STARTING THE FAN
NOTE: Cooling pads must be installed and
caster brakes must be engaged.
Start the fan by turning the fan switch to one of the
available speeds. Adjust the speeds slowly allowing,
the fan to obtain its full speed at the LOW speed before
going to MEDIUM and before going to HIGH.
Very little maintenance is actually required on the
unit. The primary topic that accounts for most of the
maintenance is cleanliness. Keeping the unit clean
will do more than any other single item to maintain
your unit in peak operating condition. The rugged,
corrosion-resistant construction of the unit and industrial
grade components make for the low maintenance
characteristics. In exceedingly dusty or dirty
environments, optional filters are available from your
distributor.
DAILY MAINTENANCE
Daily the pump should be turned off approximately
15 minutes before the fan is turned off. This will allow
the cooling pads to dry out and help extend their life,
minimizing the growth of mildew, mold, bacteria and
other odor-causing elements.
WEEKLY MAINTENANCE
At the end of the week or at a scheduled time, the unit
should be shut down and the sump tank should be
drained. Close the spray bar adjustment valve and
open the drain valve. A hose may be attached to the
drain valve to drain the water to a remote disposal area.
Once the drain valve is open, starting the pump will
drain the unit. When the pump has removed most of the
water a small amount will be left in some areas.
Once the sump is drained and the power disconnected,
the pads may be removed for inspection of the sump
tank. Assuming that the unit is in a dusty environment,
dust may collect in the sump tank over time.
Vacuum out dirt and any remaining water using a wet/dry
shop vacuum and wipe clean with a cloth. Inspect and
clean the Inlet Strainer located on the bottom of the pump.
Replace pads in correct airflow direction, referring to label
on the pads.

MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE
Pads should appear wet; however, cascading amounts
of water can actually reduce cooling efficiency. Proper
adjustment will prevent problems and increase cooling
capacity.
When turning the fan off at the end of the day or
week, the pump should be turned off about 15 minutes
before the fan to allow the cooling pads to dry. This will
increase the life of the pads.
MONTHLY MAINTENANCE (OPTIONAL)
Place one hard water mineral treatment strip into
the bottom of the reservoir to prevent buildup due
to hard water. One 4-month supply is included with
the evaporative cooler. Additional boxes of mineral
treatments can be purchased by ordering Uline model
number H-6108.
STORAGE
1.
Drain all water from the sump tank and clean
as above, ensuring that the pads and sump are
completely dry.
2. Roll up power cord and secure it so that it is not
rolled over, tripped over or caught in equipment.
3. Cover the unit completely to prevent dust build up
and store in a dry area.
CAUTION! Disconnect power before removing
cooling pads from the unit!
This also helps prevent damage to the pads. Optional
dust covers are available from your distributor.
NOTE: Power cord may be replaced only by the
manufacturer or qualified agent!
