ASSEMBLY AND PREPARATION FOR USE .
a.
Site Selection.
NOTE
This manual covers installation of all connection kits, but you may not need all these components
to perform your mission. You may adjust the number of components used and their position in
the system to meet your operating requirements. The hypochlorinator may be installed on either
the input or discharge side of the system.
(1)
Select a level, debris-free installation area. Site requirements must consider location of water source
and distribution points. Site must be large enough to contain all system components.
(2)
Position triple container and water tank storage chest near installation site.
b.
Unpacking.
(1)
Open triple container. Refer to the applicable TM.
(2)
Unpack contents of container. To aid assembly, separate components into groups of similar parts
during removal. For example, group all the 4-inch discharge hoses together, then all the 2-inch gate
valves, 2-inch discharge hoses and so on until all components are unpacked.
(3)
Unpack hypochlorination unit. Refer to the applicable TM.
(4)
Unpack 125 GPM pump. Refer to the applicable TM.
c.
Quick Disconnect Couplings. (Refer to Figure 2-4).

disconnect couplings to permit rapid assembly and disassembly of components. The following
instructions apply to all operator installation and removal tasks.
WARNING
To prevent injury to personnel and damage to the equipment, use care when connecting coupling
to avoid getting dirt, sand, and debris on coupling mating surfaces or in hoses. To prevent leaks
and ensure tight connections, make sure gaskets are installed in all female quick disconnect
couplings.
