PERIODIC MAINTENANCE SHOULD BE SCHEDULED AND PERFORMED ON YOUR SYSTEM EVERY THREE MONTHS AFTER

tank.
The Tank Isolation Valves should be closed in the following situations:

In the event of a fire, disaster, or other emergency situations.
Tank Isolation Valves
Your system will contain either a normal T-Ball Valve as the Tank Isolation Valve, or it may include a fusible link fire safe valve (“fire safe valve”). To isolate
the system with the normal T-Ball Valve, simply move the handle of the valve such that it finishes perpendicular (90°) to the valve body. The valves are
located on the underside of the tank.
See Figure 16 for a normal T-Ball Tank Isolation Valve that is in the open position.
CAUTION!
Personal Protective Equipment (“PPE”) should be worn when installing and operating this system.
WARNING!
ALWAYS ensure the main power supply is first locked out and the system depressurized before any service
is performed on this system. NEVER connect or disconnect lines, change filter elements, or undertake any
service work when this system is running or energized. SEVERE injury or death may occur.
The Tank Isolation Valves (located on the underside of each tank) must be in the open position when operat-
ing the system and in the closed position when servicing the system.
