CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Cooling Reservoir
Empty and wipe out reservoir and
tubes after each use. When
necessary, wipe cooling reservoir and
hoses with warm, antibacterial soapy
water. Once every two weeks, pour 16
ounces of Isopropyl (Rubbing) Alcohol
in the reservoir with the ice and water
while system is in use. Periodically
check the pump inlet to ensure it is clear.
Vest, Head Cap, Wrap, Blanket, Seat, or Bladder
Cleaning:
Hand wash with a mild detergent and air
-
dry, being careful not to bend the
tubing. The vest, head cap, wrap, blanket, seat, or bladder may also be spot cleaned
with warm soapy water or washed on delicate cycle in a laundry bag. Always air
-
dry.
Proper handling:
The vest, head cap, wrap, blanket, seat, or bladder should never be
roughly handled, bent, folded, crushed or treated harshly. Always hang the vest, head
cap, wrap, blanket, seat, or bladder when not in use!
Proper fit:
The vest, head cap, wrap, blanket, seat, or bladder should fit comfortably
on the body and not be over
-
strained or pulled.
Proper storage:
Be sure the vest, head cap, wrap, blanket, seat, or bladder is always
stored in a clean, dry environment with good ventilation.
Care of system:
Once every two weeks, and prior to extended storage, pour 16
ounces of Isopropyl Alcohol (rubbing alcohol) in the cooling unit with the ice and
water while the unit is being used. This will keep the system clear of the buildup that
occurs in water-circulation systems.
Extended Storage
Note: It is not possible to remove all of the water from the system and tubing,
therefore before extended storage follow these instructions.
a) When you have finished all of your cooling, prior to extended storage, fill the
reservoir with water to the fill line and add 2 tablespoons of liquid bleach to the
water and mix. This will help keep the system clean.
b) Connect the vest, head cap, wrap, blanket, seat, or bladder to the system and turn
the unit on.
c) Allow the water mixture to circulate for 5 minutes.
d) Turn unit off and unplug the power supply.
e) Carefully drain the water mixture out of the unit and store in a cool dark place
leaving the lid slightly open. (Exposure to sunlight and extreme heat may damage
hoses and unit.)
