Using This Manual
The FuelsManager Defense Administrator manual explains not only the
configuration and maintenance of the FuelsManager System, but also explains
how to use the FuelsManager applications: Draw, Report, Configuration, and
Operate.
Before reading this guide, you should become familiar with the operation of
Microsoft Windows. This manual has been supplied for system administrators,
managers, engineers, and other top-level management. The operator and other

Defense User manual is available for operators.
This manual includes step-by-step instructions for both the Standard and
Professional editions of FuelsManager.
It is assumed that the FuelsManager System has already been installed and
commissioned. If there is any doubt of the state of the system, contact an
Administrator or Supervisor before continuing.
