TACTICAL WATER PURIFICATION SYSTEM (TWPS)
PREPARATION FOR USE AND INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
COLD WEATHER SET-UP OPERATION UNDER UNUSUAL CONDITIONS
WARNING
Three person lift. Three people are required to lift Diesel-Driven Distribution Pump
P-8. Lift with your legs, not your back. Failure to observe this warning may result
in back injury.
d. With the engine running at idle, move the pump into place onto the insulating platform.
e. Attach Adaptor A-01 to the suction inlet of the motor-driven pump. Position the bolt on
the adaptor's check valve in the vertical position. Wrap the strap around the pump frame
and buckle the strap. Secure firmly to support the adaptor and hose and prevent air from
entering the pump suction.
f. Connect the raw water suction hose to the adaptor.
g. Make sure that the suction hose heat blanket extends over the exposed surfaces of
Adaptor A-01.
4.
Connect the heating blanket power cables as follows:
a. Clean the connectors and connect the suction hose heat blanket cables to the pump
junction box (see Figure 17).
b. Be sure the unconnected Adaptor A-02 cable extends out over the top of the pump cover.
c. Connect the P-1 skid power cable to the pump junction box. (Feed the cable in under the
pump insulating cover at the front.)
5.
Attach the hook and loop strips on the pump insulating cover flaps and pull the bottom belt tight.
6.
Connect the raw water discharge hose to Adaptor A-02.
7.
Make sure that the discharge hose heating blanket extends over the exposed surfaces of the
A-02 cable.
8.
If the ice intake strainer is used, push the strainer and hose through the ice hole to a depth of 2 ft.
from the bottom in shallow water (less than 20 ft. deep) or to a depth of 20 ft. if the water is
deeper. This helps provide water that is above freezing.
WARNING
Potential electrical hazard to other personnel. Another person is establishing
electrical power at the TWPS. Let that other person know that you are ready to
make pump power connections to the PDP. Do NOT connect pump power cables
to the PDP until the person who is establishing electrical power tells you that the
TWPS is ready for the connections to be made. Failure to observe this warning
may result in injury or death due to electrocution.
Electrical hazard. The TWPS operates on 416 volts AC. FIRST connect the pump
skid power cable to the pump skid junction box. NEXT, make sure the Main
Breaker on the PDP is switched to OFF. LAST, connect the pump skid power
cables to the PDP (power distribution panel) power outlet. Failure to observe this
warning may result in serious injury or death from electrocution.
