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. 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 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 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 inletside of the unit (pad side) requires a constant, uninterrupted supply
of fresh air for maximum performance.Adistance 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 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, turn the water supply
valve on 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
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 floor -for at least 12 hours. This will ensure the best efficiency 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 flushed
1. Fill reservoir with water
2. Turn on fan
3. Adjust water flow with Flow Control Valve until water streams over pads
Do not flood 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 flow to allow more water.
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.

4.4 Intuitive Control Panel Operation
The BLIZZARD-50 comes equipped with an intuitive control panel.

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 bolts connecting the pad retainer bar (pad-side) from the housing.
2. Remove top pads on CS6-36 and CS6-50 units.
3. 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
When shutting down the COOL-SPACE unit at the end of eachuse,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. To avoid disfiguring the housing the unit should be drained after every
use. These simple guidelines will ensure long and efficient pad life as well as help to control
mildew and bacteria growth, and unit longevity.
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. 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 flow 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 off pump.
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.

6
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 usingprocedure described in section 5.3 and wipe dry
4. Store the COOL-SPACE unit in a dry area. Cover if possible to prevent dust build-up.
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.
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.
