PLACEMENT
1) Make sure there is a clear, unobstructed path in front of the evaporative cooler to provide maximum airflow.
2) If the evaporative cooler is positioned on a raised platform, ensure the platform is stable, well constructed, and will not allow the
cooler to tip over and that it allows for the full weight of the evaporative cooler including a tank full of water. The cooler must be
level and in the upright position. The casters should also be locked to prevent the cooler from moving.
with media facing the wall. This allows the unrestricted flow of warm air to the KUUL

evaporative media side of the cooler. When
using multiple coolers in close proximity, be sure to aim each evaporative cooler so the air flows complement each other to achieve
maximum cooling capacity.
STARTING THE PUMP AND ADJUSTING THE WATER FLOW
Once the tank is full of water, moving the pump switch to the “ON” position on the control panel will turn on the pump. When initially turning on
the pump, the level in the water tank will drop suddenly and restart the flow of supply water. This is a normal condition, as the cooling media

leave the media saturated with water, but not flooded. Media should appear wet. When properly adjusted, one or two dry streaks will appear
across surface of the KUUL

evaporative media.
When turning the evaporative cooler off at the end of the day or week, the pump should be turned off about 15 minutes before the fan to allow
the KUUL

evaporative media to dry.
