5. Setup
5.1. Wheel Assembly
- Carefully unbox the evaporative air cooler and place it on its side on a soft, protective surface to avoid scratching.
- Attach the four universal wheels to the designated slots on the bottom of the unit using the provided screws and screwdriver. Ensure the two wheels with brakes are positioned at the front for stability.
- Once all wheels are securely attached, carefully return the unit to an upright position.
5.2. Water Filling
The unit offers three methods for water filling:
- Manual Water Fill: Open the top lid and pour water directly into the tank. The water level window on the front will indicate the current water level.
- Continuous Water Fill: Attach a standard garden hose to the included waterpipe joint on the side of the unit. This allows for continuous water supply without manual refills.
- Adding Ice Packs: For enhanced cooling, place the complimentary ice packs (after freezing) into the water tank. This helps to lower the water temperature and produce colder air.

Ensure the water level does not exceed the maximum fill line indicated on the water level window.
