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-efficiency portable evaporative
cooler.
2.0 Unpacking your COOL-SPACE®unit
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
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. If you have
purchased the optional portable water tank, use a standard garden hose (not provided) to
connect the tank to the cooler.

2
3.2 Connecting the electrical supply
The COOL-SPACE®unit should be plugged into a fused or circuit breaker protected 20 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 20 amp, 120 volt, 60 Hz circuit.
Table 1 shows the amperage requirements for the specific models. If an extension cord is
required, refer to Table 2 for the proper 3-conductor heavy-duty cord required.
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 inefficient motor operation and premature motor failure, WHICH WILL VOID
THE WARRANTY.

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 flow: 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 effectiveness, 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 COOL-SPACE®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 flow. 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, open
the water supply valve and the unit will fill with water. The float valve will shut off the water flow
when the sump is full.
4.2 Starting the fan
Set the fan switch to the “ON” position and adjust speed to your comfort level.

4
4.3 Starting the pump and adjusting the water flow
DO NOT flood the pads with water, keep them moist. New pads will take a few days before they
become completely saturated. It is normal to have several dry streaks on the face of the pads
about 1 to 2 inches wide. If the streaks are larger adjust the flow control knob to allow more water
to flow onto the pads. NOTE: New pads may also emanate an odor under initial operating
conditions from the resin used to construct the media. Flush the pads by running the pump
without the fan running for at least 12 hours; overnight is best. Empty the sump and refill. Repeat
if odor still exists.
NOTE: Run fan while adjusting the water flow.
Once the sump is full, the pump switch may be turned to the ‘ON’ position. The flow control
knob will need to be adjusted on initial start-up. It is located at the side of the unit; it controls
the volume of water that is delivered to the top of the cooling pads.
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
Pump is equipped with a LOW WATER CUT OFF which may take up to 5 minutes to reset each
time.
5.0 Maintenance and storage
ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD
Disconnect the power supply before performing any service or maintenance on the unit. 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 (4) bolts connecting the pad retainer bar (pad-side) from the housing.
2. Starting with one of the center pads, tilt pads from the top; lift out of the unit.
Note: Reinstall pads correctly according to the markings on the pads.
An instructional video for removing the cooling media can be found at www.cool-space.com

5
5.2 Daily maintenance
When shutting down the COOL-SPACE®unit at the end of each workday, the pump should be
turned off approximately 15 minutes before the fan is turned off. This will allow the pads to drain
and dry out. This simple guideline will ensure long and efficient pad life as well as help to
control mildew and bacteria growth.
5.3 Periodic maintenance
ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD
Disconnect the power supply before performing any service or maintenance on the unit. Failure
to do so may result in serious injury or death.
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 filtering agent and remove dust and
other particles from the incoming air stream. These particles will flow into the sump and collect
there. Also, impurities in the water will collect in the sump. Maintenance tablets available at
www.cool-space.com.
Draining the Water Sump
1. Close the water flow valve and open the drain valve.
2. Run pump until it shuts off automatically. The sump will not be completely empty.
3. Turn unit off 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 efficiency, ensure that the cooling pads are
kept clean and dust-free. Dust and other particles have an adverse effect 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 based
products as it will cause the pads to deteriorate.
3. Drain sump using procedure described in section 5.3 and wipe dry
4. Store the COOL-SPACE® unit in a dry area and cover if possible to prevent dust build-
up. Covers for your unit can be found online at www.cool-space.com

6.0 Troubleshooting/Repair
6.1 Troubleshooting
ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD
Disconnect the power supply before performing any service or maintenance on the unit.
Failure to do so may result in serious injury or death.
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 define the associated problem, (e.g.
the pump is not running). Although this might seem a bit simplified, several things may cause
this particular problem. So while defining 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 define 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.
