THANK YOU!!
Thank you very much for selectin TPI Corporation’s self-
contained power mistin equipment for your comfort
conditionin needs. These products were en ineered with the most reliabl
e components and materials available
and are equipped with features to assure ease of mobility, use, and maintenance.
The cool air you will now enjoy when usin this mistin equipment is created throu h the process of evaporation.
Heat is required to chan e water from a liquid to a as or “water vapor”. TPI Corporation’s self-
contained power
mistin equipment creates a “fo ” by pumpin water at a very low flow rate throu h small nozzles. When
combined with the air added by a fan, this fo is rapidly
evaporated. The heat required to evaporate the fo is
extracted from the air causin a reduced air temperature. This cooler air is then distributed to people or animals
creatin a direct coolin effect.
The performance of your mistin system can be aff
ected by local conditions. For best results, it may be
necessary to experiment with the number of nozzles operatin to achieve the coolin performance you desire.
Thank you a ain and stay cool!

•
Never operate pump without water supply.
• Check for leaks. If there are any, turn pump off and hand ti hten leaky fittin s.
• Excessively hard (hi-solids) water can plu nozzles.
• A plu ed filter caused by poor quality water can restrict flow to pump causin permanent dama e.
• Never allow the “fo ” from the nozzles to come in contact with surfaces. This will cause condensation and water
will form on those surfaces. Redirect the fan to prevent this circumstance.

UP / OPERATION
1.
Always operate the Power Mister on a level
surface. In the event the un
it is tipped over or tilted
more than 35 de rees, a built-in tip-
over switch
will shut off power to the pump and fan. Power
will be restored when unit is placed in the upri ht
position.
2.
Fill cooler with clean fresh water (ice may be
added) each time mister
is used. Drain unused
water at the end of use period.
3.
Aim mister downwind for best results. If more than
one mister is used, arran e them in an arc around
the area to be misted.
4.
To ener ize, plu the GFCI safety plu into any
120 VAC 60 Hz rounded outlet.
Test GFCI per
instructions below. Turn on the two-
position
switch located on the top of the pump case. Turn to
either “Fan” (for air movement only) or “Fan /
Pump” (for air and mist).
5.
The mistin hub located in the center of the fan is
equipped with four
nozzles. The output volume of
water vapor can be reduced by replacin one or
two of the nozzles with the plu s provided.
6.
The unit will mist for approximately 5 hours on 10
allons of water.
GFCI SAFETY PLUG TEST
The GFCI plu mentioned above provides protection
from electric shock by examinin the product’s electrical
circuit for current leaka e. It must be tested before each
use to assure safe operation. Test as described below:
1. Plu into outlet –
the indicator will show if power is
available.
2. Press the test button – indicator will turn off.
3. Press reset button. Use product only if GFCI resets.
Do not use if above test fails.
