Section 4: BATT Operation
Installation and Operations
Tank Positioning
Before the BATT’s first installation, make sure that the wet date is recorded on the BATT label and in the
BATT
Semi-Annual Inspection Log
which is included in the BATT operations manual (BATT service life
starts from the wet date or 12 months from the date of manufacture, whichever comes first).
1.
Before starting the installation, make
sure the cargo area is clean and any
sharp objects smoothed (if part of the
aircraft) or removed, if they are not
attached.
2.
SEI recommends that a chafing liner be
used in the aircraft. This liner can be a
canvas sheet or any other low-cost
liner material. This liner is used to pro-
tect the outer tank from any sharp
objects found on the deck of the air-
craft.
3.
Once the liner is installed, it should
look as shown. Make sure to keep the
attachment points exposed by folding
the liner back on the sides, front and
back.
Important Note
Follows the conditions of the Equivalency Certificate (SU 10638)
Low-cost chafing liner installed prior to BATT.
Warning
The BATT is designed for the transportation of dangerous goods and its design is for limited access
operations only. No passengers are allowed during bulk fuel transport operations.
