Unit weights

Before rigging any BAC equipment, the weight of each section should be verified on the unit certified drawing.

These weights are

approximate

and should be confirmed by weighing

before lifting

when available

hoisting capacity provides little margin for safety.

CAUTION

Before an actual lift is undertaken, ensure no water, snow, ice or debris has collected in the sump

or elsewhere in or on the unit. Such accumulations will add substantially to the equipment’s lifting

weight.

In the event of extended lifts or where hazards exist, the lifting devices should be used in conjunction with safety

slings placed under the unit.

Anchoring

The unit must be properly anchored in place.
Refer to the suggested support details on the certified drawing for locations of the mounting holes. Anchor bolts

must be provided by others.
Holes suitable for 20 mm bolts are provided in the bottom flange of the lower section for bolting the unit to the

support beams.

Leveling

The unit must be level for proper operation and ease of piping.
Support beams must also be level as shims should not be used between pan and support beams to level the unit.
