Port-A-Cool SERIES 2000 - Manual (Page 10)

PORT-A-COOL® Hazardous Location Units *
CAUTION - DO NOT LEAVE PRIME VALVE ON OR THE UNIT MAY FLOOD!
When initially turning on the pump, the level in the sump will drop suddenly and restart the flow of supply
water. This is a normal condition as the cooling pads require a large amount of water for proper wetting.
When the PORT-A-COOL® unit is new, the new pads will require an initial ‘breaking-in’ period. This period is
required to start the pads absorbing the water into the paper. It may take up to a week before maximum efficiency is
reached.
It is important to insure that the spray bar is properly adjusted when first starting the water flow in the
PORT-A-COOL® unit. Adjusting the flow of water from the spray bar is accomplished by using the SPRAY BAR
ADJUSTMENT VALVE on the side of the unit.
D. Starting the fan. ( Cooling pads must be installed and caster brakes must be engaged. )
Starting the fan is as simple as turning the fan switch to the ‘ON’ position.
Adjust the water flow over the cooling pads where the pads appear to
have a few dry streaks in them.
When turning the fan off at the end of the day or week, the pump should be turned off about 15 minutes
before the fan to allow the cooling pads to dry. This will enhance the life of the pads.
