3) If placed near a wall or other obstruction, position the product a minimum of 3 feet (0.9 meters) from the wall or obstruction with pads facing the wall. This

allows the unrestricted flow of warm air to the cooling pad side of the product. When using multiple products in close proximity, be sure to aim the product so the

air flows complement each other to achieve maximum cooling capacity.

Once the water tank is full, moving the pump switch to the “ON” position will turn on the pump. When initially turning on the pump, the level in the water tank will drop suddenly

and restart the flow of supply water. This is a normal condition, as the cooling pads reTuire a large amount of water for proper wetting.

When the

Portacool evaporative cooler

is new, the new pads will reTuire an initial Ҋbreaking-inҋ period. This period is reTuired for the pads to begin readily absorbing water. It

may reTuire up to a week to achieve maximum efficiency.

It is important to ensure that the spray bar is properly adjusted when first starting the water flow in the Portacool evaporative cooler. Increasing the flow using the water flow valve

(see Quick Setup on page 2) makes this adjustment. Proper water adjustment should leave the pads saturated with water, but not flooded. Pads should appear wet. However,

cascading amounts of water can actually reduce cooling efficiency. Proper adjustment will prevent problems and increase cooling capacity. When properly adjusted, one or two dry

streaks will appear across the pads.

When turning the evaporative cooler off at the end of the day or week, the pump should be turned off about 15 minutes before the fan to allow the cooling pads to dry. This will

increase the life of the pads.

Start the fan by turning the fan switch to the ҊONҋ position. Step slowly through the speeds allowing the fan to obtain its full speed at the LOW speed before

going to HIGH.
