NOTE:
Do
NOT
use cooler cleaners, cooler treatments or
other chemical additives in this evaporative cooler. Use of
any additives or water treatment will void your warranty
and impair the life of the cooler.
Before starting any maintenance operation, read
thoroughly all operating and maintenance instructions and
observe all CAUTIONS and WARNINGS.
CAUTION:
Never wash your cooler cabinet with
a garden hose; water may harm motor and pump.
Motors damaged by water are NOT covered under
warranty.
All foreign materials, scale, salt deposits, lime, etc. can
and should be removed from bottom pan and other
components. Your cooler's long lasting finish can be
brought to like-new condition by using warm water and a
soft cloth.
NOTE:
Avoid using scouring pads, steel wool or wire
brushes, as these will damage the finish and encourage
CLEANING
CAUTION:
Disconnect all electrical power to the
cooler by removing the plug from the receptacle before
attempting to install, open, or service your cooler.
IMPORTANT: Before operating cooler at beginning
of each cooling season, turn cooler motor and pump
motor shafts by hand to make sure they turn freely.
Failure to do so may result in burning out motor.
Periodic inspection of your cooler will enhance the chance
for long, trouble-free service life. For maximum efficiency,
every two months during operation, or any time the
cooler is opened, the cooler should be inspected. Some
suggested items:
• Check for leaks
• Are there any dry spots on the media when cooler is in
operation?
• Are bolts, nuts and set screws snug?
• Are the bearings, etc. making unusual noises?
• Does the blower wheel turn freely?
• Is float level set correctly?
• Is water in the bottom pan clean?
MAINTENANCE & INSPECTION
CAUTION:
Do not allow pump to fall over and
become submerged; water will damage pump motor.
Clean water pump and hose assembly as follows:
1. Unplug power supply cord from wall receptacle, remove
pump mounting bracket screw and gently lift pump
from cooler. Shake gently to remove water.
2. To prevent breakage, carefully release the snap-out
impeller cover plate and remove cover plate from the
pump body.
3. Using a mild detergent solution and a soft cloth, clean
deposits from screen and around impeller to dislodge
any remaining foreign material.
4. Remove any foreign material in the hose adapter
(between the pump and hose), or between the hose and
water distributor assembly.
5. Rinse and reinstall impeller cover plate.
6. Reinstall pump and reconnect power cord.
CLEANING WATER PUMP
& HOSE
The hardness, adhesion and smoothness of the internal
and external finish on your cooler makes it extremely
unlikely that scratches or chipping will occur. In the event
that finish damage does occur, it
should be promptly repaired by the following procedures:
1. Sand the area around bare metal spots.
2. Prime and paint with a quality paint.
Do NOT use asphalt type cooler undercoat material in
water reservoir. Undercoat will break free, clogging the
pump and water distributor.
TOUCH-UP
Blower Motor and Pump Motor Bearings
The blower and pump motor bearings do not require
lubrication.
Cleaning or Replacing Media Pads
CAUTION: Disconnect all electrical power to the
cooler before attempting to install, open, or service
your cooler.
The condition of your cooler pads should be checked
at least once a year; at the beginning of the season is
best. However, your pads may need to be checked more
frequently, depending on local air and water conditions.
For instance, in areas where mineral content of the water
is high or the air is dusty, deposits may build up in the
cooler pads, restricting airflow.
