To ensure a successful installation and prevent damage to your ADS MC-3500 StormTech chambers and end caps, follow these key handling practices. First, proper storage is essential; always store end caps upright to prevent distortion. When removing chambers from the pallet and placing them, avoid dropping them or using excessive force. Before and during installation, carefully inspect the chambers for any signs of distortion, damage, or joint integrity issues, referring to the installation guide for details. Correct placement is also critical; ensure chambers and end caps align properly with inlet pipes. Consider leaving the ends of rows open initially to simplify chamber inspection during backfilling. Finally, avoid using a dozer to push embedment stone between chamber rows. The installation guide specifically prohibits the "dump and push" method with a dozer as it can damage the chambers and potentially void the warranty. Adhering to these guidelines will help ensure the longevity and proper function of your StormTech system.
