INTRODUCTION
Your Shop Blaster evaporative air cooler was thoroughly tested

instructions may damage your cooler, impair its operation, and/or
void the warranty.
Read it carefully.
PREPARATION
Unpacking the unit
Remove the pad frame by lifting up and pulling outwards. The oat
kit bag is located in the cooler bottom pan. Remove the oat kit
bag from the cabinet. Float kit contains the following items:
1. Float valve assembly
2. Float bracket
3. Garden hose adapter
4. Overow stand pipe
5. Drain Bushing Assembly
SET UP FOR USE
The Shop Blaster evaporative cooler may be lled manually with
the ll door or automatically with the oat valve and garden hose
adapter.
To Install oat valve and hose adapter. Attach the oat valve to the
cabinet as shown in gure 2. The garden hose adapter attaches to
the brass inlet tting on the oat valve (See gure 2). NOTE: Verify
that the hose washers are correctly in place before use.
Next install the overow stand pipe and drain bushing. Attach the
stand pipe, drain bushing, and washer in the hole in the drain pan
in the order shown in gure 3. NOTE: Verify that the washer is
correctly in place before use.
Water connection and oat adjustment
Move cooler to desired location (must be a level area for proper
operation of the cooler).
1. Connect water supply using a commercial grade water hose (not
supplied with cooler, obtained separately) to the adapter on the
oat valve and turn water on. CAUTION: water inlet pressure
should be limited to a maximum of 65 PSI to avoid rupturing the
water hose. If pressure exceeds this valve, an inline pressure
regulator should be installed (obtainable from a local plumbing or
hardware store).
2. Check that all connections are tight by visually inspecting hose,
oat valve, etc. for leakage.
3. Set oat valve for a water depth of 2.5". The oat is adjusted by
lightly bending the oat rod.
4. Do not insert garden hose into manual ll door; water may harm
the pump and void the warranty.
