Infiltrator CM-1060 Tank Assembly Instructions

4. Remove the Infiltrator Lifting Strap Assembly from the tank half. Position yourself and your assembly partner on one side of the tank.
Using two of the four lifting handles, one on either end of the tank half, lift and tilt the inverted bottom tank half. Together, gently roll the
tank bottom half onto its flat base so that the flange groove and mid-seam gasket are facing upwards. Place the rotated tank bottom on
a clean, dry, level surface so that it is stable.
6. Identify the appropriate perforated baffle port opening(s)
corresponding to the desired baffle configuration below.
Carefully remove the perforated openings by knocking the
port center with a hammer or mallet. Baffle configuration 25
shall be used in all states and provinces, with the following
limited exceptions:
• 15 – Kentucky
• 15E (requires elbow attachment in baffle port) –
Alaska, Arizona, New Mexico
• 15T (requires tee attachment in baffle port) –
Delaware, Pennsylvania
• 35 – Minnesota, Indiana
Note: If you are assembling a 15E baffle, use the Infiltrator
IM-1060 15E Baffle Assembly Instructions document. If you
are assembling a 15T baffle, use the Infiltrator IM-1060 15T
Baffle Assembly Instructions document. For all other baffle
configurations, continue to Step 7.
7. Prepare the baffle tie wrap ends by slitting the tape that secures them
to the baffle for shipping. The slit should be made just above or below
the tie wrap ends and parallel to the length of the tie wrap ends. This
will facilitate fastening of the baffle to the vertical support post in Step
18.

5. Visually inspect the gasket to ensure that it is undamaged, seated properly in the groove and free of
materials that may compromise the watertightness of the connection. The gasket inspection shall include
an examination while viewing the tank from both the top and side perspectives. When viewing from the
top, visually examine the gasket for damage, an undulating appearance (where the gasket is not fully
inserted into the groove and its height varies), dirt and debris, and any other signs of defect or damage.
When viewing from the side, position your eyes at gasket height to evaluate the height of the top of the
gasket around the entire mid-seam perimeter. Looking horizontally across the tank at mid-seam level
(from top of gasket to top of gasket across the tank axes), inspect the gasket along the long and short
axes of the tank. Verify that the gasket does not undulate, where the top elevation of the gasket varies.
Correct deficiencies if identified. If the gasket is not properly seated in the groove, manually press it into
place. Use a coarse-bristled paint brush and clean rags to thoroughly remove any dirt or debris present
on the gasket.
