INSTALLATION 1. Before you start, read all of the instructions. Installations may require that you adapt these instructionsto special requirements. On receiving your cooler, check for concealed shipping damage, and note any damage on the freight bill. Such damage is the responsibility of the freight carder, and any claims must be filed with them.
Step 2: Construct an angle iron or wood platformto provide a level mounting surface for the cooler. Typical roof platforms are shown in Figure 2 for down discharge coolers and Figure 3 for horizontal discharge coolers. Measure cooler, or find size from catalog to determine size of platform. Platform must be located.so cooler discharge opening will line up with duct work.
step 2. Construct a platform, either from the ground or fastened to the building wall, to provide a level mounting surface for the cooler. A typical mounting platform is shown in Figure 5. Measure cooler orflnd size from catalog to determine size of platform and position of duct opening in wall.

Step Connect 1/4" O.D. water tubing to cold water supply, Either an adapter faucet or a saddle valve can be used for connection to the water supply line. Connect electrical conduit to junction box assembly located in corner of cooler top.

3. Check current draw of blower motor. A tong type ammeter is usually the most convenient method of m_asuring. Be sure motor current is not greater than name plate full load rating at the supply voltage used. If motor current is too high, the motor pulley can be adjusted to slow the blower...
SERVICE UNIT MAINTENANCE WATER CONTROL: Coolers are controlled manually by linevalve. Turn valve on untilwater flows freely from all water distributortubes and in sufficient quantity to thoroughly soak pads. Before turning on motor, let water run a few minutes to remove dust from pads and prevent delivery of untreated air.

UNIT MAINTENANCE (CONT.) WATER CONTROL: The overflow standpipe screwed into drain bushing forms a water reser- voir of the cooler bottom. The floating valve regulates water supply into cooler reservoir. The depth of water is regulated by loosening the float adjustment screw and raisingor lowering float until water level remains approximately 2 1/2 deep.
PAD REPLACEMENT: 1. With Iouvered panel lying on flat surface, wire retainer face up, grasp retainer in center and pull upward, thus bowing retainer, at the same time pulling out ends of wire from underneath flange of Iouvered panel. 2. Clean Iouvered panels, if necessary. 3.
