1) Disconnect the cooler hose from the vest.
2) Remove the lid from the inner container.
3) Switch the pump ON.
4) Press in on the tip of the male connector on the cooler hose with just the tip of your
finger or fingernail to let the water stream out.
5) Leave an inch or more of water in the bottom of the cooler for circulation when refilling
with ice.
CLEANING
Add one teaspoon of chlorine bleach to two quarts of water and circulate through the cooler
and vest before end-of-season storage and/or periodically to prevent build-up of potentially
harmful micro-organisms.
HOW TO DETERMINE YOUR CORRECT VEST SIZE
It's important to get the right size vest so it fits you properly and stays in place during all your work &
play activities.
To determine your correct size, you need to make a measurement of your Torso Length. Do not use
your T-shirt size as your primary guide in selecting your vest size.
Measure from the boney or protruding bump on the top of your shoulder (the end of your clavicle, also
known as the AC Joint) to the top of your pants at the center of your body, as shown in the figure
below:
Be sure to follow these instructions when making your Torso Length measurement:
1. Have someone else measure you - Attempting to do this by yourself
may cause significant errors in the result.
2. Wear the type of pants or shorts that you plan to use with the vest,
and wear them at the height that is "normal" for you. For example, you
may wear work pants with a belt at a different height than sports shorts
with an elastic waist band.
3. Don't suck in your stomach; doing so may result in a Torso Length
measurement that is too short, possibly causing you to order a vest that
is too small for you.
4 Use either a fabric (tailor's) tape measure or a piece of string that
doesn't stretch. Don't use a metal tape measure; doing so may result in
a Torso Length measurement that is too long, possibly causing you to
order a vest that is too large for you.
5. Take the measurement on both sides of your body to ensure that the
location at the top of your pants is centered. If the two measurements
are not equal, you may not be standing straight or measuring to the
center of your body at the top of your pants. To correct this, either try again or average the two
measurements.
