Section II. ASSEMBLY AND INSTALLATION
2-4.
ASSEMBLY. After the tank has been unpacked, deployed, and inspected, perform the following steps in order.
CAUTION
All metals on the tank and the tank accessories are aluminum alloy. Do not drop or
strike these items. Scuffed or bent accessories will not assemble properly.
NOTE
For ease in emptying the tank completely, dig a hole under each drain fitting.
a.
Fold about 10 feet (3.05 meters) of each end of tank back over the rest of the tank to expose connections for
drain assemblies located on the bottom of the tank.
b.
At the point where the drain fittings strike the ground, dig a hole approximately 36 inches (91.5 centimeters)
long by 36 inches (91.5 centimeters) wide and 3 inches (7.5 centimeters) deep. Keep the drain fittings
contact points centered.
NOTE
When attaching drain hoses to the drain fittings, wrap the drain hose male threads with 3
or 4 layers of Teflon tape to ensure a positive seal. Make sure both male and female
quick-disconnect fittings are clean. Check female couplings for clean gasket.
