8. Fold the tank baffle along the
perforations as shown. The folds
are made toward the side of the
baffle with the tie wrap ends.
9. Insert the folded baffle into the baffle slot on the outlet side of the tank bottom half. The slots on the baffle bottom edge will index to
vertical ribs within the baffle slot on the tank bottom half. This will result in the top folded portion of the baffle pointing towards the outlet
end of the tank. Do not unfold the baffle at this time.
10. Before joining the tank halves, fill a 22 oz. (0.6 L) spray bottle with 8 oz. (0.25 L) of liquid soap mixed with 14 oz. (0.4 L) of tap water (1/3
+ 2/3 mixture). Apply an even coat of soapy water to all surfaces of the exposed gasket along its entire length. Spray the gasket directly
from above so both sides of the gasket are lubricated equally. Apply soapy water to allow placement of the tank top half when surfaces
are still wet. This will facilitate engagement of the gasket in the groove on the tank top half during tank assembly in Step 12.

11. Using the Infiltrator Lifting Strap Assembly, attach the four lifting straps to the CM-1060 rope
handles, located two on either end of the tank top half. Slowly lift the tank top straight up and
off of its location.
12.The CM-1060 features molded-in alignment dowels. The
molded-in alignmment dowels and receiving holes alternate
between corrugations in the CM-1060 bottom and top
halves. Carefully lower the tank top half onto the tank bottom
half, aligning the top and bottom tank half alignment dowels
with the corresponding receiving holes. Once the top half
has been lowered onto the bottom half, position your eyes
at gasket height and evaluate the seam. Inspect the seam
around the entire perimeter of the tank. Visually inspect the
seam and verify that the gasket is securely seated within the
gasket groove of the tank top and bottom halves. Verify that
the Infiltrator Lifting Strap Assembly is not caught within the
seam before proceeding to Step 13.
13. Identify clip-attachment locations along the mid-seam where the straight
sidewall transitions to the curved end wall, as shown in image No. 13A. Two
clips are attached at each of four locations at the inlet and outlet ends of
the tank as shown. At each clip attachment location, push the top tank half
downward to engage the gasket in the top tank half. For all eight clips, place
the open side of a seam clip against the joined seam rail of the tank halves
at a 45-degree angle relative to the seam rail. These seam clips must be
attached along the seam rail from the outside in towards the tank centerline.
Using a hammer and holding the top and bottom sides of the seam clip, tap
the seam clip along the tank seam rail; the clip will pull toward the seam rail.
Engage the clip to a full stop over the locking tabs; the seam clip will click into
place when properly engaged. The seam clip is designed to lock in place with
two or three swift blows of a hammer. If substantial resistance is encountered
