designated lifting points
can result in a dropped load
causing severe injury, death,
and/or property damage.

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.

qualified to do so should
undertake the installation,
operation, maintenance, and
repair of this equipment.
Proper care, procedures,
and tools must be used in
handling, lifting, installing,
operating, maintaining, and
repairing this equipment to
prevent personal injury and/or
property damage.

Safety
Adequate precautions appropriate for the installation and location
of these products should be taken to safeguard the equipment and
the premises from damage and the public from possible injury. The
procedures listed in this manual must be thoroughly reviewed prior to
rigging and assembly. Read all warnings, cautions, and notes detailed
in the margins.
When the fan speed of the unit is to be changed from the factory set
speed, including the use of a variable speed device, steps must be
taken to avoid operating at or near the fan's "critical speed" which
could result in fan failure and possible injury or damage. Consult with
your local BAC Representative on any such applications.

quality with minimum field assembly. As standard, models ship in
