14. BUCKET MAINTENANCE
14.8 Bucket Patching with Repair Clamps
Repair clamps are used for an immediate repair to
prevent loss of liquid through large rips or holes.
Repair clamps are used only for temporary repairs. The
damage should be permanently repaired with a patch
when convenient.
Procedure to install repair clamps:
1. Select the largest clamp that will just slip through the
hole in the tank.
2. Keeping hold of the string, slip one half of the repair
clamp through the hole as indicated above.
3. Pull the bolt up through the hole. Turn it until the clamp
lines up with the hole.
