Access Door Operation:
Always shut off electrical power to the tower fan motor prior to
performing any inspections that may involve physical contact with
the mechanical or electrical equipment in or on the tower. Lock out
and tag out any electrical switches to prevent others from turning
the power back on. Service personnel must wear proper personal
protective clothing and equipment.
To allow access to the mechanical system, eliminators, water distribution
system and fill surface, a access door is provided toward the top of the tower.
To open, follow the following steps:
1. Remove any lock that is securing the door shut.
2. Loosen and remove the locking knob at the center of the access
door panel.
3. Slide the panel with the handle sideways as far as it will travel.
4. Push the panel toward the inside of the tower. The panel will hinge to the side.
Drift Eliminator Removal and Replacement:
The drift eliminators may be removed for cleaning, replacement or access to
the distribution system. The eliminators are held in place by a press fit, so there
is no need to remove any fasteners. However, eliminators are formed so that
they nest with each other and form a monolithic barrier. Individual packs of
eliminator are formed into 2'-0 wide sections that span from the casing wall
to the centerline of the tower, just under the mechanical torque tube.
Eliminator edges can be very sharp and could cut skin if proper
protection is not used. Always wear gloves and sleeves when han-
dling eliminator packs.
