When not in use, store water hoses and tanks in a heated area to avoid freezing.
Remove snow, sleet or ice from quick disconnect couplings before making connections.
Remove snow, sleet or ice from water tanks. Be careful to prevent cracking tanks if frozen.
Wear arctic mittens when handling hardware. Change mittens if they get wet.
Avoid unnecessary folding, unfolding or rolling of tank in freezing temperatures. Cracks can develop
in tank fabric.
When possible, set up and operate water tank from a heated shelter.
Refer to TM 5-4320-226-14 for operating the 350 GPM pump under arctic conditions.
Refer to TM 5-4320-304-14 or TM 10-4320-309-14 for operating the 125 GPM pump under arctic
conditions.
Refer to TM5-4610-233-13&P for operating the hypochlorination unit under arctic conditions.
Refer to TM5-5430-226-12 For operating the water tanks under arctic conditions.
2.16 OPERATION IN EXTREME HEAT.
Observe the following precautions when operating the 40K water distribution system in extreme heat:
a. Protect water tanks and hoses from extreme heat by covering with tarp. Set up tank in shaded area
or construct a sun block.
b. Ventilate area around water tanks. Make sure air flow can circulate freely around tanks.
c. Avoid unnecessary folding, unfolding or rolling of empty water tanks and hoses. Do not store unused
tank in direct sunlight.
d. Refer to TM 5-4320-226-14 for operating the 350 GPM pump in extreme heat.
e. Refer to TM 5-4320-304-14 or TM 10-4320-309-14 for operating the 125 GPM pump in extreme heat.
f. Refer to TM 5-4610-233-13&P for operating the hypochlorination unit in extreme heat.
g. Refer to TM5-5430-226-12 for operating the water tanks under in extreme heat.
2.17 OPERATION IN DUSTY OR SANDY AREAS.
Observe the following precautions when operating the water tank in dusty or sandy areas:
a. Keep dust caps in place on fittings and couplings until ready for use.
b. Carefully inspect coupling gaskets before connecting fittings. Remove all dirt, sand and debris before
making connections.
