SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE INSPECTIONS
This section establishes scheduled maintenance inspections of the installed Suction Loading Station at the
designated frequencies. Performing these inspections will identify potential system discrepancies and allow
preventative maintenance to be performed before a component or system is rendered totally inoperative.
Systems operated in extremely low quality water environments may require more frequent inspections.
