When free discharge (by gra-
vity, without giving compres-
sed air into the tank), one of
the manhole covers must be
opened before starting the
discharge.
1. Draw near the filling station. Stop the
vehicle.
2. Provide necessary safety on the sur-
roundings before starting the discharging
process.
3. Perform grounding process with the
help of grounding pins on the vehicle.
4. Connect the discharge hose of the
station to the discharge port of the ve-
hicle with the necessary equipment
(adapter etc.).
5. After making the necessary controls
(system pressure, material temperature,
etc.), open the filling manhole cover on
the tank (See section “
Components and
Use of Upperstructure
”).
6. Open the bottom valve (1) (See sec-
tion

8. Close the bottom valve after discharg-
ing. Close the manhole cover.
9. After the connections between the sta-
tion and the vehicle are removed, the ve-
hicle is ready for drive.
The material transported in
the tanker may be hot. During
the
filling and
discharging
processes, care must be taken
against the danger of burning.
•
Avoid direct contact with the
transported material.
•
Do not forget to wear suitable
protective equipment during fill-
ing and discharging operations.
If you open the manholes or
loading connections while the
tank is under pressure, these
equipment may explode. In
this
case,
you
and
those
around you can be seriously
or even fatally injured.
•
Before discharging, check if the
tank is under pressure.
•
Never attempt to open manholes
or loading connections while the
tank is under pressure.
•
Always make sure the tank is
depressurized.

Warnings
for
Filling
and
Discharging Operations
•
Park the vehicle to the station so
that discharge connections shall be
short as much as possible. Thus,
the possibility of tangling or bending
of the hoses is minimized.
•
Stop the engine and apply the park
brake when you stop the vehicle.
Place chocks to the wheels if
required.
•
Before and during filling operation,
follow the safety instructions of the
transporter.
•
Do not smoke !
•
To prevent the risk of explosion, turn
off any electrical appliances that are
not used. These include the radio,
