Draining the Cooler Tank
Unscrew drain cap from drain assemble and drain away water. You may tip the unit carefully to the drain side to help
drain all the water out.
Removal and Replacement of Cooling Pad
The cooling pads are made from a special resin impregnated craft paper specially designed for evaporative cooling.
They will last many years if maintained properly and water quality is maintained. It is not necessary to remove the
pads to clean them.
Inspect the pads for deposits of calcium on the air entering side. If the flute cells are clogged or the pad is very heavy
it may be time to change the media. New cooling pad can be purchased where you bought the cooler. Follow these
steps for replacing the pads.
1. With access panel removed, simply pull off the pad retainer disc from the pad pin. Older models may have a
pushed on pin that will need to be pulled away using pliers to grasp disc and pull away. Be careful not to break the
pin although the new pads will come with new pins and disc. The newer models will have a threaded disc that will
unscrew from the pin
2. With disc removed, remove the pins from the pads and carefully remove pads from the fixed side mounting frame.
Then do the same for the back panel or panels.
3. Cooling pads are made with a 45/45 flute and can be installed either side to the frame. Just make sure the
distribution pad that is fixed to the top of the new media pad is at the top. This allows water get onto the top of the
pad evenly. The installation of the pads is opposite of the removal, install the pad, insert pins and install the
retaining disc.
4. Reinstall the back panel and you are ready to use the cooler again.
