This manual contains very important information. This information will
help ensure SAFETY and PREVENT EQUIPMENT PROBLEMS. Below are
important safety guidelines.
DANGER
WARNING
CAUTION
NOTICE
Aquafog (CoolAire) mobile
units are intended to
condition large volumes of
air using water or other
non-hazardous liquids at
air temperatures between
33ºF and 145ºF. Any other
use of this unit would
likely void the warranty
and any manufacturer’s
responsibilities.
THE COOLAIRE MIST CAN BE AUTOMATED WHEN USED
IN CONJUNCTION WITH A CONTROL. THE FAN MAY NOT
APPEAR POWERED BUT COULD SUDDENLY BEGIN HIGH-SPEED ROTATION AS A
FUNCTION OF THE PRESET CONTROL.
HIGH-SPEED ROTATION, NEVER OPERATE UNIT WITHOUT
THE HOUSING AND SAFETY GUARDS INSTALLED.
GROUND FAULT RECEPTACLES ARE STRONGLY
RECOMMENDED AND MAY BE REQUIRED BY LAW.
A WATER RESERVOIR (COOLAIR’S TANK) CAN BRING
THE RISK OF DROWNING. DROWNING ACCIDENTS CAN
BE PREVENTED WITH PROPER PRECAUTIONS, SUPERVISION AND KNOWLEDGE.
CHILDREN CAN DROWN IN LESS THAN ONE MINUTE. PERSONNEL WORKING WITH
COOLARIE MIST SHOULD BE PROPERLY TRAINED.
TABLE OF CONTENTS PRODUCT USE
SAFETY NOTIFICATIONS

Read operator’s manual carefully and thoroughly. Understand all safety
warnings and instructions before attempting operation of the unit.
DO NOT OPERATE THE PUMP DRY (WATER SUPPLY IS REQUIRED IN THE
SUMP). Avoid permanent damage to the unit’s sump pump. Turn off
“MIST” (pump switch) to operate the unit air only.
Follow all local electrical and safety codes as well as the United States
National Electrical Codes (NEC) and Occupational Safety and Health Act
(OSHA).
Keep children from playing with CoolAire Mist. Supervise nearby children
or blockade area to prevent children from accidentally falling into the
tank. Keep the lid installed.
Always operate CoolAire Mist with it's safety guards, housing and lid
securely in place. Use front wheel locks at all times.
Disconnect power before inspecting or servicing machine. CoolAire Mist
must be properly grounded as a precaution against possible electric
shock. Check for correct voltage supply.
Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges and moving parts. Replace
damaged cords immediately. Damaged cords increase the risk of electric
shock.
If using an extension cord. Use a heavy gauge 3 wire extension cord with
a molded three-prong plug rated for outdoors.
Keep hands and all objects from entering the path of the blade.
Use fresh water supplies. Do not use ammable liquids, caustic
materials, or corrosive materials with the CoolAire Mist.
When servicing CoolAire Mist, use only identical replacement parts and
follow instructions in the maintenance section of this manual. Use of
unauthorized parts or failure to follow maintenance instructions may
damage equipment or cause personal injury.

- Secure the front wheel locks.
- Install the carbon ber column and secure
(with thumb screw) at the bottom.
- Grab the two hand holds on the atomizing
fan head and lift atomizing fan head into
position allowing the solid (gray PVC) plug to
slip inside the carbon ber tube. Align the

After lling the tank with at least
5 gallons of water, lock the front
wheels and connect the power
cord. To turn ON, rotate the power
switch to ON position. For mist,
push on the mist switch. For
sweep, push on the sweep switch.
If the switch is turned to the auto-
shut-off mode, push the mode
START switch to activate. When
tank becomes nearly empty the
unit will shut down.
Sweep adjustments can be easily
made by removing the red thumb
screw, slide the sweep plate to a
different setting and re-install the
red thumb screw.

NOTICE! ALWAYS LOCK FRONT

ASSEMBLY OR SERVICE
Clean Tank - A slimy tank will create issues! The tank should be rinsed and washed
with mild soap regularly. Do not store or leave water in the tank when out of use.
Clean Sediment Around Pump - Periodically clean around the pump and check the
in-line strainer.
Inspect Blade Assembly - Clean the exterior of the blades about once a year or
whenever a lm of calcium or mineral deposits is visible. While cleaning, inspect for
irregularities or hairline cracks and replace as necessary.
Storage - Protect your CoolAire from winter damage. Expansion due to freezing can
burst ttings, pumps and solenoids. If storing unit in below freezing temperatures, be
sure to drain plumbing lines.

Issue Tips On What To Check
TROUBLESHOOTING
Check power supply. Turn power switch to ON position mode. Check for a
damaged/cut power cord. Check for loose wires inside junction boxes.
Make sure there is enough water to completely submerge the pump. The mist
switch needs to be activated showing a green light. Throttle the ow control
valve to maximum mist to prime out any air bubbles. Test Pump and check
plumbing lines.
Fine mist output is generally difcult to see without having a dark
background. Fine mist particles also evaporate quickly (within seconds) in
dry air. This is a good thing as this causes evaporative cooling to occur.
If motor smells, doesn’t start (with a direct power supply) or shaft will not
loosen up. The motor is bad and should be replaced.
Check pump’s output by disconnecting tubing, check pump’s sediment
screen. Then move up the plumbing lines looking for kinks or clogs.
Indicates a clogged ow restrictor tube. Remove, clean or replace.
Sump pumps can go bad if operated for lenghty periods of time out of water.
If the pump has little to no output ow. Replace as needed.
If there is a lot of calcium build-up near the end of your atomizing fan blades.
Remove and clean by soaking the blade assembly in bath of (CLR) calcium
dissolving solution.
Check the sweep switch, also check the oscillator motor.
This indicates a bad oat valve. Check, service or replace.
This mode requires water in the tank to activate the uid level switch. If still
not working, test the uid level switch and replace if needed.
If any deep scratches or dents occurs where the drain plug seals against the
tanks wall, this can cause leaking. Attempt to smooth the walls of the hole
with sandpaper. Check the plug for any damage or cracked seals.
If there is a persistent plumbing leak. Use both thread tape (rst) with some
pipe sealant on top of tape to ensure a leak-proof connection.
If motor makes squeaky noise, smells and gets excessively hot. These are
signs of a motor going bad. Replace motor early to avoid future issues.
Check power supply and power cord. Check inside control box for loose
connections. Consult an electrician or replace the control box assembly.
Turn off all other devices connected to the same circuit. If the breaker
continues to trip, the fan motor is probably bad and in need of repair.
Consult an electrician for professional evaluation.

WARNING! BEFORE
INSPECTION AND/OR SERVICE
DISCONNECT AND LOCK OUT
POWER SOURCE

SERVICE & REPAIR
Fan Motor/Venturi/Blade
If you need to replace the fan motor, fan blade
or pinned venturi. Use a 5/32” allen wrench to
remove the housing. The blade can be removed
using a 3/32” allen wrench and the venturi can
be removed using a #2 phillips screwdriver.
Pump Service/Replacement
Unscrew and clean the pump’s sediment lter
about twice a year. To replace the pump, un-wire
the pump from inside the control box. Disconnect
the 1/4” tubing and remove two 7/16” nuts to
lift the pump out along with the stainless steel
bracket. Re-attach components to the new pump
and install in reverse sequence.
Float Valve & Fluid Level Switch
If replacing either part. Make sure to use thread
tape in addition to pipe sealant to ensure a leak-
proof connection.
Oscillator
If replacing an oscillator motor or a major
component. It’s best to remove the entire
oscillator assembly and complete the task on a
work bench. To remove the assembly: Un-wire
the motor, remove the carbon ber column, and
unbolt the four 5/16-18 bolts underneath the
stainless steel base plate.
Strainer
Inspect and/or clean the in-line strainer a few
times a year. The clear cover unscrews counter-
clockwise (usually) by hand.
Service (peep hole)
If the atomizing fan head needs to be removed
from the tank. The fans plumbing connection is
accessible through the service (peep hole). This
service hole is also convenient for other plumbing
service procedures.
