EVAPORATIVE COOLING
Evaporative cooling is nature’s way of cooling. When air is
moved over a wet surface, water is evaporated and heat is
absorbed. When stepping out of a swimming pool with the
wind blowing, evaporative cooling makes you feel cool, even
though the air may be warm. The human body itself is cooled
primarily by the evaporation of perspiration.
This unit works on the same principle. Air is drawn across
wet filter pads where the air is cooled by evaporation and
then circulated throughout the building. It is this combination
of cooled air and the movement of air over the skin which
makes it feel cool.

SAFETY RULES
1. Read these instructions carefully.
2. Electrical hook up should be done by a qualified electrician,
so that all electrical wiring will conform to your local standards.
3. Unit must be in the OFF POSITION and UNPLUGGED from
power receptacle when installing or performing any maintenance.
4. This cooler will run on 120 volt A.C., 60 Hz (cycle) current
only .
5. Motor and pump are grounded and have an automatic thermal overload switch which will shut motor off when it
overheats. The motor will restart automatically when it
cools down.
Unlike refrigeration systems which recirculate the air, an
evaporative cooler continually brings in fresh air while
exhausting old air. You are completely replacing the air every
2 to 4 minutes by opening windows or doors or a combination
of both. The air is always fresh, not stale, laden with smoke
and odors as happens with refrigerated air conditioning.

6. Pump receptacle is for grounded evaporative cooler pump
only . Do not plug anything else into receptacle.
WARNING: T o reduce the risk of fire or electric shock,
do not use this fan with any “solid-state fan speed control device.”
OPERATION
COOLER INSTALLATION
• Pump setting. The rotary switch has 6 settings. The
“Pump” setting will operate the pump without the blower.
For best results turn the switch to “Pump” for a few minutes to wet the pads before operating the fan.
• High and low cool settings. The “High Cool” and “Low
Cool” settings operate both the pump and the blower.
Turn the unit to “Low Cool” when possible. This lower
speed allows the air to stay longer in the wet pads and
therefore increases it’s cooling efficiency.
• High and low vent settings. The “High Vent” and “Low
Vent” settings operate the blower without the pump. This
is useful on cool nights or at times when just a fan is
desired.
OPEN WINDOWS TO EXHAUST AIR
An often misunderstood concept of evaporative cooling is
the amount of air that should be exhausted. How much
should you open your windows? The fact is that most
people do not open their windows enough. The following
method will help you determine the amount to open your
windows.
CHAMPION AIR BALANCING METHOD
1. Take a piece of tissue paper and cut it lengthwise into 3
equal strips.
MOUNTING COOLER
CAUTION: Make sure that the mounting surface is
strong enough to support the operating weight of the
cooler when in use. (For operating weight, see
Specification Table.)
CAUTION: Never plug in cooler until installation is
complete and unit has been tested for rigidity.
• Lift out all removable louvered sides.
• Screw chain hooks into window facing. Position the
two chain hooks above the neck of the cooler a distance
equal to the width of the cooler apart (A-Fig. 1). Hook
one hanger chain in each hook and then one “S” hook in
the other end of each chain. NOTE: Chain hooks supplied with this mounting kit have wood screw threads for
wood walls. Concrete, brick walls or concrete blocks require sufficiently strong wing nuts or anchors with mating
hooks.

3. Open one window at least six inches wide in each room
that you want to cool.
4. Take the piece of tissue paper and put it up against the
screen of the open window furthest from the cooler discharge opening. Let go of it. It will do one of three
things.
IF It falls down.
THEN CLOSE all of the windows one inch and try step 4
again.
• Install window panel retainers. Place two panel retainer
strips onto bottom of neck flange and position to the width
of the window. Cut the strips to fit if necessary. These
strips hold the window fill-in panels (Fig. 2).

that bottom of neck flange rests on window sill and flange
(E-Fig. 1) is snug against edge of sill (H-Fig. 1). With cooler
in position, hook the “S” hooks into the holes of the top pan
near the back of the cooler (B-Fig. 1).
• Once you balance your home you can cool some areas
more than others by opening those windows more and
closing the others by the same amount. Repeat step 4 to
make sure your home is still air balanced.
• Break fill-in panels to fit. With cooler installed, as described above, measure for each window fill-in panel and
score with sharp knife and straight edge guide to desired
width. To break window fill-in panels, the panel should
be laid over the edge of a straight flat surface at the point
to be broken off. Apply pressure on the edge of the panel
that extends over the edge of the surface and break off
unwanted piece.

• Install fill-in panels. Place one window fill-in panel on
each side of grill and into panel retainer strip at bottom of
grill. Place the other panel retainer strips onto top of neck
flange and fill-in panels. Be sure the panels are snug up
against cooler neck.
• Place window behind retainer strip. Raise back of
cooler so that the window (D-Fig. 1) may be brought down
behind top of panel retainer strip (C-Fig. 1).
• Level Cooler. Adjust the chains to level the cooler.
• Adjust house legs. Pull out house legs so that the rub-
ber bumpers rest against house siding (F-Fig. 1). Tighten
screw in retaining collar. (G-Fig. 1).
• Adjust water amount. Your cooler is equipped with a
unique water metering valve (Fig. 6). The amount of water
delivered to the pads may be decreased by pressing the plastic
valve as the arrows indicate. If
INCREASE
water is splashing out of water
troughs, you may need to decrease the amount of water
delivery. Check to see that all
pads are saturated with water and
that there are no dry spots or
openings in the pads.

MAINTENANCE
CONNECTING WATER
• Install overflow assembly. Remove nut and place nipple
through the hole in the pan, with the rubber washer between the pan and the head of the drain nipple (Fig. 3).
Screw on nut and draw up tight
against bottom of pan. Insert
overflow pipe in nipple to retain
water. Overflow pipe may be removed to drain pan when
necessary. A garden hose may
be screwed on the drain nipple
to drain water away from your
unit.
• Connect water supply line. Install a sillcock and water
valve on faucet as shown by figure 4. Place the nut and
ferrule on the tubing and tighten the nut until water tight.

WARNING: Before doing any maintenance be sure
power is off and unit is unplugged. This is for your
safety.
SPRING START-UP
• Oil bearings. The blower bearings and cooler motor in
this unit should be oiled with a few drops of non-detergent 20/30 weight oil once each year. The motor does
not need oil if it has no oil lines for oiling. Motors that
have no oil lines are lifetime oiled at the factory and require no further oiling for the life of the unit.
CAUTION: Do not over oil. Over oiling can cause
motor burn out, due to excessive oil getting into
motor winding.
• Check belt tension. A 3
lb. force should deflect the
belt 3/4 inches (see Fig.
7). Readjust belt if
needed.
• Clean pump. Cleaning the pump is necessary once a
year at start-up. For your safety, turn unit off and unplug
from power receptacle. Remove the pump from the mount
slot. Remove the base of the pump as shown in Fig. 8.
Clean the pump and turn the impeller to ensure free operation. Remove the pump spout and check for any
blockage. After cleaning, reinstall the base onto the
pump. Reattach the pump to the mount in the cooler
using the plastic retainer to ensure that the pump will not
overturn. Do not forget to replace the spout and water
delivery tube onto the pump outlet.

• Drain water. Always drain all of the water out of the cooler
and water supply line when not in use for prolonged periods, and particularly at the end of the season. Keep the
water line disconnected from both the unit and water supply so that it does not freeze.
By following the operating, installation, and maintenance
suggestions as outlined, you can get many years of efficient
and satisfactory service from your cooler. In the event
additional information is desired, your dealer will be more
than glad to assist you in every possible way.
• Cover unit. To protect the life of the finish, a cover for the
WIRING DIAGRAM
unit is suggested in extended periods of non use.
• Cover grill. To help keep out cold air you can use the
plastic grill cover provided. Line up the grill cover with the
grill so that the tabs on the cover will slide over the center
section of the grill. Slide the grill cover onto the grill. The
tabs will snap into place. To remove, just pull the grill cover
