Westeel WaterTank Flat Roof, Installation And Storage Instructions

Page: 7 / 23

Storage Guidelines
1.
Keep all bundles dry before assembly of the
tank. Start assembly as soon as possible. Do not
lay bundles on the bare ground, raise all bundles
6” – 8” off the ground on wood blocks or timbers.
Store curved wall panels ‘hump-up’. All other
bundles material should be placed so that they are
well sloped to promote good drainage.
2. Temporary storage can be provided by erecting
a simple framework supporting a waterproof tarp.
3. All hardware boxes should be stored inside. These
are not waterproof, and will deteriorate in normal
weather conditions, allowing moisture to contact
the parts inside.
If Parts Become Wet
1.
If goods become submerged or wet, the
bundles should be opened as soon as possible,
panels or material separated and dried. Keep
separated until assembly. Brace goods
properly so as to avoid damage or injury from
material falling when in storage.
2. Any boxed goods that become wet should be dried
and stored in a new box that is free of moisture.
3. In addition to wiping down panels, food-grade oil can also be applied with a clean,
lint-free cloth. This will assist in preventing any further moisture from contacting
the galvanizing on the steel.
IMPORTANT NOTES
1. In order to maintain your wall panels in good condition separate panels and allow air
circulation between them. Store panels in a dry place. Do not store panels with panel
ends pointing upwards.
2. Contact local power officials for minimum power line clearance.
3. See "Disclaimers - Design" for materials which can be stored.
4. Tighten all bolts to the recommended torque setting (see Recommended Bolt
Torques in the installation layout document).
