A.S.B.E.E-01 - Alternative Sandbag Emergency Equipment

SET-UP INSTRUCTIONS

BEFORE YOU BEGIN:

Your A.S.B.E.E.-01 WATERBAG is designed and tested to replace sandbagging under most conditions. It offers its users easily deployable protection against most water, slurry and small debris run-off due to flooding and severe weather. Due to the variety of applications possible for the WATERBAG, procedures will vary from application to application. For optimum performance of your new WATERBAG, please read all operating and safety instructions. Common sense and knowledge of the property being protected will ensure correct use of this product.

1. Unpack your "WATERBAG".

2. Unroll the "WATERBAG in an area where protection is desired.

(Note: If using both upper and lower bladders together, see section 2a before proceeding)

2a. Peel & press joining strip (1) lengthwise in the center of the lower bladder between the two Velcro bands, making sure the joining strip is straight. (Strip available in accessories kit)

2b. Align & center upper bladder on lower bladder.

2c Join retaining clips together. (2)

(Note: Make sure there are no twists in the retaining straps)

3. Tie or stake down the WATERBAG securely to the ground or a stationary object such as a house, wall, tree, fence post, large shrub, sprinkler head, etc.

4. When staking to the ground using the lower bladder grommets, Stake away from bladder with at least three (3) feet of loose cord. Six (6) of cord should be used when staking using upper bladder grommets. Remember to leave slack in the cord to allow for the rise of the WATERBAG as it fills, you should retighten the cord after the WATERBAG is at desired height. (Cord & stakes are available in the accessories kit.)

5. Using a standard garden hose, insert the threaded end of the hose carefully into clear inlet valve (a)

Do not push hose end past the back flow valve.

6. Fill the WATERBAG to desired height.

(Note: Recommended height for bottom bladder is 18 inches. Combined height of upper and lower bladders is 24 inches.

Caution: Do not overfill.

7. To drain, simply unplug blue outlet valve.

(Note: For a more controlled drain, place end of garden hose into the blue outlet valve and extend hose downslope to desired area to drain.

8. Once drained, fold and role the WATERBAG into its originally purchased shape, making sure to drain as much water out of assembly as possible. Re-pack the WATERBAG into its nylon bag and store away.

9. When connecting more than one WATERBAG together (see directions #2 first.) Lay out interface membrane, Velcro strips facing up. Place ends of WATERBAG (unfilled) together evenly over membrane so Velcro bands on the bags align with Velcro strips on the membrane. (D) Note: For best alignment, half the width of the WATERBAGS should rest on the membrane. Once the WATERBAGS are filled, pull membrane up and over the bags, taking care to tuck membrane securely into contours of the WATERBAGS. Repeat as necessary for each subsequent WATERBAG.
