Cleaning Water Pump & Hose
CAUTION:
Disconnect all electrical power to the cooler
before attempting to install, open, or service your cooler.
CAUTION
: Do not allow pump to fall over and become
submerged; water will damage pump motor.
Clean water pump and hose assembly as follows:
Unplug pump cord, remove
mounting bracket screw and
remove pump from cooler. Shake
gently to remove water.
To prevent breakage, carefully
release the snap-out impeller
cover plate and remove cover
plate from the pump body.
Using a mild detergent solution and a
soft cloth, clean deposits from screen,
around impeller and cover plate. Spin
impeller to dislodge any remaining
foreign material.
Remove any foreign material in the hose adapter
(between the pump and hose), or between the hose
and the water distributor assembly.
Rinse and reinstall impeller cover plate.
Reinstall pump and reconnect pump cord.
Draining
Drain the cooler for cleaning or at the end of the season as follows:
Unplug cooler power supply cord from wall receptacle.
Turn off water supply and remove pad frames.
Connect a drain hose to the drain fitting on the bottom of the
reservoir, if not already connected to drain line.
Remove overflow standpipe from the drain fitting.
Drain and clean reservoir. Remove any remaining water with
a rag or sponge.
Touch-Up
The hardness, adhesion and smoothness of the internal and external
finish on your cooler makes it extremely unlikely that scratches or
chipping will occur. In the event that finish damage does occur, it
should be promptly repaired by the following procedures:
1.
Sand the area around bare metal spots.
2.
Prime and paint with a quality paint.
Do not use asphalt type cooler undercoat material in water
reservoir. Undercoat will break free, clogging the pump and
water distributor.
Lubrication
The blower and pump motor bearings used in this cooler are
permanently sealed and do not require lubrication.
Changing Cooler Pads
CAUTION:
Disconnect all electrical power to the cooler
before attempting to install, open, or service your cooler.
Your cooler pads should be changed at least twice a year... at the
beginning of and midway through a season . However, your pads may
need to be changed more frequently, depending on local air and water
conditions. For instance, in areas where mineral content of the water
is high, deposits may build up in the cooler pads, restricting airflow.
Replace pads as follows:
Remove pad assembly from cabinet.
Remove pad retainers from frame, using caution as retainers can
spring back. Carefully remove all aspen from retainers. Remove
and discard old pads.
Using a mild detergent, wash dirt and scale from pad frames and
rinse with fresh water. Wire brushing is not recommended. If finish
is damaged or rusting is noted, repair area as noted in the "Touch-
Up" section.
Lay new pad in frame, starting at trough end, making sure pad is
snug against trough and outer edges with no air spaces. Pad must
completely fill frame (no gaps) or hot air may enter building.
Pad thickness should be
uniform across the frame.
Replace pad retainers and
lock under edge of frame.
Sharp points must be buried
into pad (they hold pad in
place and prevent sagging).
Pre-soak pads and check for air gaps along
edges, reinstall pad frames into unit.
Winter Shut Down:
- 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 cooler
and the water supply so it does not freeze.
- Disconnect power from cooler during extended periods of non-use.
REPLACEMENT PARTS
When ordering replacement parts, always refer to the serial and
model number of your cooler. Use the part numbers listed in the
accompanying parts list, as illustrated in the diagrams for your model.
