The Portacool evaporative cooler consists of three systems — the fan system, the electrical system, and the water system.  It is important to determine with which of the systems 

the problem is associated. Certain problems may be associated with more than one system. A careful check of all systems should be made to fully understand the extent of the 

problem.

Repair and Replacement Procedures

Ensure all water is removed from the Portacool evaporative cooler and all power is disconnected. Remove all impediments to access the component you are check-

ing or replacing.

REPLACING THE COOLING MEDIA PADS

The flap must be removed to allow access to the cooling pads. Start with the center pad, which can  be tilted out from the top and lifted out of the drain trough. 

The two pads to either side of the center pad may then be removed in the same manner. To remove the two outside pads, they must first be pulled sideways 

toward the center of the Portacool evaporative cooler until they clear the side retainer before removing in the same manner as the other pads.

1) Locate the set screw in the rear of the unit on the upper right side of the pad flap.

2) Remove set screw and lower pad flap to vertical position. 

3) Once the pad flap is moved, grasp the middle pad and tilt out at a 90 degree angle.

4) Pull the pad up to remove from unit. Repeat for other pads.
