1: SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

TO AVOID SERIOUS OR FATAL PERSONAL INJURY OR MAJOR PROPERTY DAMAGE, READ AND FOLLOW ALL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS IN MANUAL AND ON EQUIPMENT.

THIS MANUAL IS INTENDED TO ASSIST IN THE INSTALLATION AND OPERATION OF THIS UNIT AND MUST BE KEPT WITH THE UNIT.

This is a SAFETY ALERT SYMBOL. When you see this symbol on the pump, the controller or in the manual, look for one of the following signal words and be alert to the potential for personal injury or property damage.

Warns of hazards that WILL cause serious personal injury, death or major property damage.

Warns of hazards that CAN cause serious personal injury, death or major property damage.

Warns of hazards that CAN cause personal injury or property damage.

NOTICE: INDICATES SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS WHICH ARE VERY IMPORTANT AND MUST BE FOLLOWED.

THOROUGHLY REVIEW ALL INSTRUCTIONS AND WARNINGS PRIOR TO PERFORMING ANY WORK ON THIS CONTROLLER.

MAINTAIN ALL SAFETY DECALS.

In addition to proper system engineering and competent manufacturing, the use of basin installers who have both practical experience and integrity to assist that the basin be installed properly constitutes the greatest protection from catastrophic basin failure and liability exposure.

3: DISCLAIMER

Every reasonable effort has been put forth by CentriPro and its agents to ensure the accuracy and reliability on the information contained in this reference guide. However, neither CentriPro, its agents, nor its consultant make any representation, warranty, or guarantee in connection with the publication of these recommended methods and procedures. CentriPro hereby disclaims any liability for loss or damage resulting from their use; for the violation of any federal, state, county, or municipal regulations with which these recommended methods and procedures may conﬂict; or for the infringement of any patent resulting from the use of recommended methods and procedures.

4: MATERIAL HANDLING

GENERAL HANDLING

Although the exterior surfaces of our ﬁberglass reinforced plastic (FRP) sump and sewage basins are designed, to withstand normal handling, they can be damaged during transportation and installation. Basins must not be dropped, dragged, or handled with sharp objects and with the exception of the minimal movement involved in a visual inspection, should not be rolled.

2: PURPOSE

The purpose of this guide is to provide a brief reference to the recommended methods and procedures for installing CentriPro underground sump and sewage basins to ensure that damage or premature failure of the basin do not occur.

Studies conducted by both environmental regulatory agencies and trade organizations demonstrate that the most signiﬁcant source of leaks and failures in underground storage systems is improper handling and installation. Proper handling and installation requires practical experience combined with strict adherence to proven methods and procedures.

This guide is not intended to serve as a basic instructional manual. The installation of our sump and sewage basins is a specialized skill, and is assumed that the individuals who install our products and refer to this guide will have basic understanding of such procedures as excavating, backﬁlling, pipe ﬁtting, and electrical work. No amount of written instruction by a manufacture or a regulatory agency will convert an inexperienced, under-supervised laborer into a skilled, experienced mechanic. The ability to recognize and correctly respond to abnormal conditions during a basin installation requires ﬁeld experience as well as mechanical aptitude.

If the basin or its shell is damaged, installation should be suspended until CentriPro or its agent can make a determination of the extent of damage. Any repairs must be ﬁrst authorized in writing by CentriPro and than be done in accordance with CentriPro instructions.

UNLOADING, LIFTING AND LOWERING

The proper way of moving a basin is by lifting it, using chains or cables with the optional lifting lugs (not more than 30* included angle) or by using a non-marring sling around the basin. Before any attempt is made to move a basin, it should be established that all of the equipment and accessories have sufﬁcient capacity and reach to lift and lower the basins without dragging and/or dropping. Basins should be maneuvered with guide ropes attached to the sides.

Under NO, circumstances are the use of chains or cables around the basin shell

permitted.

STORAGE

Basins should be stored in a secure, controlled area where the potential for accidental damage or vandalism will be minimized. The storage area should be free from sharp objects, rocks and any other foreign solutions or materials that could cause damage to the basins. Chock
