Venting
Each unit has 2 common vents installed; these are in the Cab Area of the
tank.
IMPORTANT: Do not operate the unit if these vents are damaged
or missing
•2” Pressure Vacuum Vent – Allows movement of air into the unit at
low pressure during the pumping process and allows air out of the unit
at a higher pressure to stop an over pressure of the internal tank
•¼” Roll over Vent – Allows free flow air into and out of the tank at all
times, this low volume vent will fully close if the tank is inverted or
turned on its side
•For static installation follow local regional, state and national Fire
Safety Codes and other governing Installation Codes for the Normal
and Emergency Venting equipment and appurtenances.

LIFTING & HANDLING
IMPORTANT: Always prepare a Lifting Plan/Risk Assessment.
By Forklift / Tele-handler
•Each TCGCAB(G) is fitted with forklift pockets which are designed to
allow the TCGCAB(G) to be raised by a forklift/tele-handler. The
TCGCAB(G) can be lifted from all 4 sides. This must be considered in
your risk assessment
•It is important that the total gross weight of the TCGCAB(G) is not
more than half (50%) of the forklift’s maximum SWL. Ensure that the
forklift’s forks are set to the correct width for the TCGCAB(G)’s fork
pockets
By Crane
•Lifting of tanks should only be undertaken by a competently trained
person
•You will require a lifting device (crane) and suitable four-leg chain
slings fitted with hooks and safety catches
•Always check and obtain official confirmation from the chain sling
supplier that it is both suitable in SWL and chain length
•With the chain slings correctly attached to the lifting equipment,
attach each hook to the lifting points. Once attached, ensure the
catches fitted to all hooks are closed
•Attach tag lines to the base of the unit to control rotation
•Lift the chains until taut and check that the hooks are correctly
positioned with catch closed and that the chains are not twisted. If a
fault is found, lower the chain and reattach correctly
•Lift the unit until just off the ground and check that it is balanced and
stable. Once you are satisfied that everything is correctly and safely
set up, you can continue with the lift.
The TCGCAB(G) must ONLY be lifted via the dedicated crane lifting
point(s) found in each corner. See Lifting Points
•ALL lifting point(s) must be used during a lift
•The lifting points MUST be inspected for condition and safe use
•DO NOT lift from the base, with polyester slings
