QUICK SETUP
Plug into appropriate outlet
Fill the tank, then turn on the pump switch and the fan
For setup, Kuul ComfortTM evaporative media should
appear wet before starting the fan. Check the water
gauge to monitor water level in tank. The water
adjustment valve on each portable evaporative cooler
is set at max ow. However, ensure the knob is turned
completely to the right before use. Turn to the left to
increase water ow. If entrainment occurs - water is
spitting from the front of the product - use the valve to
decrease the water ow until entrainment ceases.

5Your Portacool portable evaporative cooler is meant to
be used in an open-air environment, such as a patio.
If you plan to use your evaporative cooler in a more
closed environment – such as a garage, sunroom or
barn – you must provide adequate ambient airow to
ensure your evaporative cooler works at its highest
efciency. When using in a semi-closed environment,
be sure to leave a door or window open to allow for the
proper amount of airow.

Ensure proper airflow is available
*Maximum water pressure 50 psi/345 kPa

To reduce the risk of electric shock, re or injury:
• Do not operate any evaporative cooler with a damaged cord
or plug.
• Do not run power cord under carpeting or cover with
throwrugs, runners or similar coverings. Arrange power cord
away from trafc areas to avoid tripping hazards.
• Read the evaporative cooler’s instructions, owner’s manual
and labels thoroughly before use.

functioning properly.
• Remove the plug from the electrical receptacle by pulling on
the plug, not the power cord.
• Operation near open flames or sparks is not recommended.
• If operating near open flame or sparks, ensure the pump
is continuously running in order to saturate and wet Kuul
evaporative media.
• When cleaning your evaporative cooler, ensure water does
not get into the motor or electrical system to prevent
damage.
• The use of extension cords with your evaporative cooler is
not recommended. However, if the owner determines that
his or her circumstance or intended use requires the use of
an extension cord, the following requirements must be met:
- Extension cord must be 14 gauge or greater;
- Extension cord must not exceed 50 (15.24 meters)
feet in length; and
- Extension cord must be properly grounded.

GFCI
The Portacool Cyclone™ series utilizes a GFCI (Grounded Fault Circuit Interrupter) to help protect users against ground electrical
faults, which prevent some fire and electrical shock hazards. These devices are intended to trip at very low leakage currents.
Portacool Cyclone models PACCY160, PACCY140, PACCY130, PACCY120 and PACCY110 use a GFCI, which is built into the power
cord. The GFCI on these models will automatically reset when the evaporative cooler is plugged into an electrical outlet.
If the GFCI is tripped and a simple “reset” will not work, please contact the Portacool Customer Service at [phone] or
[phone] for more troubleshooting information.

WLI
WATER LEVEL INDICATOR / PUMP SHUTOFF
A water level indicator with integral shutoff gives a visual indication of the water level in the evaporative cooler and will shut off the
pump once the water reaches a certain threshold. When this occurs, a red light on the control panel will illuminate to draw attention
to the low water level condition and alert the user that the pump has shut off. This light may cycle on and off for a few minutes
to draw attention to the low water condition as it tries to exhaust the remaining water. In order to restart the pump and reset the
light, water must be added to the tank of the evaporative cooler.
Portacool Cyclone™ portable evaporative coolers must be operated on a level surface. If the product is not completely level, there
may be some discrepancy in the readings on your WLI. Please note the pump will shut off when there is not sufficient water.
