The en re system must be considered for safety purposes and it is the responsibility of the
installer to ensure that all of the equipment is installed in compliance with the manufacturer’s
recommenda ons, with due regard to the current HEALTH AND SAFETY AT WORK ACT and con-
forms to all relevant statutory regula ons.
Where a unit is installed so that a failure of components could result in injury to personnel,
precau ons should be taken to prevent such an injury. If the unit is installed where there is a
reasonable possibility of persons or objects coming into contact with the impeller whilst
opera onal, a guard should be fitted or steps taken to prevent this. It is the installer’s
responsibility to ensure that access panels are not obstructed in any way and safe working
access for maintenance must be provided in accordance with Health and Safety and Building
Regula ons. For confirma on of required access please see the appropriate unit outline
drawing.
Considera on must also be given by the installer for adequate illumina on of the unit loca on
in order for safe maintenance. Further considera on should be given to the unit’s posi on and
secured into place as appropriate. This is especially important with external moun ng as the
wind and elements may effect the overall stability and safety of the unit.
Moun ng hangers, door furniture, isolators etc. extend beyond the casework and so are
vunerable to accidental damage. Take necessary precau ons so as not to cause damage whilst
handling the unit.
The weight of each unit/sec on is specified on the outline drawing and the total unit weight
will be displayed on the unit inspec on label. When li ing the unit using a fork li truck
ensure the whole unit is supported by the full length of the forks. It may be necessary to use
fork extensions to fully support the unit properly. The centre of gravity may be offset from the
centre of the unit; this needs to be taken into considera on when li ing the unit.
Handle with care. Failure to fully support the unit during li ing may result in damage to the
unit casework Handles, lids, housings and coil connec ons must NOT be used as li ing points.
Units are to be rigged and li ed using spreaders, taking
into account the weight of the unit, and li ing gear should
be arranged so as not to bear on the casework see right.
