DANGER

•  DANGER:

 Rotating equipment will cause severe personal injury or death to persons who come in contact. Do not perform any service, maintenance 

or inspection on or near the fans, motors, and drives, or inside the unit without first ensuring that the fan and pump motors are disconnected, 
locked out, and tagged out. 
 
 

•  WARNING: 

The top horizontal surface of the unit is not intended to be used as a walking surface or working platform. If access to the top of the 

unit is desired, the purchaser/end-user is cautioned to use appropriate means complying with applicable safety standards of governmental 
authorities.

•  WARNING: 

When the fan speed of the unit is to be changed from the factory set speed, including changes achieved by the use of a variable fan 

speed device, steps must be taken to avoid operation at or near the fan’s “critical speed” which could result in fan failure and possible personal 
injury or damage. Contact your local BAC Representative regarding any such applications. 

•  WARNING: 

The recirculating water system may contain chemicals or biological contaminants, including Legionella, which could be harmful if 

inhaled or ingested. Personnel exposed directly to the discharge airstream and the associated drift mists, generated during operation of the 
water distribution system and/or fans, or mists produced by high pressure water jets or compressed air (if used to clean components of the 
recirculating water system), must wear respiratory protection equipment approved for such use by governmental occupational safety and health 
authorities.

•  WARNING:

 All electrical, mechanical, and rotating machinery are potential hazards, particularly for those not familiar with their design, 

construction, and operation. Accordingly, use appropriate lock out procedures. Adequate safeguards (including the use of protective enclosures 
where necessary) should be taken with this equipment both to safeguard the public from injury and to prevent damage to the equipment, its 
associated system, and the premises.

•  WARNING:

 

To prevent possible contamination of the make-up water supply, install a backflow prevention method in accordance with applicable 

local and national codes. 
 
 

• 

CAUTION: 

The operation, maintenance, and repair of this equipment shall be undertaken only by personnel authorized and qualified to do so. All 

such personnel shall be thoroughly familiar with the equipment, the associated system and controls, and the procedures set forth in this manual. 
Proper care, personal protective equipment, procedures, and tools must be used in handling, lifting, installing, operating, maintaining, and 
repairing this equipment to prevent personal injury and/or property damage.

•  CAUTION:

 This equipment should never be operated without all fan screens, access panels, and access doors in place.

•  CAUTION: 

Openings and/or submerged obstructions may exist in the bottom of the cold water basin. Use caution when walking inside this 

equipment. 

•  CAUTION: 

Do not use the plastic eliminators as a walking, working, or storage surface.  Misuse can result in physical injury and/or equipment 

damage.  After ensuring that the fan and pump motors are locked and tagged out, lift and remove eliminators as necessary to perform 
recommended maintenance and inspections.  If access to the top of the fill is required, place a piece of plywood at least 1/2 inch thick on top 
of the fill to protect the surface while performing the recommended maintenance.  When finished, carefully remove the plywood and replace any 
eliminators which were removed.

• 

CAUTION: 

Combined inlet shields can separate from the product during high winds. Fasten combined inlet shields in place using the retaining 

system.
