Although Xerxes corrosion -resistant tanks are rugged, care must be taken so they are not dropped or damaged during delivery, unloading and handling on the job site. 1 The tank is heavy and has a large surface area. The tank will roll on sloped surfaces and could be blown about by the wind. Movement of the tank could cause death, serious personal injury or property damage. 2.1.2. Before the tank is unloaded or relocated on the job site (and before preinstallation testing at job site), complete the following steps: 2.1.2.1. Visually inspect the entire exterior surface of the tank to make sure that no shipping or handling damage has occurred. Look particularly for holes, cracks or deep scrapes. 2.1.2.2. Sign the shipping papers accepting the tank as delivered. 2 1-1 2.1.2.3. Be sure that all equipment used to lift the tank is rated to handle the load. Refer to the Xerxes Tank Installation Checklist, Tank Handling Data section for tank shipping weight. 2.1.2.4. Prepare the unloading and/or storage site by removing all rocks and debris. 2.1.2.5. Arrange for sandbags or tires to be used as chocks. (See FIGURE 2-1.) 2.1.3. When hoisting the tank, take the following precautions: 2.1.3.1. Use the lifting lug(s). 2.1.3.2. Do not wrap chain or cable around the tank. 2.1.3.3. Use guy ropes to guide the tank when needed. 2.1.3.4. Do not roll the tank to move it. 2.1.4. A tank larger than 12,000 gallons has multiple lifting lugs. Use all the lugs to move the tank. (See FIGURE2-2.) I-IUUKt L -L 2.1.5. Whenever a tank is stored at the site, chock it in place to prevent rolling. (See FIGURE24)Tie the tank down if high winds are expected.
