Cooling pads that have accumulated build-up will impede cooling
performance.
2. To operate effectively, position the unit in front of an open door or
window. Ensure the unit is placed on a flat, level surface with the
casters in the locked position.
3. Open another door or window to provide proper ventilation for the unit.
MANUAL FILL
1. Depress the Fill Door located on the front of the unit below the louvers
(the Fill Door features a spring lock, and will release when pressed).
2. Fill the Water Tank using a hose or bucket. Monitor water level using
the Fill Gauge.
3. Press the Fill Door closed (the spring lock with re-engage).
AUTOMATIC FILL CONNECTION
NOTE: This unit features a float valve and automatic shut-off function.
This allows the unit to remain connected to an open water source for a
continuous flow of water. The operator may also fill the Water Tank to
capacity (or desired level) prior to running the unit, and then close the
water source.
1. Attach the provided Pigtail Adapter to the Water Inlet.
2. Connect one end of the provided Coil Hose to the Pigtail Adapter.

1. Plug the unit into a grounded 110-120V AC outlet.
NOTE: This Evaporative Cooler is equipped with a UL Ground Fault Circuit
Interrupter (GFCI) Plug. This UL GFCI Plug is designed to interrupt power
to the unit if current follows an unintended path. This feature is a safety
measure to reduce risk of electric shock to the operator and electrical
damage to the Evaporative Cooler. If the circuit is tripped, press the Reset
Button located on the plug head. If the Reset Button will not engage and
power is not restored, discontinue use, see the troubleshooting section for
further instruction.
2. Open the water source to fill the Water Tank. Monitor water level using

WARNING: Water Inlet pressure should not exceed 50 PSI. Higher
pressure may lead to product failure and property damage.
3. Switch the Power to ON.
4. Switch the Pump to ON. Allow to run for 2-3 minutes to saturate the
Cooling Pads with water.
NOTE: The pump will automatically shut-off when the water level is low.
5. Switch the Fan to the first speed setting. Allow to run at the first speed
setting for 2-3 minutes. Increase the speed of the fan to the desired
setting: Off, Low, Medium and High.
6. To oscillate airflow, switch the Swing Setting to ON.
SHUTDOWN INSTRUCTIONS
1. Close the water source.
2. After the Water Tank has emptied, switch the Pump to OFF.
