Owner's Manual

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. The casters should also be locked to prevent the evaporative cooler from moving.
3) If placed near a wall or other obstruction, position the evaporative cooler a minimum of 3 feet (0.9 meters) from the wall or
obstruction with evaporative media facing the wall. This allows the unrestricted flow of warm air to the KUUL

side of the evaporative cooler. When using multiple evaporative coolers in close proximity, be sure to aim each evaporative cooler
so the air flows complement each other to achieve maximum cooling capacity.
STARTING THE PUMP AND ADJUSTING THE WATER FLOW
Once the tank is full of water, moving the pump switch to the “ON” position on the control panel 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 evaporative
media requires a large amount of water for proper wetting.
New KUUL evaporative media will require an initial ‘breaking-in’ period. This period is required for the media to begin readily absorbing water. It
may require up to a week to achieve maximum efficiency.
It is important to ensure that the water flow to the evaporative media is properly adjusted when first starting the water flow in the evaporative
cooler. Increasing the flow using the water adjustment valve (see Quick Setup in this manual) makes this adjustment. Proper water adjustment
should leave the evaporative media saturated with water, but not flooded. Evaporative m edia should appear wet. When properly adjusted, one
or two dry streaks will appear across surface of the KUUL evaporative media.
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 KUUL evaporative media to dry.
STARTING THE PORTACOOL EVAPORATIVE COOLER
Start the fan by turning the fan switch to the desired speed on the control panel. Before starting, make sure casters are in
locked position.
