Before beginning the tank installation, read through the entire Installation Manual and Operating Guidelines (subsequently referred to as "Installation Manual"). It is the responsibility of the owner, installer and operator to follow all requirements contained in this Installation Manual and to comply with all federal, state and local safety regulations that may apply to tank installations and operations. 1.1.2. No instructions or procedures presented in this Installation Manual should be interpreted so as to put at risk any person's health or safety, or to harm any property or the environment. 1.1.3. The following definitions will serve as a guide when reading the Installation Manual: ®WARNING Indicates a potentially hazardous situation, which, if not avoided, could result in death or serious injury. ®CAUTION Indicates a potentially hazardous situation, which, if not avoided, may result in minor or moderate injury. CAUTION A Caution without the safety alert symbol indicates a potentially hazardous situation, which, if not avoided, may result in property damage. 1.1.4. Keep this Installation Manual available at the installation site to refer to safety procedures as needed. ® WARNING Follow OSHA regulations for tank excavations. Collapse of excavation walls could result in death or serious injury. 1.1.5. Working in and around excavations is dangerous. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has specific requirements that must be followed. Prior to beginning work at the site, the installer must obtain a copy of OSHA's Standard, Part 1926, Subpart P (Excavations), 650-652. A copy of this standard is available free of charge at OSHA's Web site: www.osha.gov. 1.1.6. Careless activity or reckless operation of equipment can cause death, serious injury or property damage. 1.2. GENERAL 1.2.1. It is important to follow the procedures and instructions in this manual in order to safely and properly install a Xerxes underground storage tank and accessories. Failure to follow these instructions will void the tank warranty and may cause tank failure, serious personal injury or property damage. 1.2.2. The Xerxes warranty applies only to a tank installed according to these instructions. Since Xerxes does not control the parameters of any installation, Xerxes' sole responsibility in any installation is that presented in our warranty. 1.2.3. It is the responsibility of the owner and operator to always follow the operating guidelines set forth in Xerxes' applicable warranty and SECTION 18 of this Installation Manual. A Xerxes warranty is found in each product brochure or is available upon request from the UST coordinator at the Xerxes plant nearest you. It is the responsibility of the owner to retain this Installation Manual for future reference to operating guidelines. 1.2.4. Use the Tank Installation Checklist (included in this manual) for all single-wall tanks (SWT), double-wall tanks (DWT), oil/water separators (OWS) and multicompartment tanks (MCT) as the installation proceeds. Retain a copy of the completed Tank Installation Checklist, and any correspondence, certification, etc., related to the tank. Each tank requires a separate Tank Installation Checklist. Consult your Xerxes representative or distributor if additional Tank Installation Checklist forms are needed. 1.2.5. The tank owner should retain a copy of the Tank Installation Checklist to facilitate any warranty claim. Xerxes recommends that the installing contractor also keep a copy. 1.2.6. Comply with all applicable regulations and standards, such as: • federal, state and local construction, health, safety and environmental codes; • National Fire Protection Association standards (for example, NFPA 30, 30A and 31); • industry standard practices (for example, PEI RP100, API RP1615); • EPA reference materials (for example, "Doing It Right"). 1.2.7. For additional information, contact your state, county and city storage -tank authorities, including health, fire or building departments, and environmental agencies. All work must be performed according to standard industry practices and OSHA regulations. 1.2.8. Federal, state and local codes and regulations always take precedence over a Xerxes requirement. 1.2.9. Xerxes must authorize — in writing and prior to tank installation — any variation to, or deviation from, these Installation Manual instructions. 1.2.10. All correspondence regarding variations must be retained for any warranty claim to be valid.
