Preparing for operation
Before operation make certain that the water tank is in perfect
condition. Carry out a visual inspection for any damage on the
tank and fittings. Only water tanks in perfect condition are to be
used, if necessary the water tank must firstly be repaired.
Before using, the water tank must be checked to ensure its resis-
tance against the liquid/substance to be collected.
Before filling, the water tanks should be laid out flat and be pre-
ferably free of any folds in order to achieve optimum stability and
complete capacity. In addition to this, it is recommended that an
awning/protective cover be placed underneath the water tank in
order to protect it from damage and dirt. Sharp and pointed ob-
jects are to be removed from the operational area.

Operating instructions
4.1
Operation of the water tank
Lay out the water tank at the corresponding position. No acces-
sories are needed for setting up the water tank. Do not step on
the water tank with shoes. For storing dangerous liquids place a
collection tub underneath the water tank being used for safety
reasons.
Simply place the open water tank underneath the liquid to be
collected or hold a hose to feed the liquid to be collected into the
tank or let the liquid flow into the tank through the Storz connec-
tor or pump it. Make certain that the fittings used for filling (hose,
tube etc.) are ensured against slippage.
Fill the closed water tanks using the Storz connector or the ope-
ning on the upper side. In order to achieve easy handling, we re-
commend filling via the Storz connector.
Remember to keep the ball valve closed
when filling the water tank via the upper
opening in order to avoid the collected
liquid flowing out.
The water tank erects automatically by the inflowing water. In
doing this, it does not matter whether the tank is filled via the Storz
connector or via the upper opening. Always be aware of leaks and
monitor the filling procedure in order to avoid over-filling. Termi-
nate filling when the permitted nominal volume is reached. Never
exceed the specified filling level.
