          4.0       Maintenance Procedures
          The Maintenance Programme will be kept on the premises at all times, with a ledger recoding all
          maintenance and inspection activities. This will provide a useful and efficient record for Inspection officers
          to facilitate random verification. Maintenance is performed at a minimum of every six months or if the probe
          alarm is activated, by eduction method (suction). The Inspection and Maintenance guideline in Appendix 5
          better elaborates the procedures.




          4.1       Coalescer Unit
           Use the lifting handle or the chain and lift the Coalescer unit out of the tank and place it near the
           Puraceptor™, in a retained area so pollutants do not escape.


          4.2       Coalescer Foam
          Remove the coalescer foam insert, and wash with normal water pressure ensuring the dirty water runs into
          the SPEL Puraceptor™.


          4.3       Sucking Out Fuel & Silt
          Suck off the retained oil from both chambers of the SPEL Puraceptor™ and then the silt deposited on the
          bottom, leaving sufficient water to ensure the (auto closure device) ACD remains floating.


          4.4       Sucking Out Complete Contents (If Necessary)
           If the quantity of pollutants exceeds recommended level, the complete contents of the Puraceptor™ may
           need to be removed. After sucking out completely, remove the ACD. Using a pole with a hook, lift out the
           ACD using the lifting eye on the float.


          4.5       Re-insert Coalescer Unit and ACD
           Re-insert the foam coalescer insert into the stainless steel Coalescer unit and re-insert the Coalescer
           unit into the Puraceptor™ as provided with the SPEL lifting/location/locking system. Partially fill the
           Puraceptor with clean water (if necessary) to ensure the ACD when re-inserted remains floating and then
           re-insert the ACD. Finally check the ACD is floating and the retaining cap has been replaced to
           safeguard against its removal by unauthorized persons, unless depth of tank precludes doing so from
