PORT-A-COOL® Hazardous Location Units *
I. SETUP
A. Unpacking the PORT-A-COOL@ unit.
The PORT A-COOL HAZARDOUS LOCATION MODELS (PAC2K36EP and PAC2K48EP) are shipped strapped to
a plastic pallet with a large cover box strapped over the PORT-A-COOL® unit. It is a simple matter to cut the strap
and remove the box by lifting it over the PORT-A-COOL® unit. This will expose the plastic dust cover. Remove the
dust cover. At this time two (2) people can remove the PORT-A-COOL® unit from the pallet. Due to the additional
weight of the unit caution should be taken in removing the unit.
B. Removing the cooling media. (Disconnect Power)
Caution- Disconnect power before performing this operation!!
The PORT-A-COOL® unit should now be exposed to allow removal of the cooling media (pads). The front
flap must be removed to allow access to the cooling pads. Start with the center pad, which should be tilted out from
the top and lifted out of the drain trough. The two pads to either side of the center pad may then be removed in
the same manner. Should you desire to remove the two outside pads, they must first be pulled sideways toward the
center of the PORT-A-COOL® unit until they clear the side retainer. They may then be removed as the other pads.
Removal of the pads allows for inspection of the interior of the unit. Make sure all connections are tight and both
motor and pump are secure.
D. Connecting the water and electricity.
Water Connection (PORT-A-COOL® unit must be upright and on a level surface.)
After the PORT-A-COOL® unit has been thoroughly tested at the factory, the special female/female adapter
is connected to the brass bulkhead connector on the left side of the PORT-A-COOL@ unit (when looking at the fan
side). Simply attach a standard garden hose to the brass female/female adapter.
Verify that the rubber hose washer is in place before attaching, and tighten the fitting to guarantee that a
secure connection is made. Once the hose connection is made, water may be turned on to the PORT-A-COOL® unit.
Water should now be entering through the float valve to fill the sump tank.
To verify that your connections are well made, manually lift the red float in the float valve until it seats
against the top of the valve housing. The water flow should stop and the inlet connections may now be visually
checked for leaks, paying particular attention to the hose connection to the float valve and the connections to the
bulkhead fitting, these connection may loosen during shipment.
