WARNING
Two person lift. Two people are required to lift the MF feed tank. Lift with your
legs, not your back. Failure to observe this warning may result in back injury.
Three person lift. Three people are required to lift the MF feed pump. Lift with
your legs, not your back. Failure to observe this warning may result in back injury.
1. Position the MF feed tank and MF feed pump as follows:
a. Place the MF feed tank in it's rough location (about 20 ft. from the TWPS).
b. Unfold the ground cloth from around the tank and unfold the tank on the ground cloth.
c. Spread the tank out to its final shape and eliminate any ridges in the bottom.
d. Insert the MF feed tank bag strainer S-1 inside the MF feed tank. Overlap the top of the
strainer over the open lip of the feed tank.
e. Obtain the draw rope from BII and thread through the sleeves of the top of the strainer.
Tighten the draw rope sufficiently to take up the slack and place it under a little tension.
f. Pull the tank inlet and outlet connections out away from the tank bottom so that they will
be clear when the tank is filled.
g. Set up the tripod at the side of the tank where the 2x10 raw water hose will be inserted.
h. Move motor driven MF Feed Pump Skid P-3 roughly in place as shown in Figure 14.
i. Place the pump skid on solid footing and as nearly level as possible.
