4-70. JET LEVEL SENSOR REPLACEMENT (Con't).
d. INSTALLATION OF JET LEVEL SENSOR TUBING AND FITTINGS
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.
All male threads of fittings should be coated with antiseize tape if not
l
already factory-coated with an antiseize compound.
