Safety Precautions
All electrical, mechanical and rotating machinery constitute a potential hazard, particularly for those not
familiar with its design, construction and operation. Accordingly, adequate safeguards (including use of
protective enclosures where necessary) should be taken with this equipment both to safeguard the public
(including minors) from injury and to prevent damage to the equipment, its associated system and the
premises. If there is doubt about safe and proper rigging, installation, operation or maintenance procedures,
contact the equipment manufacturer or his representative for advice.
When working on operating equipment, be aware that some parts may have an elevated temperature. Any
operations on elevated level have to be executed with extra care to prevent accidents.
AUTHORIZED PERSONNEL
The operation, maintenance and repair of this equipment should be undertaken only by personnel authorized and qualified to do so. All
such personnel should be thoroughly familiar with the equipment, the associated systems and controls and the procedures set forth in this
and other relevant manuals. Proper care, procedures and tools must be used in handling, lifting, installing, operating and repairing this
equipment to prevent personal injury and/or property damage.
MECHANICAL SAFETY
Mechanical safety of the equipment is in accordance with the requirements of the EU machinery directive.
Depending upon site conditions it also may be necessary to install items such as bottom screens, ladders, safety cages, stairways, access
platforms, handrails and toe boards for the safety and convenience of the authorized service and maintenance personnel. At no time this
equipment should be operated without all fan screens, access panels and access doors in place. When the equipment is operated with a

ELECTRICAL SAFETY
Each fan and pump motor associated with this equipment should be installed with a lockable disconnect switch located within sight of the
equipment. No service work should be performed on or near the fans, motor, drives or inside the equipment unless fan and pump motors,
heaters etc. are electrically isolated.
LIFTING
CAUTION
FAILURE TO USE DESIGNATED LIFTING POINTS CAN RESULT IN A DROPPED LOAD CAUSING SEVERE INJURY, DEATH AND/

INSTRUCTIONS AND GENERALLY ACCEPTED LIFTING PRACTICES. THE USE OF SUPPLEMENTAL SAFETY SLINGS MAY ALSO BE
REQUIRED IF THE LIFT CIRCUMSTANCES WARRANT ITS USE, AS DETERMINED BY THE RIGGING CONTRACTOR.
LOCATION
All cooling equipment should be located as far away as possible from occupied areas, open windows or air intakes to buildings.
CAUTION
EACH UNIT SHOULD BE LOCATED AND POSITIONED TO PREVENT THE INTRODUCTION OF DISCHARGE AIR INTO THE
VENTILATION SYSTEMS OF THE BUILDING ON WHICH THE UNIT IS LOCATED OR THOSE OF ADJACENT BUILDINGS.
For detailed recommendations on BAC equipment layout, please see the BAC Application Handbook EUEdition,
