank encounters different atmospheric pressures.
5. Deflate the cover float (5) by turning the center part of the inflation valve clockwise to open for Models
91038 and 90074. Do not close the inflation valve after float is deflated. For WT2008, deflate float and
remove float from drawstring holder for storage in valise.

open for Models 91038 and 90074. For WT2008, deflate tank collar, unscrew deflation valve located on
the top surface of the collar, then roll the tank up to expel the air. Do not close the inflation valve after
