Components

The Justrite Talon SX Berm (T8426) typically consists of the following primary components:

• Berm Fabric: Durable, chemical-resistant material forming the base and walls.
• L-Brackets: Integrated or removable L-shaped supports that maintain the wall's upright position.
• Ground Mat (Optional): A protective layer placed beneath the berm to prevent punctures.

Setup Instructions

Follow these steps for proper deployment of your Talon SX Berm:

1. Prepare the Site: Select a flat, stable, and clean surface. Remove any sharp objects, debris, or uneven terrain that could damage the berm fabric. If available, lay down a protective ground mat.
2. Unfold the Berm: Carefully unroll and unfold the berm at the chosen location. Ensure the base is fully extended and flat.
3. Erect the Walls: The Talon SX Berm features L-brackets that automatically spring into an upright position as the berm is unfolded. Ensure all four walls are fully extended and locked into their vertical position. Verify that the corners are properly formed.
4. Inspect: Perform a final visual inspection of the berm for any creases, tears, or improper wall setup before placing any items inside.

Operating Instructions

Once the berm is set up, it is ready for use as a spill containment area.

• Placement of Items: Carefully place drums, tanks, or equipment within the berm's containment area. Avoid dragging heavy or sharp objects across the berm's floor.
• Spill Response: In the event of a spill, the berm will contain the liquid. Do not allow the contained liquid to exceed the berm's capacity.
• Liquid Removal: Once a spill is contained, remove the liquid using appropriate methods such as pumps, absorbents, or vacuum systems. Ensure proper disposal of hazardous waste according to all applicable regulations.
• Vehicle Entry/Exit (if applicable): For berms designed for vehicle traffic, ensure vehicles enter and exit slowly and carefully to avoid damaging the berm walls or fabric. The L-brackets are designed to temporarily collapse under wheel pressure and spring back up.

Maintenance

Regular maintenance will extend the lifespan of your berm and ensure its effectiveness.

• Cleaning: After use, especially after a spill, clean the berm thoroughly with mild soap and water. Rinse completely and allow to air dry before folding for storage. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
• Inspection: Periodically inspect the berm for any signs of wear, tears, punctures, or damage to the fabric or L-brackets. Pay close attention to seams and corners.
• Storage: When not in use, fold the berm neatly and store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, extreme temperatures, and sharp objects.
• Repairs: Small punctures or tears may be repaired using a compatible patch kit. Consult Justrite's official resources or contact customer support for recommended repair procedures and materials.
