Instructions for use

For water transport

Use only a vehicle able to carry at least 850 kg (e.g. Toyota Land Cruiser).

DRIVE SLOWLY!

Caution, the tank is not compartmentalized: water movements within the tank can destabilize the car.

Always firmly secure the tank to the pick-up using the harness.

Remove any sharp object (nails, splinters...) from the platform, and place the tank on its groundsheet.

Caution

Clean and let the tank dry completely inside and outside before storing it back. Talcum powder can help to absorb the last of the humidity.
