SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
It is important that only qualified technicians, licensed contractors, or licensed electricians perform
installation related services of your cooling tower in order to make sure the unit is properly installed and
in compliance with local building codes. Amcot is not responsible for any failures or damages to the
cooling tower or it’s components in the event the unit is not properly installed.
Also, to prevent personal injury or property damage it is important that the cooling tower is operated in
a proper manner with all safety guards in place at all times.
WARNING: Cooling Towers should be installed with proper disconnect switches which are located
within visible sight of the unit and have lock out capabilities. They must be properly sized if those
disconnects are fused or include breakers. All electrical components must be installed in strict
accordance to your local building codes.
WARNING: All electrical equipment should be disconnected and locked out prior to disassembling,
entering, or working on the cooling tower.
WARNING: Most cooling towers utilize chemical treatment systems designed to help against the
accumulation of scale, biological growth, along with bacteria and Legionella, all of which can be
harmful if inhaled or ingested. While in most circumstances the air exhaust will not pose harm to
individuals, it is strongly recommended that workers wear proper PPE equipment when working on or
near the cooling tower.
WARNING: The cooling tower must always be operated with fan guard(s), louvers, and casing panels
in place and secured. Failure to do so may cause personal injury, property damage, or both.
WARNING: Some vibration during operation is normal for most cooling towers. Preassembled towers
are quality checked for loose fasteners and proper fan pitch, however during transit it is possible that
fasteners may become loose. In the event you experience significant vibration occurring, immediately
shut off the unit and check all fasteners and verify pitch and blade angle per the instructions in this
manual before turning back on. If vibrations persist, contact your installing contractor,
representative, or Amcot directly. Running the tower with excessive vibration can lead to significant
equipment damage and even possibly cause personal injury or property damage.
