EQUIPMENT OFF-LOADING MARINE CORPS UNIT
EQUIPMENT OFF-LOAD
This section provides instructions for off-loading equipment. As items are off-loaded, place them in the
general locations where they will be used, as determined by the site selection and component location
procedures in WP 0004. Equipment can be off-loaded from the operator station and equipment area at
the same time if enough personnel are available.
NOTE
The figures in this work package show typical packout arrangements. Some items
may not always be packed out exactly as shown.
MC-TWPS Placement
Place the MC-TWPS unit on the ground as follows:
CAUTION
Do not lift the MC-TWPS from the back where the Micro-Filtration (MF) assembly is
located. Lift the MC-TWPS from the front. Failure to observe this caution may
result in significant damage to the MF assembly.
1. Using an appropriate lifting device, lift the MC-TWPS unit off the transportation unit (e.g. truck or
trailer) and set it on the ground in the desired location.
2. Remove the protractor (level) provided with the unit from its holder on the frame at the operator
end of the TWPS unit (see Figure 1).
3. Place the protractor (level) on any horizontal surface of the TWPS and check the following levels:
a. No more than 2 degrees cross-wise (front to back) (see Figure 1).
b. No more than 1 degrees length-wise (side to side) (see Figure 1).
4. If the levels exceed the recommended values, the site must be graded or the TWPS unit moved
to a site that meets the level requirements.
