• 1 1 NOTE:Your tank will arrive with a Quick Disconnect assembly(see Figure 2-3 QD)unless you have a liquid-filled interstitial space tank.If the tank is not Ell configured as shown in the illustration prior to pre-installation testing,call the PRIMARY(INTERNAL)TANK TEST Xerxes Coordinator at the plant nearest you or the Technical Services Department at Xerxes'headquarters. NOTE:Keep the tank vertical(the reservoir on top)during the preinstallation testing or the liquid(typically brine)may drain from the reservoir. QUICK DISCONNECT ASSEMBLY 1.Open one service fitting and the fitting on the reservoir.Check for liquid in the reservoir-it should be about half full. Do not NOTE:In order to test the primary tank alone,the test hose must NOT be open the monitor fittings-liquid(typically brine)will be lost. connected to the service fitting-keep the nylon tie in place. Remove the remaining fittings,redope,and reinstall fitting plugs. PRIMARY(INTERNAL)TANK TEST 2.Visually check the interior of the tank for liquid-there should 1.Connect the test manifold to an available service fitting. not be any.
