Pre-start-up Inspection
• Site drainage:

Verify that there is a minimum of two feet of space
between AX pods. Check for a useable water source within hose
distance of the system.

the system diagram matches the installed system and note any
differences between the plans and the installed system.
• Landscaping:
Check for landscape features that may cause long-
term maintenance issues:
– Trees planted on top of tanks
– Trees that could shed snow onto critical components,
such as control panels
– Risers, external splice boxes, and pods covered in bark or other
landscaping materials
• Circuit breakers:
Open the control
panel and verify
that all of the circuit
breakers are off.
• System access:
Remove lid bolts and
open all lids.
• AX100:
Verify that
the lid bolt boxes

from the AX pods. If
not, remove them at this time. Verify that the lateral inlet valves in
the pods are open and the spray nozzle turbines are pointed up, as
shown below.
