Using the Inltrator Lifting Strap Assembly, attach the four lifting strap hooks to
the CM-1060 rope handles, located two on either end of the tank bottom half.
Slowly lift the inverted tank bottom straight up and o of the tank top nested below.
WARNING: TThe Inltrator Lifting Strap Assembly supplied with the starter kit
is sized to pick up a maximum of four Inltrator tank halves at one time. Never lift
