WATER CONNECTION
Note: Do not connect the water supply to any soft water applications.
SILLCOCK INSTALLATION
A steady water supply is required for the operation of this cooler. If water
source comes from an external water faucet, a sillcock and shutoff valve
will need to be purchased and installed.
1.
Install sillcock and water valve on faucet.
2.
Run ¼" plastic or copper tubing from the faucet to the unit.
3.
Install one end of tubing to water valve by placing nut and ferrule on
tubing and tightening the nut until water tight.
FLOAT VALVE INSTALLATION (Refer to illustration)
1.
Remove items 1, 2, 3, and 4 from fl oat.
2.
Insert fl oat body through hole in media shield and back post panel as
shown.
3.
Install washer (1) and nut (2). Tighten to keep fl oat from turning. Place
nut (4) and ferrule (3) on water supply line. Connect to fl oat fi tting and
tighten until water tight.
4.
Slide fl oat shield over fl oat body until it snaps into place.
Note: After installation is complete and water is turned on, the fl oat level will
need to be adjusted.
5.
Bend rod to adjust fl oat. Water level should be about 1 inch below the
top opening of the overfl ow pipe.
OVERFLOW INSTALLATION
1.
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.
2.
Screw nut onto nipple and draw up tight against bottom pan.
3.
Screw overfl ow pipe into nipple. This overfl ow pipe may be removed to drain pan
when necessary.
Note: A garden hose may be screwed onto the drain nipple to drain water away from the
unit.
SCALE BUILDUP PREVENTION
As water evaporates, minerals that were in the water will remain. Over time this
accumulation of minerals will cause scaling on the pads and in the reservoir. We
recommend the installation of either a bleed-off kit (included in unit) or a purge pump
(purchased separately) to help prevent scale build up and increase the life of the
unit. A purge pump will drain the pan every few hours of pump operation, to keep
fresh water in the unit. A bleed-off kit will continually bleed off a small portion of
water while the pump is running allowing fresh water to continually replace the old
stagnate water. Follow the instructions below for installing the bleed-off kit.
1.
Cut the pump hose and insert the barbed ends of the bleeder tee into each cut
end.
2.
Insert one end of the bleeder tubing onto the bleeder tee and run the other end
out of the cooler through the overfl ow pipe.
Note: A restrictor clamp is provided which, if desired, may be installed onto the
bleeder tubing to restrict the amount of water being bleed off. The amount of water
to bleed off depends on the quality of the water in your area. Start with 1-2 gal/hr
and increase if needed.
AMPERAGE DRAW AND BELT TENSION
CAUTION: No attempt should be made to completely install this unit without the aid of an electrician or
someone familiar with testing amperage draw. Failure to comply with these instructions may void your
warranty.
This unit is equipped with an adjustable motor drive pulley for adjusting the blower wheel speed to the proper loading for different
duct systems. It is important that the motor drive pulley is adjusted to correct size to ensure maximum air delivery without damage
to the motor. Be sure to follow these instructions carefully.
