1. INTRODUCTION
Th e Tay l e x A BS 4200 S ec o n d a r y T r ea t men t S y s t em i s d es i g n ed t o b e i n s t all ed b ot h i n -
ground and aboveground, collecting all wastewater from a domestic residence or
suitable commercial properties. This manual hasbeen put together to explain the
installation process of the ABS4200 system as a guide only. Some sites may differ in
access and slope, which need to be taken into account when delivering and installing the
system.
2. SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Follow all safety instruction provided by the onsite builder and ensure you
have all the relevant licences to perform this work.
Ensure the correct measurements are in place to prevent the
general public from entering the site during the installation of the
ABS4200. Excavated holes should be fenced if the ABS4200 is not
immediately installed.
SLIPPERY WHEN WET!
During cleaning, maintenance & repair work, the surrounding area may
become extremely slippery due to spilt water. Caution is to be taken
when walking/standing near the ABS4200 when these activities are
being conducted.
Use safe lifting techniques when installing/relocating the ABS4200.
Ensure that all lifting equipment is in a safe working order and the area is
clear of obstructions. Ensure all lifting equipment used has a suitable
capacity and current testing/compliance.
The waste water contained in the ABS4200 may contain harmful
bacteria. Persons coming in contact with wastewater must immediately
wash and disinfect allexposed areas. Contact your personal physician
for allhealth concerns.
WARNING - To reduce the risk of electrical shock, all works requiring
access to the blower boxMUST be carried out by a licenced electrician or
Taylex Accredited Service Agent (TASA) prior to final commissioning.

3. STANDARDS &LICENCING
 All Installations must be completed in accordance with AS/ANZ 3500.1 and AS/ANZ
3500.2
 I rr ig a tio n A r e a s / L a n d A pp lic a tio n A r e a s ( L AA ) m u s t b e in s ta lle d a s p e r A S 1 5 4 7 a n d all
relevant State/Local Codes or Guidelines
 Ensure the appointed Licensed trades only complete this work –
Plumbers/Drainers/Electrical.
4. PRE SITE INSPECTION
A pre site inspection should be conducted the day prior to installation. During this
inspection the following details should be checked.
 Access requirements for excavation, Crane Truck, Truck or Crane.
A Crane Truck requires the following:
Access to site – 12m long x 4m wide x 4.5m
high Level Pad at the hole – 12m long x 7m
wide
 Overhead obstructions
 Slope of site
 Soil moisture (for heavy equipment access)
 Weather conditions
5. MARK OUT
To ensure the ABS4200 is installed in the position nominated by the Home Owner/
Builder, the location of the ABS4200 should be marked out prior to excavation. The
installer at this stage should have a copy of the approved site plans showing the location
of the ABS4200 as well as the required local authority approval. If not, it is advised to
delay the installation until the plans have been received.
 Mark out a 3000mm x 6000m with line marking paint
 Place pegs on each of the corners as well as in the middle of the rectangle and
spray it with white paint or a colour that it noticeable from a distance
 Indicate on the centre peg or by spraying on the ground, the type of system that is
to be installed as a reference for the installer.
 Allow a minimum of 300mm between Tank and the edge of excavation.
 There should be a minimum gap of 550mm between the tanks.

6. DELIVERY AND PLACEMENT
In most areas, tanks will be delivered by a truck equipped with a crane located
at the rear of the vehicle. Such vehicles will back up to the hole, lift and slew the
tank into position behind the vehicle before placing it into the prepared hole.
Maximum reach from the rear of the truck to the centre of ABS4200 will vary
depending on the size of the crane.
To enable the ABS4200 to be unloaded, a minimum width of 7m (may vary
depending on crane truck) will be required at the hole. This distance allows for
the width of the crane truck, the width of the tank itself, and clearance for safe
and free maneuvering of the ABS4200 into the excavated hole.

PLEASE NOTE
 Tanks should not be lifted over houses, sheds or other property of value,
nor should they be lifted under low power lines
 Tank sites that are cut out of sloping hills will require enough flat area for
the truck to be unloaded
 Unloading on awkward and dangerous sites will be at the driver's
discretion. Safe and clear access is the responsibility of the
propertyowner/builder.
7. INSTALLATION
Alwaysensure the installation location including the future landscaping provision
allows for the diversion of storm-water and surface waters away from the system.

 Except for person/s responsible for lifting and positioning of the tank in the
excavated hole, there must not be any person within 20m of the installation site
during the lifting and positioning of the tank. Excavation Instructions show
excavated walls to be perpendicular. However, depending on the soil conditions,
the excavator may need to batter or retain the side walls to ensure they don’t
cave in during installation.
 Level the base of the hole using an excavation bucket with a laser level attached.
 Ensure that the excavated ground or base material is capable of
carrying loads of approximately 8 tonne.
 The ABS4200 must be level in both inflow/outflow direction and 90° to the
inflow/outflow direction (<1° deviation).
 Backfilling - Use sand or excavated material/spoil with maximum particle size of
300mm. Backfilling of excavation to be completed in not more than 500mm
equally distributed layers around the tank perimeter. Ensure that sand or
excavated material does not fall on the lid ofthe ABS5000 asthis will fall into
the system through the manholes and clog the system and irrigation pump.
Ensure that the backfill material is kept at least 100mm below the surface of the
systems lid.
 Evenly fill each system with approximately 5,000L of water through the
centre Chambers to prevent movement through the ground as the
waterpressure enters the system.
 Organise drainage contractors to connect the main sewer line to the system
and between Tank 1 & 2. The drainage connection is a standard 100mm PVC
sewer inlet.
Refer to Excavation & Lifting Instructions on Pages 10 and 11
