Kirby Safety Precautions
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS FOR ALL WRC Units.
Kirby is very safety conscious when designing and manufacturing these products, but it is
essential that the end user, installer or service personnel also exercise care when working with
or on the unit.
Warning
This indicates contents for which the possibility of human death or severe injury
can be assumed in case of handling under disregard of this indication.
Caution
This indicates contents for which the possibility of human injury or the possibility
of material damage can be assumed in case of handling under disregard of this
indication.
Warning –Lifting & Installation Precautions
Refer “Appendix A” of this booklet.
Warning- Stand unit on flat and level ground
The WRC unit with the skid must be placed on flat and level ground with a suitably hard surface
to bear the weight of the unit.
Refer to Picture 2.
Caution –Cyclone or High Wind Regions
An optional brace for legs may be required. Refer page 13.
The WRC unit:
Moving Machinery
WRC Units have components that may start up automatically. All electrical items must be
isolated before any service or repairs are carried out.
No Smoking
Kirby recommends No Smoking within a distance of 15 metres of the WRC Unit.

Warning –Weight
The weight of WRC units will vary from model to model. Please check page –8- and –26- for the
correct packaged gross weight.
Warning –Electrical Hazard
A qualified Electrician must carry out all electrical work.
Always isolate the power to the unit before checking, diagnosing, removing and replacing the
fan assemblies. Never work on any electrical item without isolating or disconnecting the power
supply.
Caution –WRC Unit Pressurised
In the manufacturing of this product it is essential to pressurize and test the heat exchanger coil.
This unit is shipped with some pressure within it. Please take care when unsealing the unit to fit
the pipe and line connections.
Caution –Refrigerant Type
The WRC is designed for use with fluorocarbon refrigerants; under no circumstances can
Ammonia based gas, Hydrocarbon based gas, Water* or Glycol* be used in this product.
Refrigerant type: HCFC and HFC
(*For Water and Glycol Kirby offers the WDC dry cooler to special order)
Caution –Sharp Edges
The WRC is manufactured with sheet metal and in this process all care is taken to ensure the
edges are concealed. In some circumstances this cannot occur.
The aluminium fins of the heat exchanger have sharp edges and can cause severe cuts if
contacted carelessly.
Please take care when accessing in or around the WRC.
Warning –Qualified Personnel
WRC’s may only be installed, commissioned and serviced by qualified and trained personnel.
Personal Protective Equipment
Kirby recommends as a secondary safety precaution that all personnel working in and around
the WRC wear appropriate Personal Protective Equipment (PPE).

responsibility of the Installer and Owner to ensure all requirements are considered and complied
with.
Standard Design Conditions
WRC condensers are designed to operate with a maximum operating pressure of 3450kPag,
with a maximum KTD of 18K, and a minimum of 5K (please refer to the relevant technical data
literature for more specific recommendations). Special circuiting may be needed to achieve
specific conditions outside of these limits- please refer to your Kirby representative.
Motors must NOT be subject to air-over-motor temperatures greater than allowed by the fan
manufacturer(s). Please refer to the relevant technical literature.

1 Lifting & Installation for either: VERTICAL / HORIZONTAL AIR FLOW
1.1 Unloading from means of transportation: -
Due to the size and weight of the WRC it is essential that it is unloaded with suitable material
handling equipment. This may include either a crane or forklift that has a safe working load
greater than the weight of the WRC Unit.
(Horizontal Airflow shipment)
Refer Picture. 1 –Upright shipment (Horizontal Airflow shipment)
Preferred method: - Forklift
•Check load-rating plate to determine maximum safe working load. .
•Look for the cut-outs where the forklift tynes are to be entered into the skid so the WRC
can be lifted safely.
•Position tynes at centre of cut-out of skid, ensuring full engagement across the skid
depth.
Alternative method: - Crane method
•Use suitable lifting equipment that is able to safely load/unload the WRC unit from the
means of transportation.
•Refer picture 1 (horizontal airflow) for the designated WRC lifting points. Do Not lift the
WRC by any lifting points other than those specified (All lifting equipment used must have
a safe working load greater than the weight of the WRC.)
•If spreader bar & chains are used they must be at points ‘A’ & ‘B”. If unavailable, proper
lifting equipment such as long slings must be used at minimal angle to unit.
(Vertical Airflow shipment)
Refer Picture. 3 & 9 –Horizontal shipment (Vertical Airflow shipment) –Crane only
•Use crane that is able to safely load/unload the WRC unit from the means of
transportation. Check load rating plate to determine maximum safe working load. For
WRC Unit weights refer table on page 23.
•Refer picture 3 & picture 9 (vertical airflow) for the designated WRC lifting points. Do Not
lift the WRC by any lifting points other than those specified (All lifting equipment used
must have a safe working load greater than the weight of the WRC.)
•If spreader bar & chains are used they must be at points ‘A’ & ‘B”. If unavailable, proper
lifting equipment such as long slings must be used at minimal angle to unit.
•
1.2 Installation: - (Horizontal Airflow Shipment to Vertical air flow Installation)
Units can be laid down using a crane or a forklift. If using a crane, remove the attached
brackets and shackles for access to lifting points, or take care to ensure chains or slings
do not foul on the brackets.
If using a forklift, use the attached brackets and shackles (on twin coil units only) as
shown in Pic 2. Ensure a suitably rated forklift is used that also allows sufficient height
above the unit to achieve the specified maximum chain angle.
