Framing Information - Chore-Time Turbo-Cool Installation & Operator's Instruction Manual

Figure 2 shows two options for installing the cooling pad relative to the tunnel
curtain and provides the required information for the Evaporative Cooling System
opening.
Notice the dimensional information included.
Frame the Pad opening using treated lumber.
1. Determine the location of the bottom stringer. See Figure 2, Item 3.
Note: The maximum slope of the opening is 1-1/2" (3.8 cm) from the inlet end to
the sump end. The sump end must be level or lower than the inlet end.
Use screws to secure the bottom stringer to the studs. The lower 2" x 6" (50 x 152
mm) Stringer must be capable of supporting 30 lbs/ft. (4.2 kg/m).
2. Snap a chalk line on the lower stringer at the locations specified in Figure 2,
Item 13. This chalk line will determine the location of the lag screws for the
Trough Supports.
3. Determine the location of the top stringer. See Figure 2, Item 8. The distance
between the top and bottom stringers should be approximately 1-1/2" (3.8 cm)
less than the height of the Evaporative Cooling Pads.
Example: for a 60" tall Evaporative Cooling Pad the distance between the stringers
would be 60" - (1-1/2") = 58-1/2".
Note: The slope (if any) of the top stringer must be the same as the bottom stringer.
4. Snap a chalk line on the top stringer at the locations specified in Figure 2 , Item
12. This chalk line will determine the location of the Splash Plate lower holes.
