2-9. General Operating Procedures. This paragraph provides general instructions for operation of the entire TWDS
under usual conditions.
CAUTION
If suction pressure falls below 20 psi (boost pump only) or if discharge pressure rises above 150
psi (1034 kPa) on any pump, damage may result to system.
NOTE
Hoseline packing - initial filling of hoseline with water.
a.
When packing hoseline, monitor suction and discharge pressures on pumps. If pressure is too low or too high,
IMMEDIATELY shut down pumps. Notify supervisors on hose-laying crews and operators at other pumping
stations who are packing hoseline. Cease operation until problem is corrected.
CAUTION
Trapped air can cause hoseline to collapse and pressure at downline pumping stations to fall
below 20 psi (68.9 kPa). To prevent damage to pump, take precautions to vent air from hoseline.
