MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE

Regular maintenance and periodic inspection is the key to long and
successful service from your Brisa cooler. The cooler should receive
major servicing at least once a year, more often if conditions require
(dusty environment, constant use, poor water quality, etc.) For
maximum cooling efficiency, long life and appearance, every two
months during operation, the cooler should be inspected and cleaned.
NOTE: Do Not Undercoat the Water Reservoir
Your cooler's water reservoir is finished with our Peblar XT®
appliance-type finish. It is so hard that asphalt-type cooler water pan
under-coatings will not stick to it. Undercoating will break free,
clogging the pump and water distribution system.
NOTE: Do not use cooler cleaners, cooler treatments, anodes or other
chemical additives in this evaporative cooler. Use of any additives or
water treatment other than the furnished bleed-off will void your
warranty and may impair the life of the cooler.
Before starting any maintenance operation, thoroughly read all
operating and maintenance instructions and observe all
cautions and warnings.
Cleaning
CAUTION:
Never wash your cooler cabinet with a
garden hose; water may harm motor and pump or seep
into ductwork. Motors damaged by water are NOT covered
under warranty.
All foreign materials, mineral scale, hard water deposits, dirt, etc.
should be removed from pad frames, water pan and other
components. Your cooler's long lasting finish can be brought to like-
new condition by using warm water and a soft cloth.
NOTE: Avoid using scouring pads, steel wool or wire brushes, as
these will damage the finish and encourage corrosion.
Maintenance & Inspection
IMPORTANT:
Before operating cooler at the beginning
of each cooling season, turn blower wheel and pump
motor shafts by hand to make sure they turn freely. Failure
to do so may result in burning out motor.
Periodic inspection of your cooler will enhance the chance for long,
trouble-free service life. For maximum efficiency, every two months
during operation, or any time the cooler is opened, the cooler should
be inspected. Some suggested items to look for:
Check for leaks from pad frames, cabinet, etc.
