LOADING
If the tank is equipped for bottom loading, open the top vents, emergency valves, and product valves to compartments being loaded before beginning the loading process. This will prevent excessive spraying of product in the tank or piping. Close compartments. If loading different types of products which require isolation, any emission collection header provided must be disconnected from the compartment which requires isolation. Manifold-product-valves must be closed to prevent mixtures of products which could cause a dangerous reaction. (see TTMA TB Nos. 58,60,92,105) The vehicle's piping system, including components between the bottom loading adapter and any shutoff valve, is designed for 75 psi. Any component not rated for 75 psi must be isolated from the bottom loading system to avoid damage, rupture, or loss of product. (see TTMA RP No. 102) When bottom loading, make sure that the compartments that are being loaded are clean and empty to avoid potentially violent reactions and product contaminations. (see TTMA RP No. 102) The emergency valves and product valves must be closed at all times except when loading or unloading product. Before opening the emergency valves, be sure hoses are properly connected at both ends. Make certain emergency valves are closed and the hoses are drained before disconnecting the hoses. Close the doors of all cabinets before leaving the discharge area. In case of emergency, the emergency valves may be closed by operation of the remote control located at the front of the tank.
