OPERATOR INSTRUCTIONS
STANDBY OR SHORT-TERM SHUTDOWN OPERATION UNDER
USUAL CONDITIONS
11. Drain the hoses as follows:
a. Open up all of the hose heating blankets. Do not disconnect the electrical
connectors.
b. Without delay, walk the raw water and distribution hoses to complete the draining (lift the
hose at one end and walk along the length of the hose, raising the hose as you go along
to cause all the water to drain out of the hose). Roll the hose up if the unit is to be
packed. Continue until all hoses have been drained and, if required, rolled up.
c. If not packing up, and if the hoses have not been rolled up, close the blankets over the
hoses.
d. Remove all adapters and place inside the TWPS.
12. Secure electrical power as follows:
a. Wait until the TWPS skid drains have stopped flowing.
b. Switch the diesel fueled heater switch to OFF.
c. Turn the Hose/Pump Heat Switch OFF.
d. Stop the air compressor by turning the Air Compressor switch to OFF.
e. Switch the Main Breaker to the OFF position.
f. A-TWPS only. Shut down the TQG (tactical quiet generator) as described in TM 5-6115-
545-12.
RAW WATER DIESEL ENGINE SHUTDOWN
Shut down the Raw Water pump as follows:
1. Before stopping the engine, move the engine speed lever to the idle mark and run the engine for
about 3 minutes.
2. Move the engine speed lever to the STOP position. The engine should turn off. (If it does not,
the engine will stop when the next step is performed).
3. (Except for a standby shutdown) turn the fuel cock lever counter clockwise to the closed position.
4. (Except for a standby shutdown) slowly pull out the recoil handle until pressure is felt and leave
the handle in this position. This step sets the engine so that the intake and exhaust valves are
closed and helps prevent rust from forming while the engine is not in use.
