6 Trophy Ducted Evaporative Cooler Use and Care Manual
Changing Cooler Pads
CAUTION:
Disconnect all electrical power to the cooler
before attempting to install, open, or service your cooler.
More than one disconnect may be required to de-energize
the equipment for servicing. If the cooler is
thermostatically controlled, the thermostat is not to be
used as the power supply disconnect, as it may reset and
start the unit unexpectedly.
The condition of your cooler pads should be checked at least once a
year; at the beginning of the season is best. However, your pads may
need to be checked more frequently, depending on local air and water
conditions. For instance, in areas where mineral content of the water
is high or the air is dusty, deposits may build up in the cooler pads,
restricting airflow. Clean or replace pads as follows:
1. Disconnect power from unit.
2. Remove pads from wet section cabinet as follows:
a.
Remove inlet louver panels from cabinet.
b.
Remove top pan from cabinet.
c.
Remove water distributor cover and tube assembly.
d.
Remove pads by tilting slightly forward and carefully lifting up
and out. If passages are clogged or pad is dirty, hose off inlet
face of pad. Light,
gentle
brushing of the inlet edges of the
pad with a stiff bristle brush (do not use a wire brush) will not
harm the pad and will remove more stubborn scaling.
e.
If necessary, replace with new pads, available from your
dealer. Aspen, expanded paper or other types of evaporative
cooling pads will not work and will void your warranty.
3. Using a mild detergent, wash dirt and scale from the inside of the
wet section cabinet. Wire brushing is not recommended. If finish
is damaged or rusting is noted, repair as noted in the “Touch-Up”
section. Rinse with fresh water.
4. Reinstall pads, making sure they
are positioned correctly (painted
stripe on pad placed to the bottom,
facing outside).
5. Reinstall water distributor cover and
tube assembly.
6. Reinstall top pan and inlet louver
panels.
REPLACEMENT PARTS
When ordering replacement parts, always refer to the serial and
model number of your cooler. Use the part numbers listed in the
accompanying parts list, as illustrated in the diagrams for your model.
Winter Shut Down:
-
Always
drain all of the water out of the cooler and water supply line
when not in use for prolonged periods, and particularly at the end of
the season. Keep the water line disconnected from both the cooler
and the water supply so it does not freeze.
- Disconnect
power from cooler during extended periods of non-use.
