GFCI/ELCI* The Portacool Jetstream™ series utilizes a GFCI (Grounded Fault Circuit Interrupter) or ELCI (Equipment Leakage 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.
GFCI/ELCI LLI * LIQUID LEVEL INDICATOR / PUMP SHUTOFF A liquid 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.
START UP PLACEMENT 1) Make sure there is a clear, unobstructed path in front of the evaporative cooler to provide maximum airflow. 2) If the evaporative cooler is positioned on a raised platform, ensure the platform is stable, well constructed, and will not allow the evaporative cooler to tip over and that it allows for the full weight of the evaporative cooler including a tank full of water. The cooler must be level and in the upright position.
MAINTENANCE While the rugged, corrosion-resistant construction ensures low maintenance will be required, keeping your evaporative cooler clean will ensure it stays in peak operating condition. DAILY MAINTENANCE The pump should be turned off approximately 15 minutes before the fan is turned off, which allows the Kuul® evaporative media to dry.
