PREPARATION FOR USE AND INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
SET-UP OPERATION UNDER USUAL CONDITIONS
PLANNING AND ORGANIZATION
Table 1 is a recommended team approach for establishing the various water and electrical connections
and performing the initial checks and inspections to get the TWPS ready for operation. The procedures
are in the general order of activity. While setting up the ground-operated equipment, keep in mind the
overall work site dimensions as described in the Site Selection and Component Location WP 0004.

LOCATE FIRE EXTINGUISHER
Remove the fire extinguisher from the mounting bracket located below the MF Feed Strainer S-2. Set the
fire extinguisher on the ground in the general location where the ground rod will be placed.
ESTABLISH ELECTRICAL POWER
For the most efficient use of time, one person can be establishing power to the TWPS while the other two
people are setting up the equipment. To ensure each other's safety, all three people should coordinate
their activities so that no one is put in danger when electrical connections and operations are made.
Refer to WP 0012, Establishing Electrical Power, for the specific procedures for establishing electrical
power to the TWPS.
