INSTALL OVERFLOW AND DRAIN
NOTE: There are two overflow assemblies supplied with this unit. Install one in
each of the openings in the bottom pan. One overflow assembly is to route water
tubing to the float.
Reservoir
1. Slide the Rubber Washer over the Drain Bushing and push through the hole in the
bottom of the cooler from the topside.
2. Secure the Drain Bushing from beneath the pan with the Lock Nut. Make sure the
Rubber Washer does not twist while tightening, which could cause it to leak. DO NOT
OVERTIGHTEN.
3. Thread the Overflow Tube into the Drain Bushing and HAND TIGHTEN .
4. If leakage occurs after Reservoir is full, retighten the Overflow Pipe until leaking stops.
A small amount of silicone caulk may be used if necessary.
FLOAT VALVE INSTALLATION
1. Place the threaded portion of the Float Valve through the hole provided in the
Float Bracket (inside unit) as shown.
2. Slip the Fiber Washer over the threaded portion of the float and secure with the
Ring Nut. Be sure the Float does not turn while you are tightening the nut.
WATER LINE CONNECTION
1. Find the closest outside water faucet, and install a Water Connection Kit (not
included with cooler) as shown. If an exterior faucet is not available, locate the
closest cold water pipe and install a saddle valve assembly.
2. Route tubing into cooler through one of the overflow assemblies as shown. Place
Compression Nut and Ferrule over end of tubing. Insert the tubing into float valve
and tighten Compression Nut to secure.
NOTE: Over tightening a compression fitting will cause that fitting to leak. It is best
to secure the connections, turn on the water, and then snug the fitting until leaking stops.
ADJUSTING WATER LEVEL AND FLOAT VALVE
1. To adjust water level, bend the float valve rod.
2. Check all water connections for leaks.
3. Make sure the Float Valve cuts off completely when the desired water level has
been reached (½” to ¾” below top of Overflow Tube). If the float does not stop
the water completely, the water level will rise and run out the Overflow Tube.
4. Double-check the Overflow Tube for leaks.
START UP
1. Plug in the electrical cord to a standard grounded receptacle.
2. Turn the cooler to the Pump Only position. The pump should run and not the fan.
Check to see that the pads are wetting evenly. The Pads may take up to 20 minutes to wet fully.
Ferrule
Faucet
3. Turn the cooler to the High Cool position. The pump should remain running and the fan should run on high speed.
4. Turn the cooler to the Low Cool position. The pump should remain running and the fan should run on low speed.
5. Turn the cooler to the High Vent position. The fan should deliver the same airflow as in High Cool.
6. Turn the cooler to the Low Vent position. The fan should deliver the same airflow as in Low Cool.
Note: on cool nights (or days) or when the humidity level is high, the fan positions may be used for ventilation purposes.
MAINTENANCE
1. Once a month during cooling season, inspect your cooler for leaks, blocked water lines and excessive residue build-up
on the pads.
2. At the end of the season, drain the reservoir. Remove the drainpipe and let water and dirt pass through the drain fitting.
3. Lime build-up can occur in the water reservoir and on louvers. Clean this off at least once per season. If any rust or
bare metal spots occur on the cabinet or louver, the metal should be sanded, primed and painted with good quality
paint.
4. If freezing weather occurs in your area, it is best to shut off the water supply at the source and drain the supply line to
the cooler.
