SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Important Safety Instructions and
Warnings

Read this entire manual before
proceeding to install the cooler.

Failure to observe these warnings
and instructions will void
manufacturer's warranties and will
discharge the manufacturer of all
liability.

!

ALWAYS disconnect the cooler
from the power supply before
commencing maintenance
procedures.

Avoid Dangerous Situations:
Protect the cooler from all
sources of ignition because
polymers and cooling pads will
burn.

WARNING: The warnings and safety
instructions in this manual must be
followed to reduce the risk of fire,
electric shock or injury, and to provide
reasonable safety and efficiency in
using this Evaporative Air Cooler. The
operator is responsible for following the
warnings and instructions in this
manual and on the cooler.

During maintenance procedures,
NEVER use a naked flame for any
inspection or cleaning purpose as
a fire could be caused by a flame
coming into contact with the cooler
materials.

NEVER use a water hose to squirt the
interior of the cooler for cleaning as
residual water could damage electrical
components and create the risk of fire
and /or electric shock to the user after
re-assembly.

CAUTION

This appliance is not intended for
use by persons (including children)
with reduced physical, sensory or
mental capabilities, or lack of
experience and knowledge, unless
they have been given supervision or
instruction concerning use of the
appliance by a person responsible
for their safety.

Safety

WATER PUMP

Under no circumstances are
"Power Clean" style timed pumps
to be used in any Breezair
evaporative air cooler.

Failure to follow this

instruction will VOID ALL
WARRANTY and may create severe
risk of electric shock and fire!

FAN MOTOR

Failure to follow this instruction will
VOID ALL WARRANTY and may
create severe risk of electric shock
and fire!

CIRCUIT BREAKER PROTECTION

The water pump is supplied with this
cooler and is factory fitted into its
correct location.

Ensure that it is properly secured and
upright as intended.

There is no need to adjust the water
flow since the cooler is designed to
operate with maximum cooling at low
air velocities.

Factory authorized pumps are fitted
with thermal overload protection.
Water pumps may seize up and
overheat, creating a fire risk. Pumps
that have thermal overload protection
are designed to shut off the pump if
the motor overheats.

Seeley "Tornado" pump (part no.
095851)

Use of these

devices or any other non-approved
device will cause serious damage to
the special safety circuits of this
cooler.

This cooler is supplied with a fan
motor made by the cooler
manufacturer. USE ONLY THE
AUTHORIZED FAN MOTOR
SUPPLIED.

Seeley Variable Speed motors:

550W (3/4HP) motor part # 095118
750W (1HP) motor part # 095125

The fan motor is equipped with inbuilt
overheating protection that will reset
automatically on cool-down to a safe
temperature. This may take up to 45
minutes.

This cooler is fitted with circuit breaker
protection for the fan motor and pump.

Disconnect electrical power at the fuse or

circuit breaker box before installation
commences. ALWAYS turn OFF the isolating
switch (disconnect) located on the electronic
module inside the cooler BEFORE
commencing any maintenance procedures

Keep children, bystanders and animals at

a safe distance, a minimum of 30ft (10m)
away from working areas.

Dress safely. Wear non-skid shoes when

working at high levels and roofs. Do not
wear loose clothing or personal accessories
while installing or servicing the air cooler as
they may become caught in moving parts.

Keep loose hair, loose clothing, fingers

and all other parts of the body away from
openings and moving parts.

Check the cooler for worn, loose, missing,

or damaged parts before operation.

If you work with power tools, wear

protective eyewear and gloves.

Take care when lifting or raising the air

equipment and never attempt to lift the
cooler alone. Always have assistance.
Otherwise you might damage the cooler or
the building or injure yourself.

Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI)

protection should be provided on the circuit
supplying this air cooler. Receptacles are
available with built-in GFCI protection.

Air coolers installed on roofs must not

have the waste water directed onto the roof
as stains will occur. Connect the cooler drain
outlet to a gutter or drain pipe using a
suitable hose.

Always use the correct tools.

the packaging plastic on this

cooler can be a safety hazard. Dispose of

cooler.

Avoid dangerous situations. Do not use

the cooler in the presence of flammable
liquids or gasses to avoid creating fire or
explosion. This air cooler is NOT flame
retardant. A fire may result from contact with
a flame or from an electrical short.

Use of wrong replacement parts creates

risk of severe electric shock and fire which
may result in serious property damage,
personal injury or death.

Use only the power supply voltage shown

on the motor/cabinet nameplate.

Do not install or service the air cooler

during rain, high wind or severe weather
conditions.
