Maintenance - Champion WC 35 Instruction Manual

• Install window panel
retainers. Place two
panel retainer strips onto
bottom of neck flange
and position to the width
of the window. Cut the
strips to fit if necessary.
These strips hold the
window fill-in panels
(Fig. 3).
• Position cooler in window. Position neck of cooler so that
bottom of neck flange rests on window sill and flange (E-Fig. 2)
is snug against edge of sill (H-Fig. 2). With cooler in position,
hook the "S" hooks into the holes of the top pan near the back
of the cooler (B-Fig. 2).
• Break fill-in panels to fit. With cooler installed, as described
above, measure for each window fill-in panel and score with
sharp knife and straight edge guide to desired width. To break
window fill-in panels, the panel should be laid over the edge of
a straight flat surface at the point to be broken off. Apply
pressure on the edge of the panel that extends over the edge of
the surface and break off unwanted piece.
• Install fill-in panels. Place one window fill-in panel on each
side of grill and into panel retainer strip at bottom of grill.
Place the other panel retainer strips onto top of neck flange and
fill-in panels. Be sure the panels are snug up against cooler
neck.
• Place window behind retainer strip. Raise back of cooler so
that the window (D-Fig. 2) may be brought down behind top of
panel retainer strip (C-Fig. 2).
• Level Cooler. Adjust the chains to level the cooler.
• Adjust house legs. Pull out house legs so that the rubber
bumpers rest against house siding (F-Fig. 2). Tighten screw in
retaining collar. (G-Fig. 2).
Connecting Water
• Install overflow assembly. Re-
move nut and place nipple through
the hole in the pan, with the rub-
ber washer between the pan and
the head of the drain nipple (Fig.
4). Screw on nut and draw up
tight against bottom of pan. In-
sert overflow pipe in nipple to
retain water. Overflow pipe may
be removed to drain pan when
necessary. A garden hose may
be screwed on the drain nipple
to drain water away from your
unit.
• Connect water supply line.
Install a sillcock and water
valve on faucet as shown by
figure 5. Place the nut and
ferrule on the tubing and
tighten the nut until water
tight.

• Install float valve. Install
valve in the provided hole in
corner post (Fig. 6) and at-
tach water supply line.
• Fill pan. Allow water to fill
to within 1" of top of pan and
adjust float to maintain this
water level. This can be ac-
complished by bending the
float rod (Fig. 6).
• Adjust water amount. Your cooler is equipped with a unique
water metering valve (Fig. 7). The amount of water delivered
to the pads may be decreased by press-
ing the plastic valve as the arrows
indicate. If water is splashing out of
water troughs, you may need to decrease
the amount of water delivery. Check to
see that all pads are saturated with wa-
ter and that there are no dry spots or
openings in the pads.

Maintenance

WARNING:
Before doing any maintenance be sure power
is off and unit is unplugged. This is for your safety.
Spring Start-Up
• Oil bearings. The blower bearings and cooler motor in this
unit should be oiled with a few drops of non-detergent 20/30
weight oil once each year. The motor does not need oil if it has
no oil lines for oiling. Motors that have no oil lines are lifetime
oiled at the factory and require no further oiling for the life of
the unit.
CAUTION:
Do not over oil. Over oiling can cause motor
burn out, due to excessive oil
getting into motor winding.
• Check belt tension. A 3 lb.
force should deflect the belt
3/4 inches (see Fig. 8). Read-
just belt if needed.
• Clean pump. Cleaning the pump is necessary once a year at
start-up. For your safety, turn unit off and unplug from power
receptacle. Remove the pump from the mount slot. Remove
the base of the pump as shown in Fig. 9. Clean the pump and
turn the impeller to ensure free operation. Remove the pump
spout and check for any
blockage. After cleaning,
reinstall the base onto
the pump. Reattach the
pump to the mount in the
cooler using the plastic
retainer to ensure that
the pump will not over-
turn. Do not forget to
replace the spout and
water delivery tube onto
the pump outlet.
• Change Pads. Aspen pads should be replaced once or twice a
season, depending upon the length of the season. At the begin-
ning and at mid season a clean pad is more absorbent and efficient
and will deliver substantially more cool air.
