Section I. DESCRIPTION AND USE OF OPERATOR'S CONTROLS AND INDICATORS
2-1. INTRODUCTION. The WTSC is designed for operation in a wide range of climatic conditions. Operators must be
aware of any peculiarities or operational limitations for their specific use of the WTSC. Before using the WTSC, be sure
that you have determined how each of the controlling devices on the WTSC operate. This section contains the descrip-
tion and use of each of these operator controls.
2-2. OPERATOR'S CONTROLS AND INDICATORS. For the WTSC controls and indicators, refer to the following de-
scriptions and to Figure 2-1
a.
Cargo Rings (1). The skid assembly is equipped with four cargo rings. These rings are used to secure
the assembled WTSC to the carrier being used to store or transport the WTSC.
b.
End Panel Turnlock Assemblies (2). Each of the end panel assemblies is equipped with four turnlock
assemblies. When the end panels have been placed into position against the installed side panel assemblies, these
turnlock assemblies are rotated to secure the end panel assemblies to the side panel assemblies. The end panels are
stenciled with the words "OPEN" and "CLOSED" to indicate the position the turnlock handle should be in to remove or
install the end panel assembly.
c.
Hoisting Straps (3). Four hoisting straps are supplied to provide a means of lifting the 50,000 water tank
from the inside of the WTSC. When not in use, these hoisting straps are stored between one end panel assembly and
the divider storage pan provided with the WTSC.
d.
Locking Pins (4). When the side panel assemblies are placed into position on the skid assembly, they
are held onto the skid by a series of locking pins which are fixed onto the skid assembly A locking pin located on the
bottom of the channel assemblies of the side panel assemblies is inserted into the locking pin area of the skid assembly.
The locking pin bolts on the skid assembly are then adjusted to insert the skid assembly locking pin bolts into the channel
assembly locking pins.
e.
Side Panel Channel Latches (5). To secure the top cover to the side panel assemblies, each of the
center channel assemblies of the side panels is equipped with a latch. When the top panel is m place, these latches are
set to engage the top cover frame to hold the top cover securely m place
f.
Skid Tie-Down Bars (6). One tie-down bar is located on each end of the skid assembly for use in secur-
ing the skid during transport of the WTSC.
g.
Tie-Down Straps (7). To secure the water storage tank into the WTSC compartment, four tiedown straps
are included with the WTSC. When in use, each end of these tie-down straps is engaged with a number of tie down pins
which are welded into the skid assembly.
