UNPACKING AND INITIAL SETUP

The WayCool

WC-1/3HP Evaporative Cooler is shipped upright in a corrugated container. The WayCool

WC-1/3HP is fully assembled

and ready for service except for thoroughly cleaning manufacturing dust from the cooling pads before running it for the first time.

CAUTION: Be careful when you move the unit while it is in the shipping container and when moving it around with the

container removed. Avoid jarring or dropping the unit to prevent damage to the bottom.

1. With the unit in the upright position as marked on the container, use a sharp knife or scissors to cut the banding material on the

shipping container.

Note: Do not discard the shipping container until you have thoroughly inspected the unit.

2. Remove the shipping container.

3. Inspect the entire unit for shipping damage.

4. Ensure the switch is OFF and the unit is unplugged.

5. Remove the plastic retaining grates from all four sides of the unit. Use your fingers to lift each upward,

then outward from the bottom.

6. Remove the cooling pads from all four sides of the unit. Place a putty knife or large, flat-bladed

screwdriver under the pad to lift it up, then outward. With one pad out, the rest can be easily removed by

placing one hand on the pad's inside, your other hand on the outside and lifting the pad up and out from

the bottom (see figure WC-1/3HP.10).

7. Remove Cardboard from blower.

8. Look for cracks on the inside four bottom corners of the unit. This is also an indication of rough

handling.

9. Ensure the frame legs are straight and in alignment, and that the blower is sitting level and in proper

position.

Note: If you notice any damage to your unit, immediately contact the dealer where you purchased it.

10. Clean thoroughly all eight cooling pad sections using a garden hose.

Note: The unit should only be cleaned with approved cleaners or clean water only. Refer to page 15 for approved cleaners.

11. Remove the drain cap from the underside of the bottom and rinse with a hose to flush any manufacturing dust, etc. from the unit.

Replace the drain cap.

12. Replace the pads and the protective retaining grates.

13. Proceed to "Normal Startup".
