• 4.3.3.3 Pressure Relief Valve
Inspect the Relief Valve:
The pressure relief valve is a
safety device that will release air or water from the tank if it
is inadvertently pressurized over a relief setting. The relief
setting on most water tanks is set at the factory and cannot be
adjusted. Identify the pressure relief valve and ensure that it
has not been damaged or tampered with.
Replace Defective Relief Valve:
Any water tank with a
damaged or missing pressure relief valve must be removed
from service immediately. Do not pressurize the tank until a
functioning pressure relief valve has been installed.
4.3.4
Daily Operation
The water tank is designed to be used during stationary
operation at the yard or the landfill site only. It is not necessary
or beneficial for the tank to be pressurized while driving, and a
pressurized tank is an added hazard in the event of a crash or
a rollover.
4.3.5
Vehicle Handling Characteristics
Safe operation of any vehicle is the responsibility of the driver.
The water tank is a fluid load that can increase the rollover
tendency if the truck is driven with the water tank partially
full. To reduce the risk of rollover, only drive the truck with the
water tank either completely full or completely empty. Avoid
making sharp turns at excessive speeds and other abrupt
maneuvers.
In the event of a rollover or crash, an unbelted person is
significantly more likely to become injured or die than a person
wearing a seat belt. ALWAYS WEAR YOUR SEAT BELT.
