ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
NOTE: Unit must be in upright position with
cooling pads installed!
This unit utilizes a single power cord and control switches.
Before connecting the plug to an outlet, ensure that
there is no standing water where the cord may lie or the
operator is standing. The use of separate multiple outlet
devices are not recommended.
PLACEMENT OF THE UNIT
There are three primary considerations when deciding
where to place this unit:
1.
Fresh Air Supply - The inlet side of the unit
(pad side) must be placed so as to ensure that a
smooth, uninterrupted supply of fresh air is available.
2. Air Pattern - The cool air discharged from
(fan side) the unit should have a clear area in which
to circulate, being as free of obstructions as
possible.
3. Ventilation (Exhaust) - There should be a defined
place in which the air from unit can be exhausted
from the area being cooled. This is to prevent the
unit from recirculating air that has already been
through the cooling process.
A primary consideration when actually deciding where
to place the unit is the direction of the airflow. The unit
creates a fan-shaped air pattern that circulates air over
a large area. This pattern may be disturbed or broken
up by obstacles such as shelves, workbenches, etc. It
is important to insure that a clean, unbroken path for
the air from the unit is provided to the maximum extent
possible.
You may want to raise the unit above any low
obstructions in order to increase the overall coverage.
When raising the height, insure that the platform
constructed for holding the unit is stable, well
constructed, and will not allow the unit to tip over.
The unit must be level and in the upright position.
When supporting with a platform allow for the full weight
of a functioning unit by including the weight of the water
both in the sump tank and the added weight of the
water saturated cooling pads. The total weight could be
in excess of 500 lbs. (227 kg.).
When the unit is placed near a wall or other obstruction,
it is recommended that a distance of at least 3 feet
from any wall or obstruction to the face of the cooling
pads.

SETUP CONTINUED
When making electrical connections ensure that local
and national codes are adhered to. Use only with GFCI
Protected Receptacles.
Please refer to the barcode product label on the side of
the unit for specific electrical requirements.
OPERATION
This allows the unrestricted flow of warm air to the
cooling pad side of the unit. If multiple units are used
near each other, be sure to aim the unit so that the
air flows compliment each other. Opposition will
negate the airflow and allow an area of dead air to
accumulate between units.
FILLING WITH WATER
Once the unit is connected to a water supply, turn
on the supply valve that fills the sump tank with water.
Once the sump tank is full, the float valve will shut off the
supply flow. (50 psi max. inlet water pressure.)
STARTING THE PUMP AND ADJUSTING
THE WATER FLOW
1. Once the sump tank is full, move the pump switch to
the ON position to turn on the pump.
When first turning on the pump, the level in the sump
will drop suddenly and restart the flow of supply
water. This is a normal condition, as the cooling
pads require a large amount of water for proper
wetting.
When the unit is new, the new pads will require an
initial 'breaking-in' period. This period is required
for the pads to begin readily absorbing water. It
may require up to a week to achieve maximum
efficiency.
2. It is important that the spray bar is properly adjusted
when first starting the water flow in the unit. To
increase the flow use the spray bar adjustment valve
on the side of the unit.
CAUTION! Do not run pump when sump is dry.
