Operation and Maintenance

UNIT PLACEMENT AND OTHER CONSIDERATIONS

The Pro-Kool ® unit(s) should be placed at one end of the building
and an appropriate exhaust fan should be at the opposite end to
pull the cool air from the Pro-Kool
air out of the building.
Try to get all the air flowing in the same direction. Do not direct
other fans against the Pro-Kool
Pro-Kool ® 's airflow and stop the cooling effect.
Obstructing the airflow from the Pro-Kool
the cooling effect.
Avoid using ceiling fans as they disrupt the airflow from the
Pro-Kool ® unit.
Use as many exhaust fans as possible to create a natural draft
through the building. This will enhance the Pro-Kool
performance.

UNPACKING AND INITIAL SETUP

The Pro-Kool ® 1HP Evaporative Cooler is shipped upright on a
®
pallet. The Pro-Kool is fully assembled and ready for service
except for thoroughly cleaning manufacturing dust from the
cooling pads before running it for the first time.
CAUTION Be careful when you move the unit. Avoid jarring or dropping the unit to prevent
damage to the bottom.
1. Cut the straps that wrap the unit.
2. Remove the shrink wrap.
3. Ensure the switch is OFF and the unit remains unplugged.
4. Remove the pad support plate from the back of the unit by
removing all the set screws.
5. Remove the cooling pads from the unit. Pull pad out and then
lift out of drain rail. With one pad out, the rest can be easily
removed in the same manner.
6. Inspect the entire unit for shipping damage.
7. Ensure the fan belt is attached to the motor and fan pulleys.
To ensure it is correct, press your finger on the belt about
halfway between each pulley. It should have about a half-inch
of play. If it is too loose, the V-belt will slap around while
running. If it is too tight, it will cause the pulley bearings to wear
and fail prematurely.
If you notice any damage to your unit, contact your dealer
immediately.
8. Thoroughly clean all four cooling pad sections using a garden hose.
Do not use cleaning fluids or other chemicals to clean the pads as they can cause foaming during
operation. Use only clean water. Refer to page 9 for approved cleaners.
9. Remove the drain cap from the underside and rinse with a hose to flush any manufacturing dust, etc. from the
unit.
10. Replace the drain cap.
11. Replace the pads.
12. Proceed to NORMAL SETUP.
