The following procedures and instructions are required to be followed for proper installation of Jacketed <br />Steel Tanks. Although the Tank Jacket is made of a tough and puncture resistant material, care must be <br />taken to make sure it is not damaged during installation. <br />Failure to comply with these instructions shall void warranty. National, state, and local construction <br />codes shall be consulted as well as NFPA 30 & 31. <br />The attached Installation Checklist shall be completed in full by the installation supervisor as the tank in- <br />stallation progresses. As each condition is satisfactorily met it should be initialed by the installation super- <br />visor. After the Installation Checklist has been completed and signed -off it shall be detached and mailed. <br />Failure to ristum the Installation Checklist shall prevent issuance of the signed Jacketed Steel Tank <br />Warranty. <br />O Handling <br />.Use the lifting lug(s) on the tank when hoisting <br />the tank. The tank should be carefully lifted and <br />lowered by use of cables or chains. Do not use <br />cables or chains around the tank. Use guide <br />ropes to position the tank, if necessary. <br />Equipment to lift the tank shall be of adequate <br />size to lift and lower the tank without dragging or <br />dropping to ensure no damage to the Tank <br />Jacket or steel inner tank. (See Tank Weight <br />Table) <br />O Site Storage <br />Tanks should be stored on a flat surface area <br />free of rocks and debris. The tank should be <br />chocked to prevent rolling during high winds. Do <br />not roll or drag tank at any time, use hoisting <br />equipment. <br />For site storage longer than six months the tank <br />should be covered by a tarp or 6 mil black <br />polyethelene. <br />Pre-Installafaon Testing <br />All Jacketed Steel Tanks are air -pressure and <br />soap tested prior to shipment from the factory. It <br />is also required that a air -pressure soap test, not <br />more than 9 psi, be performed on the job site by <br />the installation contractor. <br />Note: For tanks shipped to the job site with a <br />vacuum on the Tank Jacket it is not necessary to <br />perform the air -pressure soap test, unless the <br />vacuum indicator shows that the vacuum was not <br />held. <br />
