Intended Use

The Fresair Air Cooling Unit is used to supply the interior with cool air.
The system is designed for stationary use. It can be used while driving.
NOTE
Only install the Fresair Air Cooling Unit using the installation instructions provided in the manual.
The Fresair unit uses minimal 12V power to pull air from the outside of the vehicle, through an anti-bacterial and anti-fungal pine straw filter, delivering strong directional air through the four adjustable air vents. With the cooling mode on, the pine filter is gradually wetted through a drop system, by repetitive injection and return of circulating water from the water reservoir. The pine straw filter is never oversaturated and water usage is conserved by this regular flow of water between the reservoir and the unit. The resultant air flowing into the vehicle is cooled by an evaporative process.
The unit will continue to produce cool air until it is turned off, the connected power source is depleted, or the water reservoir is exhausted.
The unit can be used both with or without water circulation. To use it without, power on the Fresair unit and power off the pump on the control panel. With no water circulating the system acts like a simple directional fan without cooling.
The system is controlled using the control panel or the included remote control.
NOTE
The Fresair Air Cooling unit can lower the temperature within the vehicle to a certain level. The temperature depends on the type of vehicle, the ambient temperature and the cooling capacity of your unit. For the cooling capacity of your unit, see “Technical data” on page 7.

Operation Information

NOTICE!
The manufacturer assumes no liability for non-observance of this operating manual, in particular for any consequential damage(s), especially consequential damage(s) caused by failure of the Fresair Air Cooling unit. Do not insert foreign objects into the system.

Observe the following instructions to ensure your Fresair Air Cooling Unit is used properly and efficiently.

It is recommended that you:

Park your vehicle in the shade when possible.
If you leave your vehicle and your unit is in off mode and the vehicle is not ventilated, make sure to open a window, door, or vent when you return in order to release hot air and more quickly introduce cool air.
Select a suitable fan speed by increasing or decreasing the speed until the desired speed is achieved.
Use the any or all of the 4 directional vents to point the airflow to the desired areas. Ensure water reservoir is full.
The water pump automatically turns on when the unit is turned on provided there is water present in the reservoir.
Keep the water pump on for maximum cooling performance.
The best cooling capacity is achieved when the fan is at maximum speed, the pump is on and the directional vents are directed toward you.

Operation

With the system switched off, press the button.
The Power LED and Water Pump LED light up.
The fan and water pump starts.
If you wish for the unit to operate without the water press the button to turn the water pump off.
To increase or decrease the airflow press the button.
To turn the interior light on or off press the button.

If the product is defective, please contact the dealer you purchased from or contact Fresair directly by emailing support@fresair.com. For repair and warranty processing, please include a copy of the receipt with purchase date and a reason for the claim and/or description of the fault.
In no case will Fresair exchange the product for a replacement solely due to a defective component.
- Damages caused by accidents;
- Plastic items: superior cover in ABS plastic, main panel, finishing frame and base;
- Electric harness or hoses cut or damaged;
- Control panel with any sign of modification or use with other brand;
- Fan with broken or damaged airscrew or with normal brush wear and tear;
- Air filter obstructed by dirt or dust;
- Any component in which the label with the date of manufacture is removed or not legible;
- Use of unauthorized parts, unauthorized modifications, or unauthorized repairs made by technicians or individuals who are not licensed or not qualified to modify or repair Fresair units;
- Off road application;
- Unsatisfactory product performance due to improper installation;
- Damage caused by unexpected circumstances (ex: accident, fall, wear and tear, violent weather conditions, use of chemical abrasive products inside and outside the product, etc.);
- If the product is switched on at a different voltage than it was intended for;
- Removal of and/or modification of the serial number or the product identification label.
  NOTICE!
  If kept in off mode for an extended period of time, there may be an odor when turning it on again as a result of the absence of water cycling through the straw filter. You may remedy this by running a few cycles and the odor will naturally subside.
  NOTICE!
  This model has exclusive application for on road uses. We do not recommend extreme off road uses at this time.
  NOTICE!
  Never add anti-freeze, softener, perfume, fragrance or any other substance than pure water in the reservoir. Adding substances could create foam or potentially cause leaks.

Parts: Maintenance

Fan: Located in the center of the tray, the fan draws in external air and blows internal air through the 4 directional vents.
NOTE
The fan contains carbon brushes that can degrade over time. We recommend replacing every 4 years.
Evaporative Straw Filter: Located in the tray, external air is pulled through the moistened straw causing evaporation over a large surface area resulting in the cooling of the passing air which is delivered to the internal vents. It also filters out dust, insects, and acts as a humidifier in very low humidity environments.
NOTE
We recommend inspecting the filter and washing with a hose every 3-6 months to remove dirt and debris. Depending on usage we recommend replacing the filter every 12 months.
Tray Internal Filter: An internal filter located in the tray which is responsible for filtering the excess water descending from the straw filter. The water is then recycled and returned to the water reservoir
NOTE
We recommend inspecting and gently washing the filter every 6 months. Excess amounts of dirt could prevent water from cycling through, possibly cause water leakage.
Tray Pre-Filter: Also located in the tray and is responsible for a second filtering process, avoiding the entry of dirt into the pump, protecting the pump from clogging and breaking down.
NOTE
We recommend inspecting and gently washing the filter every 6 months. Dirt can gradually accumulate which overtime lowers the equipment’s performance and can cause eventual water leakage.
Water Pumps
- INJECTION: The injection pump is located on the outside of the water reservoir and sends water to the Fresair unit.
- RETURN: The return pump is located in the tray and returns excess water to the reservoir.
  NOTE
  We recommend removing the pumps every 6 months and cleaning them with an air blast. Additionally, we recommend changing the pumps every 12 months.
Float Sensor: The sensor buoy is attached to the water tank and monitors the water level. If the tank is full and the low water warning light remains on, check that the sensor is inserted correctly in the reservoir with the green dot facing up. If the sensor is inserted correctly and the light remains on it should be replaced.
Control Panel: The control panel controls all the product functions. The panel is equipped with an internal safety circuit against motor and pump short-circuits. Should your unit stop working, always check the fan motor and pumps first. The control panel may turn off, protecting itself against some other electrical defects. If the control panel is completely dead, check the main fuse to the battery.

NOTICE!
Periodical maintenance is essential for optimal performance and prolonging the life of your Fresair Air Cooling unit. We recommend preventative maintenance and replacing of wearable parts annually or as outlined in the manual, coinciding with your yearly vehicle maintenance.
