600-GPH ROWPU…
• The spare tire for the trailer goes in its
carrier under the rear of the trailer—not
tossed inside the ROWPU itself. Toss the
spare inside and you might break off the
equipment’s sight glass and breathers.
• There are only two storage boxes, but
they are labeled Storage Box 2 and Storage
Box 3. They hold chemicals, tools and
installation items. App B of TM 10-4610-
239-10 has the load plans for both boxes.
• The two storage boxes should be
fastened with a strap under the tanks. If the
boxes aren’t strapped down, they can shift
and damage the ROWPU during travel.
• The bottom layer of storage space is
where the two raw water pumps and back-
wash pump are stowed. Cover the pumps
with canvas and strap ‘em down.
• On the back of the ROWPU, next to the
generator, strap the distribution pump
down with the portable step.
• Store the raw water float in the center of
the ROWPU next to the two NBC cylinders.
• Stow the rolled-up discharge hoses on
the right side of the ROWPU. If they’re just
tossed in, the hoses will break breathers,
connectors and sight glasses.
follow the
load plan in TM
10-4610-239-10
and keep these
pointers in mind.
Operators, a little house-
keeping and following your
ROWPU’s load plan can mean the
difference between producing
potable water and producing
maintenance headaches.
when it’s time
to go home after
a good water
purification job,
complete the job
with a good
loadout!
“Just stacking parts and
equipment randomly in the
vehicle can cause
damage
and
big repair bills.”
a good
load makes
for a good
move!
