3.0 SETUP
3.2 CONNECTING THE ELECTRICAL SUPPLY
IMPORTANT
The COOL-SPACE unit should be plugged into a fused or circuit breaker protected 15 amp, 120 volt, and 60 Hz circuit.
All models utilize standard 120-volt power supply. The unit should be plugged into a fused or circuit breaker protected
15 amp, 120 volt, 60 Hz circuit.
Table 1 shows the amperage requirements for the specic models. If an extension cord is required, refer to Table 2 for
the proper 3-conductor heavy-duty cord required.
!
CAUTION
Do not exceed the amperage ratings of the extension cord. Undersized extension cords result in excessive drops
in voltage, which cause the electric motors to generate excessive heat. This condition results in inecient motor
operation and premature motor failure, WHICH WILL VOID THE WARRANTY.

1.0 INTRODUCTION
COOL-SPACE is a patented and registered Trademark of Hale Industries, Inc. and manufactured in Indiana.
The COOL-SPACE unit is a compact, self-contained, high-eciency portable evaporative cooler.
2.0 UNPACKING YOUR COOLSPACE UNIT
IMPORTANT
Carefully examine the carton for damage before opening. If the carton is damaged notify the shipping company
immediately.
3.0 SETUP OF THE COOLSPACE UNIT
The COOL-SPACE unit is factory tested and ready to use. The unit should be placed on a level surface, and the casters
locked to prevent inadvertent movement. Follow instructions below to connect water and electrical supply.
3.1 CONNECTING THE WATER SUPPLY
!
CAUTION
Do not connect the COOL-SPACE unit to any water source where water pressure exceeds 120 psi. This will cause
permanent damage to the unit.
The COOL-SPACE unit comes equipped with a female garden hose water source connection. Attach the unit to a
standard garden hose outlet for a water source. It is not recommended that the unit be attached to any water source
with operating pressures above 120 psi. Use a standard garden hose (not provided) to connect the tank to the cooler.

Page 4Page 3
4.0 OPERATING PROCEDURES
There are 3 factors to consider when determining where to place the COOL-SPACE unit.
1. Fresh air supply: The inlet side of the unit (pad side) requires a constant, uninterrupted supply of fresh air for
maximum performance. A distance of 3 feet clear space to any obstructions at the rear or inlet side of the unit is
recommended.
2. Discharge air ow: The cool air discharged from the unit should be free of obstruction to allow the air to circulate
in order to maximize the cooling zone.
3. Ventilation: In order to operate at maximum eectiveness, it is helpful to have provisions to remove the air
discharged from the COOL-SPACE unit from the cooling area. This ensures that the COOL-SPACE unit does not
recirculate air that has already been through the evaporative cooling process.
The unit must be placed on a level surface to operate correctly. Units create an oval shaped air pattern. Obstacles such
as racks and workbenches may interfere with the air ow. An attempt should be made to locate the unit in such a
manner that interruption of the air pattern is held to a minimum. Multiple units may be required to cover larger areas.
4.1 FILLING THE UNIT WITH WATER
Once the COOL-SPACE unit has been connected to a water source as described in 3.1, turn the water supply valve on
and the unit will ll with water. The oat valve will shut o the water ow when the sump is full.
4.2 STARTING THE FAN
Set the fan switch to the “ON” position and adjust the speed to your preferred setting.
4.3 STARTING THE PUMP AND ADJUSTING THE WATER FLOW
The cooling media in your new unit will take some time to become completely saturated. During this time an odor may
emanate from them. Flush the pads with the Flow Control Valve as far open as possible - without spilling water onto
the oor - for at least 12 hours. This will ensure the best eciency of your COOL-SPACE unit. During this time, the smell
should also dissipate. For best results change the water in the reservoir frequently.
Once your pads are fully ushed
1. Fill reservoir with water
2. Turn on fan
3. Adjust water ow with Flow Control Valve until water streams over pads
Do not ood the pads with water. You should see several dry streaks on the face of the pads 1-2 in. wide. If dry
streaks grow wider, adjust ow to allow more water.
!
CAUTION
Prolonged use of hard water without proper water treatment will create mineral deposit build up causing the pump
to fail which is NOT COVERED BY WARRANTY
IMPORTANT
Pump is equipped with LOW WATER CUT OFF which may take up to 5 minutes to reset each time.

5.0 MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE
!
WARNING
ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD
Disconnect the power supply before performing any service or maintenance.
Failure to do so may result in serious injury or death.
5.1 REMOVING THE COOLING MEDIA TO ACCESS THE INSIDE OF THE UNIT
In order to perform any maintenance on internal components, the cooling pads must be removed to access the inside
of the unit.
1. Remove the bolts connecting the pad retainer bar (pad-side) from the housing.
2. Remove top pads on CS6-36 and CS6-50 units.
3. Starting with the center pad(s), tilt pads from the top; lift out of the unit.
NOTE: Reinstall pads correctly according to the markings on the pads.
5.2 DAILY MAINTENANCE
IMPORTANT
When shutting down the COOL-SPACE unit at the end of each use, the pump should be turned o approximately 15
minutes before the fan is turned o. This will allow the pads to drain and dry out. To avoid disguring the housing the
unit should be drained after every use. These simple guidelines will ensure long and ecient pad life as well as help to
control mildew and bacteria growth, and unit longevity.
5.3 PERIODIC MAINTENANCE
Depending on how often the COOL-SPACE unit operates, this procedure should be performed anywhere from every
week for heavy use to monthly for light use. Shut down the unit and drain the water sump. The cooling pads act as
a ltering agent and remove dust and other particles from the incoming air stream. These particles will ow into the
sump and collect there. Water impurities in the water will also collect in the sump. Maintenance tablets are available at
www.cool-space.com.
DRAINING THE WATER SUMP
1. Close the water ow valve and open the drain valve or remove drain plug located at bottom of reservoir.
2. Run pump until sump is dry then immediately shut o pump.
3. Turn unit o and disconnect the power supply.
4. Remove cooling pads, refer to section 5.1.
5. Clean out reservoir with either a towel or wet/dry vacuum.
6. Remove the water spray bar and its plug. Insure holes are free of debris.
7. Reinstall pads and pad retainer.
To keep the COOL-SPACE unit operating at peak eciency, ensure that the cooling pads are kept clean and dust-free.
Dust and other particles have an adverse eect on the media’s ability to introduce water into the air stream. If the pad
surface becomes dirty or dusty, clean with a soft brush and water.
5.4 STORAGE
1. Remove the pads, as described in section 5.1
2. Clean with a soft brush and water to remove dust and debris (never use bleach)
3. Drain sump using procedure described in section 5.3 and wipe dry
4. Store in a dry area and cover to prevent dust build-up. Covers can be found online at www.cool-space.com.
6.0 TROUBLESHOOTING/REPAIR
!
WARNING
ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD
Disconnect the power supply before performing any service or maintenance.
Failure to do so may result in serious injury or death.
6.1 TROUBLESHOOTING
The COOL-SPACE unit consists of three systems: the fan, water distribution and pump. It is important to determine
which system of the COOL-SPACE unit the problem is associated with. This may not always be obvious, in that certain
problems may be associated with more than one system.
When determining which system has a problem, you must dene the associated problem, (e.g. the pump is not
running). Although this might seem a bit simplied, several things may cause this particular problem. So while dening
the problem, a careful check of all systems should be made to fully understand the extent of the problem.
If you have a complete understanding of all of the systems of the COOL-SPACE unit and how they depend on each
other, it will be simple to dene and solve any problem.
NECESSARY TOOLS:
Although the COOL-SPACE unit is designed to be simple to maintain, it will be necessary to have some basic hand tools
(screwdrivers, pliers, adjustable wrenches, etc.) as well as a volt/ohm meter when troubleshooting the electrical system.
!
CAUTION
Please use caution when troubleshooting or repairing all electrical components. Be certain that all power is
disconnected from the COOL-SPACE unit before the cooling pads or fan guard are removed to gain access to the fan.
