INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing our product. We trust it will give you long and trouble
free service.
The cooler is a high-tech product, showing simplicity and outstanding reliability.
Its working principle is that water evaporation uses up the surrounding heat and
causes the temperature to cool down.
When water is continuously distributed onto the cooling pad surface, the air being
drawn through the pad causes the water to evaporate, making the air cool and fresh.
The circulating water moves down to the reservoir, where it is again pumped up
through the cooling pads. If the hose option is being used (supplied as standard), a
float valve keeps the reservoir full continuously. If filled manually, the reservoir
tank ensures hours of uninterrupted operation. There is a digital level indicator to
quickly check the amount of water remaining.
APPLICATIONS
This cooler is currently being used in many different industries and applications
It is ideally suited to garages, workshops, outdoor events, large shops, animal
husbandry and recreational facilities.

IMPORTANT REMINDERS
Please read the manual carefully before operating the cooler.
A) Operating conditions:
1- Temperature: 18°C to 45°C; Water Temperature: < 45°C.
2- Power supply must not exceed the required voltage (+/-) 5%.
3- Air supply must be largely free of dust or extra cleaning is required.
B) Protect the power cable from vehicles or foot traffic. Connection to incorrect electric
voltage, or faulty installation, will cause danger of electric shock.
C) If the product malfunctions at startup, please disconnect from electric power
immediately and refer to dealer for service.
D) Other tips for cooler use:
1- Keep doors and windows open to allow fresh air to enter, and treated air to exit, when
cooler is operating.
2- Flashing red light on the control panel means water level in reservoir is low.
3- Rinse the reservoir with fresh water and clean prior to use after a period where the
cooler has not been in operation.
4- Take care when moving the cooler, especially when it is full of water. Pushing too
hard will cause the cooler to overbalance and tip over, which may cause injury and
will damage the cooler.
5- Only use cooler on level ground.
6- To prevent build up of algae and other biological organisms in the reservoir, regularly
add chlorine/bromine tablets as per tablet manufacturer recommendation for
evaporative cooler reservoirs.
7- New cooling pads can expel mild odour and may require several hour of operation
and water exchanged for fresh water.
8- Dust and dirt can stick to the paper cooling pads. It is recommended to periodically
remove dry cooling pads and gently rinse thoroughly to clean. Allow to dry before re-
fitting. As Cooling pads become older it is recommended to replace to improve
efficiency.

MAINTENANCE
FOR BEST RESULTS AND LONG TERM OPERATION REGULAR
MAINTENANCE IS ESSENTIAL.
To ensure the cooler delivers fresh and clean air, regularly change the
water when dirty, and clean both the dust filter and the cooling pad.
1) To access the filter pads disconnect the INLET PROTECTIVE GRILL at
the back of the cooler by unscrewing the screws on the grill. Lift the grill
and lift out. Remove main cooling pad from grill. To replace the pad, slide
back into grill and replace. Side cooling pads can be accessed when the
rear grill has been removed.
2) Clean the pad from the inner-side to out-side of pad (inner side is towards
motor). Never use any liquid detergent. Never use pressurized water, as it
may cause damage to the pad.
3) Unscrew the drainage lid to let dirty water flow out, then clean the water
tank thoroughly with a soft cloth. Wash off dirt on the water sensor, water
pump and the float valve. Rinse thoroughly.
4) Use mild soap and soft clean cloth when cleaning the cooler casing. Do not
use any caustic chemical detergent that may cause damage to the surface of
the cooler.
5）To prevent buildup of algae and biological organisms in the reservoir,
regularly add chlorine/bromine tablets as per tablet manufacturer
recommendation for evaporative cooler reservoirs.
