Safety Precautions - BAC FXV-0806-12D Series Operation & Maintenance Manual

Safety Precautions

DANGER
• DANGER: Rotating equipment will cause severe personal injury or death to persons who come in contact. Do not perform any service on
or near the fans, motors, and drives, or inside the unit without first ensuring that the fans and pump motors are disconnected, locked
out, and tagged out.
WARNING
• WARNING: Check to ensure the controls for the fan motor are set to allow a maximum of six on-off cycles per hour to prevent
motor overload.
• 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: SunScreens on FXV and CXVB units are not designed to support the weight of a person or to be used as a storage or work
surface for any equipment or tools. Use of these SunScreens as walking, working or storage surfaces may result in injury to personnel or
damage to equipment. Units with SunScreens should not be covered with a plastic tarpaulin.
• 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.
CAUTION
• 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: All electrical, mechanical, and rotating machinery are potential hazards, particularly for those not familiar with their design,
construction, and operation. Accordingly, use appropriate lockout 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.
• CAUTION: This equipment should never be operated without all fan screens, access panels, and access doors in place. For the
protection of authorized service and maintenance personnel, install a lockable disconnect switch located within sight of the unit on
each fan and pump motor associated with the equipment.
• CAUTION: Openings and/or submerged obstructions may exist in the bottom of the cold water basin. Use caution when walking inside
the equipment.
