II. SETUP A. Unpacking the PORT-A-COOL® unit. PORT-A-COOL® units are shipped completely assembled. The PAC2K482S, PAC2K361S, PAC2K363S, PAC2K36HPVS, PAC2K24HPVS, PAC3SVT, PACJS1600, PACJS2400, PAC2KCYC01 and PAC2KCYC01A models ship on a plastic pallet with a cover box strapped over the unit. Cut the straps and remove the box by lifting it over the unit.
Locate the brass hose adapter on the side of the PORT-A-COOL® unit (all models except PAC163SVT) near the water adjustment and drain valves. Verify that the hose washer is in position and in good condition. Attach a standard garden hose to the brass hose adapter and tighten to preclude leaks.
The PORT-A-COOL® unit creates a fan-shaped air pattern that disburses the air over a large area. This pattern may be disturbed or broken up by obstacles such as shelves, work benches, etc. It is important to insure that a clean, unbroken path for the air from the unit is provided to the maximum extent possible.
Iv. MAINTENANCE & STORAGE Very little maintenance is required on the PORT-A-COOL® unit. Cleanliness is the most important part of a maintenance program. Keeping the unit clean will do more than any other single item to keep your unit in peak operating condition. The rugged, corrosion-resistant construction of the unit and industrial grade components ensure low maintenance characteristics.

All transportation charges on parts submitted for replacement or repair under this warranty must be borne by the purchaser.

Ix. FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS Q. WHAT ASSEMBLY IS REQUIRED? A: None. PORT-A-COOL® units are ready to use right out of the box. Q. HOW DO I PREPARE MY PORT-A-COOL® UNIT FOR STORAGE? A Drain the unit, dry out the pads and place the unit, preferably covered, in a dry place for the winter season.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (continued) Q. WHAT IS THE BEST ENVIRONMENT FOR THE PORT-A-COOL® UNIT TO PRODUCE THE MOST COOL AIR? A: For optimum performance, the temperature should be 85 degrees F or higher and the relative humidity should be below 75%. However, PORT-A-COOL® units will reduce the temperature in almost any environment, making it more pleasant.
