h. INSTALLATION OF PRECHECK TUBING
WARNING
When working inside tank, always provide adequate forced air ventilation
l
at the manhole opening with air directed into compartment where work
is being performed. Forced air ventilation allows for removal of any ex-
plosive quantities and contaminants resulting from the type of work be-
ing done, and serves to prevent oxygen deficiency. Failure to follow this
warning may result in death to personnel.
NEVER work alone inside a tank: a second person must be stationed at
l
the manhole opening. The person inside the tank must have a safety line
and harness on in case of emergency for rescue operations. In the event
a rescue operation is required, summon assistance IMMEDIATELY. DO
NOT attempt a rescue until assistance has arrived.
CAUTION
Use caution when securing tubing under clips (5). Improper handling of
clips will cause them to break.
NOTE
All male threads of all fittings
l
should be coated with antiseize
tape if not already factory-coated
with an antiseize compound.
For information on manufacturing
l
tubing lengths, refer to Appen-
dix G.
