Weather

Winter icing affects traction and equipment positioning. Describe recent weather and ground conditions so the service plan accounts for the approach.
Placement
Service access area
The service setup usually goes near the tank opening, access riser or grease trap, often along a driveway or side approach. Tenleytown slopes, mature trees, retaining edges, parked vehicles and narrow residential access can limit positioning, so the closest workable spot may not be directly beside the opening.
Permits
