3. Setup
Follow these steps to set up your evaporative cooler:
- Unpacking: Carefully remove the unit from its packaging. Inspect for any damage during transit.
- Caster Installation: Attach the four casters to the base of the unit. Two casters are equipped with brakes; position them as desired for stability.

- The unit is designed for residential use and suitable for spaces like garages, patios, yards, and factories.
5. Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your evaporative cooler.
- Water Tank Cleaning:
- Drain the water tank regularly, especially if the unit will not be used for an extended period. The clearly marked drain port at the bottom simplifies this process.
- Clean the tank with a mild detergent and water to prevent mold, mildew, and mineral buildup. Rinse thoroughly.
- Cooling Pad Cleaning/Replacement:
- Periodically inspect the cooling pads for mineral deposits or debris.
- Clean pads by rinsing them with water. For heavy buildup, a soft brush may be used.
- Replace cooling pads if they become excessively clogged or damaged, as this can reduce cooling efficiency.
- Exterior Cleaning: Wipe the exterior surfaces of the unit with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- Storage: When storing the unit for off-season, ensure the water tank is completely drained and dry. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
