LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT OF IPA My name is Peter Vinci and I am the president of IPA®. I would like to first thank you for your interest in IPA®’s product line and share my commitment to you, our products and our policies. In today’s world, we have all experienced the lack of service and consideration demonstrated by many companies after you buy their products. They say whatever they can to make the sale, and then it’s like pulling teeth to get any service response out of them.

STEP 1 SET UP INSTRUCTIONS: It is recommended that you visit the site 48 hours before tank sweeping to prepare the tank and assess the site condition. Using the optional IPA9041 sampling tool, insert the sampler all the way down to the bottom of the tank to be cleaned. Draw the piston shaft up enough to get a good sample of the fuel (aprox.12”). Remove the sampler and note the amount of water and crude at the bottom of the tank.

TANK SWEEPING: 1. Once all safety precautions have been complied with and you are certain of good and proper connections with the outlet hose firmly in the holding drum turn the AIR INLET ball valve to the ON position. This begins to actuate the pump assembly and suction through the Fiber Staff adapter. IN THE EVENT OF AN EMERGENCY FIRST CLOSE AIR BALL VALVE TO STOP THE PUMP. 2.

NOTE: When ready to sweep the tank, be sure to check all connections for leaks and be prepared to shut down the sweeper in the event of a leak. Have your Emergency Spill Kit available and in reach. It is best to have this operation performed by two people--one operating the air supply and the other person doing the actual sweeping of the tank. 4.

5. To maintain the clear appearance of the hose after use, it is good practice to gravity drain all fluid from the hose. Then using warm soapy water, flush until clean and air drain and dry afterwards. NOTE: Depending upon what contaminates are present when using the hose and how well it is cleaned afterwards determines how long the hose remains clear. The hose is warranted to be free from manufacturer’s defects for one year.

A snug torque of the foot valve halves is all that is needed. Cleaning of the Sample Stick after use is necessary to maintain its clear appearance. When ready, allow the Sample Stick to gravity drain the oil. Once the stick has been drained, a solution of warm soapy water should be used to flush the stick a few times until clean. NOTE: The tube of the sample stick is made of a clear acrylic material.
