g) Refer to section “h” in previous section for fitting the vest, head cap, wrap,
blanket, seat, or bladder.
h) Plug in the Chiller power cord and turn the Chiller on. See Chiller label for proper
voltage.
i)
Connect the transformer power supply into the cooling reservoir and then plug
into a wall outlet. See power supply label for proper voltage.
j)
Flip the cooling reservoir power switches to the “On” position.
k) Water will be circulating through the Chiller and the garment as follows:
• Water will be circulating from the cooling reservoir to the chiller and back to the
cooling reservoir. You can see this flow by slightly raising the cooling reservoir lid.
• Water will be circulating from the cooling reservoir to the vest, head cap, wrap,
blanket, seat, or bladder and back to the cooling reservoir. Slightly raise the
cooling reservoir lid and ensure there is water flowing through the top return flow
tube to the cooling reservoir from the vest, head cap, wrap, blanket, seat, or
bladder.
l)
After all components have been filled and run with water, check the reservoir to
assure the water level is well above the pump. Add additional water if necessary.
m) Set the Chiller temperature: Hold down the “Set” button for 5 seconds. The Chiller will
beep and the display screen will flash. Once it does, use the “up” and “down” arrows
to select the desired temperature between 40 degrees F and 70 degrees F. Then
press the set button again. The screen will switch back to display the current water
temperature. To help the cooling process, add ice to the water in the cooling
reservoir.
Note: Please read the instructions in this manual and included Chiller
instructions for Care & Maintenance, Troubleshooting, Operating Instructions,
Cautions and Warnings.
Ending Session
a) Unplug all components from the power source and disconnect the vest, head cap,
wrap, blanket, seat, or bladder and tubing.
b) Disconnect the Chiller from the cooling reservoir if a chiller system was
purchased. Follow Chiller instructions.
c) To empty the cooling reservoir use
the Drain Accessory which is located on
a clip on the inside of the cooling
reservoir lid. Connect the drain accessory to the female coupling on the end of
the tubing coming from the cooling reservoir, placing the open end of the tubing
in a sink or area where water may be drained without incident/injury. Run the
system until the rate of draining water slows significantly. Note: Drain Accessory
will not drain all water from the system. If pump is left running too long without
water circulation, the motor may burn out.
d) Flip the power switch to the “Off” position and pour out the remaining 1-2 inches
of water. Empty the reservoir and wipe out after each use .
e)
Tabbed couplings
have a metal or plastic tab on the female side, depress this tab
and gently pull the couplings apart.
Breakaway couplings
are simply pulled apart.
