The ropes are partially unrolled, and then tossed back over the top of the AquaDam®. One end of each rope will be tied to the concrete traffic dividers, and the loose ends will be tied around the boom truck. Plenty of slack must be left, or when the AquaDam® rolls down the bank, the ropes will go with it!

A shot of the concrete traffic dividers.

The pallet puller is attached to the fill tubes, and the boom truck begins to pull. Care must be taken not to injure the fill tubes.

The AquaDam® quickly unrolls down the bank as soon as the fill tubes are pulled out of the way.
