maintenance
• Workers performing decontamination procedures must wear personal
protective equipment (PPE) as directed by their facility safety officer.
• Cooling towers must be visually inspected regularly to assess signs of
bacterial growth, appearance of debris and scale on drift eliminators
and general operating conditions.
• Replace worn or damaged components.
To minimize the presence of waterborne microorganisms, including
Legionella, follow the water management plan for your facility, perform
regularly scheduled cooling tower inspections and maintenance, and enlist
the services of water treatment professionals.

Schedule of Tower Maintenance:
Included with this instruction packet are separate User Manuals on each major
operating component of the tower, and it is recommended that you read them
thoroughly. Where discrepancies may exist, the separate User Manuals will
take precedence.
The following is recommended as a minimum routine of scheduled maintenance:
Always shut off electrical power to the tower fan motor prior to
performing any inspections that may involve physical contact with
the mechanical or electrical equipment in or on the tower. Lock out
and tag out any electrical switches to prevent others from turning
the power back on. Service personnel must wear proper personal
protective clothing and equipment.
