Warnings
• WARNING: 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.
• WARNING: Do not perform any service on or near the fans, motors, and drives, or inside the unit
without first ensuring that the fans and pumps are disconnected, locked out, and tagged out.
• 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: Openings and/or submerged obstructions may exist in the bottom of the cold water basin.
Use caution when walking inside this equipment.
• 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: Drift eliminators on PCT 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.
• 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. Additionally,
inverter duty motors are required on installations that are to be controlled by VFDs.
• WARNING: The re-circulating 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 re-circulating water system), must wear respiratory protection
equipment approved for such use by governmental occupational safety and health authorities.
• WARNING: The basin heater is not designed to prevent icing during unit operation.
