IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
The warnings, precautions, and instructions discussed in this manual cannot cover all possible conditions and situations that may occur. The operator must understand that common sense and caution are factors which cannot be built into this product, but must be supplied by the operator.

DISPOSAL
At the end of the useful life of the Evaporative Cooler, dispose of the components according to all state, federal and local regulations.

ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS

Coolers are pre-assembled and ready to operate. Simply remove the packaging and then carefully remove the unit from the box. Install the casters. Lock the 2 locking wheels before filling and turning on fan to keep the cooler from moving from the air velocity.
NOTE: The media pad will have a slight odor when it is new. This is normal. It will dissipate after a period of time depending on the use time. Draining the tank often during the break in period will help speed this up.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Your cooler must be positioned in front of an open window or door if it is to operate effectively.
  2. Always ensure that there is another open window or door through which the air can exhaust from the room.
  3. Ensure the filter is kept clean throughout the summer season.
  4. At the end of each day run your cooler on FAN ONLY for 30 minutes to dry out the filter.
  5. Prior to putting your cooler away for winter, always:
    • Drain the tank and wipe out clean.
    • Clean the filter.
    • Re-assemble and run on FAN ONLY for 30 minutes to dry out the filter.
  6. Having completed assembly of your cooler, position the unit with its back to an open window or door. This will allow fresh air to be drawn through the cooler and exhausted from the room. Constant air change is essential and part of the fresh air benefit from evaporative air cooling.
  7. Remember your cooler has been designed to operate even if it runs out of water. No damage will be caused to the pump if cooler runs out of water.

FILLING COOLER OR CONNECTING TO WATER SUPPLY
Move the cooler to an area where it can be filled.
MANUAL FILL
The cooler can be filled via the front fill door by hose or bucket. Using the water fill indicator to monitor water level, simply depress the fill door and the spring lock will release and open it. To close, simply push it closed and locked.
AUTO FILL CONNECTIONS
Connect to a water supply using a garden hose or coil hose (supplied by customer), or a direct water line. (Parts for direct connection can be obtained at any hardware store.) Simply attach hose adapter (supplied with cooler) to the float valve nipple protruding from cooler. Verify water tight connections by visually examining the hose connection.
CAUTION
Water inlet pressure should be limited to a maximum 50 PSI. If valve is overcome, install a pressure reducer (25 PSI) on nipple first. (It can be obtained at hardware stores in irrigation section.) Hose bib needs only be cracked open slightly to supply water to float valve and the cooler only needs to be about half filled when in auto fill configuration. The float is already set to that level.

MAINTENANCE

WARNING: Do not remove the back panel with the cooler running. NOTE: For best operation and long useful life the following maintenance and cleaning procedures should be followed.

CLEANING COOLER AND PADS

At regular intervals the cooler should be shut down and disconnected from power supply. The water tank should be drained of dirty water and sprayed out with fresh water and refilled. The more you do this the better it will work and less calcium will develop on pads or other surfaces. You may spray through the cooling pads to wash them out and allow water to deposit in the tank to be drained away. The removable panel and media pad can be sprayed out on the ground to clean pad. Use light pressure when spraying pads. NEVER spray pads with water while cooler is operating and fan is running. This can cause damage to motor and will ARNIvWNo idctoynnect power supply before this procedure. . back panel (3).

  • Lift Panel up and pull out at the bottom.
  • Slide the panel out of the cabinet.
  • You will now have access to the pump, float valve and the water distributer spreaders.

DRAINING THE COOLER TANK
pull rubber drain plug from bottom of cooler. You may tip the unit carefully to the drain side to help drain all the water out.

REMOVAL AND REPLACEMENT OF COOLING MEDIA
The cooling pads are made from a special resin impregnated craft paper specially designed for evaporative cooling. They will last many years if maintained properly and water quality is maintained. It is not necessary to remove the pads to clean them. Inspect the pads for deposits of calcium on the air entering side. If the flute cells are clogged or the pad is very heavy it may be time to change the media. New media can be purchased where you bought the cooler. Follow these steps for replacing the pads.

  1. With access panel removed, simply pull off the pad retainer disc from the pad pin.
  2. With disc removed, remove the pins from the pads and carefully remove pads from the fixed side mounting frame. Then do the same for the back panel or panels.
  3. Pads are made with a 45/45 flute and can be installed either side to the frame. Just make sure the distribution pad that is fixed to the top of the new media pad is at the top. This allows water get onto the top of the pad evenly. The installation of the pads is opposite of the removal, install the pad, insert pins and install the retaining disc.
  4. Reinstall the back panel and you are ready to use the cooler again.

PUMP MAINTENANCE AND REPLACEMENT

NOTE: Disconnect power supply before this procedure. The submersible pump is mounted inside the tank to the bottom with a retention bracket. While you are cleaning the cooler the pump may be removed and the strainer cap on the bottom of pump can be cleaned of debris. If pump has failed and needs replacing follow these steps:

  1. Remove retaining screws.
  2. Remove the switch control panel from the top of cooler, by inserting a small screwdriver into the tap slots and pop loose.
  3. The pump is connected to the control via the white plastic clip. Disconnect the pump clip and feed the plastic clip through the control box into the cooler.
  4. There may be cable ties holding cable to the motor mounting bracket. Remove the pump from cooler when cable is free.
  5. Re-install the new pump in reverse. Being sure to reconnect the cable in the twist ties and secure the cable in a manner of which it stays clear of fan blade when cooler is running. Re-attach the pump clip in the control box. Be sure not to pull any other wires loose from control switches when you have panel loose.
  6. Re-install the control panel into the cabinet making sure it is seated.

FLOAT VALVE REPLACEMENT OR ADJUSTMENT
NOTE: Disconnect power supply before this procedure.
The float valve is mounted to the left side of cooler if you are facing the front grill. It is held in place by the retaining nut that is visible from the outside. The rubber washer is between the nut and cabinet. The rear panel will have to be removed to adjust the float (if the water level is too high or too low) or remove and replace a float that has failed to shut of water supply.
NOTE: Be sure that the PSI of the supply water is within the 50 PSI spec. Before determining the float has failed.

  1. The float valve can be purchased where you purchased your cooler.
  2. Remove any hose adapters attached to the float valve nipple.
  3. Remove the rear panel assembly as instructed in Section 5
  4. Remove the float valve retaining nut and rubber washer. And remove float valve from cabinet.
