3. Fold the tank (3) almost in half lengthwise (4). Lay top fold of the tank down approximately 1 foot
shorter than the bottom fold. The ends will then be equal when the tank is rolled.
4. Roll the tank (5) manually. It is necessary that the first roll be circular and tight, otherwise the tank will
be hard to roll and make a large package.
CAUTION
Throughout the folding process, be sure to brush off any stones, grass, or other
debris that may accumulate on the tank or the ground cloth. Accumulation of
debris can cause damage to the tank.
5. The sling (6) may be slipped around and under the tank if the tank is to be transported to a new
location or placed back in its shipping container. The sling (6) is located in the semi-trailer stowage
compartment. Fold the trailer bed cloth (Models 91093 and 91094).
6. Remove and store the hold down kit ratchets (2) and the anchor bolt assembly (7) in the prepared
area. Pad the pressure gage (1) to avoid damage.
7. After the first few uses, the tank will become more flexible and easier to roll and unroll.
PREPARATION FOR MOVEMENT
WARNING
The tank must be transported only when completely full or completely
empty or injury to personnel could result.
1. When the tank is full, before movement, the tank should be lashed to the trailer with the sling provided.
2. When the tank is empty, before movement, the tank should be rolled up and lashed securely to the
trailer.
3. When the tank is not in use, unit assemblies and components should be disassembled, dried, cleaned
and preserved for future use.
