Preparation

Those are only some of the safety issues that may arise in the design
process. SPX strongly recommends that you consult a safety engineer
to be sure that all safety considerations have been addressed.

Several options are available that may assist you in addressing some of
these personnel safety concerns, including:

• Distribution level access platform with handrail system around the

perimeter of the platform with a ladder for access to the platform.

• Ladder extensions—used where the base of the tower is elevated.
• Safety cages for ladders.
• Access door platform guardrail system around the perimeter of the

platform with a ladder for access to the platform.

Fluid Cooler Location

Space available around the fluid cooler should be as generous as possible
to promote ease of maintenance—and to permit freedom of airflow into
and through the fluid cooler. If you have questions about the adequacy
of the available space and the intended configuration of the fluid cooler,
please contact your Marley sales representative for guidance.

Prepare a stable, level support foundation for the fluid cooler, utilizing
weight, wind load, and dimensional information appearing on appropri-
ate Marley submittal drawings. Supports must be level to insure proper
operation of the fluid cooler.

The fluid cooler must be located at such distance and direction to
avoid the possibility of contaminated fluid cooler discharge air be-
ing drawn into building fresh air intake ducts. The purchaser should
obtain the services of a Licensed Professional Engineer or Registered
Architect to certify that the location of the fluid cooler is in compli-
ance with applicable air pollution, fire and clean air codes.
