OPTIONAL ACCESSORIES (CON'T)
Optional Plug-In Thermostat Usage
The MCP Series also can be controlled by a plug-in programmable thermostat, such as the LUX brand WIN
100. These thermostats are locally available, and enable precise timing and temperature control via an elec-
tronic thermostat that plugs into a 110 volt outlet. To use such a device with the MCP series cooler, follow the
instructions for the specific thermostat and plug the cooler into the outlet on the thermostat.
NOTE: Illustration is for reference only, models and features vary by model and manufacturer.
SERVICING INSTRUCTIONS
Maintenance on evaporative coolers is minimal, but very important to the proper operation and effectiveness of your cooler. Periodic
inspection of the cooler's interior will reduce the potential for substandard cooling due to insufficient or uneven water distribution.
NOTE: For general maintenance purposes, the unit may be rapidly drained of water by removing the overflow fitting from the
bottom of the unit. This is not adequate draining for winterization (see procedures under Winterization section.)
Annual Maintenance
(May be Needed More Often in Areas with Hard Water)
Cleaning
WARNING: Disconnect from electrical power and turn
unit off during all maintenance. Turn water supply off
before removing back for cleaning or maintenance.
CAUTION: In order to maintain UV resistance, do not use
abrasive cleaners on the exterior of the cooler body.
1.
Remove the back media guard (as shown below).
2.
Inspect pads in place. Remove media pads from back
guard by unscrewing the media peg clips. Be careful not
to chip or damage the media while removing. Visually
inspect both sides of media pads. Look for blockage,
mineral build-up or mildew growth, breakage or other
anomalies.
3.
Wash pads with a garden hose. Do not use a pressure
washer.
4.
Check water distributor for blockage or excessive build-
up of dust.
5.
Set media in a safe place until all maintenance is complete.
6.
Wash out reservoir thoroughly using a soft bristle brush.
Use plenty of water to remove algae growth. Clean ar-
eas around pump, strainer and float to ensure no algae
growth remains.
CAUTION: Do not use harsh chemicals (like chlorine
bleach) to clean the interior portions of the cooler.
7.
Rinse thoroughly after using any cleaning solutions on
the interior or exterior of the unit.
Water System Pump:
1.
The water pump is a self-contained unit that should re-
quire no maintenance other than ensuring that no debris
or corrosion interferes with free movement of the parts.
2.
Ensure hose connection to pump is in good condition.
Water Float:
3.
The float level is factory set for optimum performance,
however moderate adjustments can be made by bend-
ing the float arm for a different water level.
4.
The maximum recommended water level is approximate-
ly two inches (the height of the overflow orifice.)
