An envelope with check-list is stored in a wooden no nail crate or a plastic container which is placed in the lower section. For safety reasons, access doors / panels may be sealed with bolts. The following table specifies which wrench is required to open them.
1. Heater Unit weights Before rigging any BAC equipment, the weight of each section should be verified on the unit certified drawing. These weights are approximate and should be confirmed by weighing before lifting when available hoisting capacity provides little margin for safety.
In such cases adapter pieces need to be installed. Freeze protection These products must be protected against damage and/or reduced effectiveness due to possible freeze-up by mechanical and operational methods. Please contact your local BAC Balticare representative for recommended protection alternatives. Bleed Line Installation On all open cooling towers, install a bleed line with valve between the system circulating pump discharge riser and a convenient drain.

Lifts must be performed by qualified riggers following BAC published Rigging 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.
BAC will guarantee all products to be free from manufactured defects in materials and workmanship for a period of 24 months from the date of shipment. In the event of any such defect, BAC will repair or provide a replacement.
