PREPARATION FOR USE AND INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
COLD WEATHER SET-UP OPERATION UNDER UNUSUAL CONDITIONS
CAUTION
Connector damage or poor electrical connection. Use the fine brush from the tool
box to clean dust and sand out of connectors, terminals and dust caps before
making or capping a connection. Install the dust cap provided with connectors
and terminals whenever a connector is disconnected from its terminal. Failure to
observe this caution may result in connector damage or a poor electrical
connection.
9. Clean the connectors then connect the P-1 pump skid power cable to the TWPS PDP as follows:
a. Set the diesel heater switch to OFF.
b. FIRST make sure the P-1 pump skid power cable is securely connected to the P-1 skid
junction box.
c. NEXT, switch the Main Breaker on the PDP to OFF.
d. LAST, connect the power cable to its power source connector terminal at the PDP.
e. After making sure that all connections have been completed, switch the Main Breaker on
the PDP back to the ON position.
10. Set the diesel heater switch back to the ON position and verify that the heater starts.
11. Set the Hose/Pump Heaters switch to ON.
12. Leave the engine running at idle and continue with the procedures for establishing raw water flow
PRE-OPERATIONAL CHECKS
Before starting the TWPS to begin producing potable water, perform the following checks:
1. Check all hose couplings and verify that the camlock connectors are locked in place.
2. Check that the ground rod has been installed and the ground connections are tight at both ends.
3. Check that all raw water, MF feed pump, and product water distribution pump power cables are
properly connected.
NOTE
For the most efficient use of time, it is recommended that you proceed to WP 0013
for pre-operational diagnostic self-tests and then the appropriate start-up
procedures WP before performing the Extended Distribution Set-Up procedures
below. You will be instructed to return to this procedure after performing the
electrical pre-operational procedures and the appropriate start-up procedures.
EXTENDED DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM SET-UP (A-TWPS)
NOTE
Warm Diesel-Driven Distribution Pump P-8 inside the TWPS before starting. It is
