% Read all instructions carefully before installation.
% Use only the blower motor and circulating pump(s)
combinations marked on the Model Nameplate indicating
suitability for use in this model. Any other motors or pumps
cannot be substituted.
% Installation work and electrical wiring must be done by
qualified person(s) in accordance with all applicable
codes and standards, including fire rated construction.
% When cutting or drilling into a wall or ceiling, do not
damage electrical wiring or other concealed utilities (water
or gas lines, sewer lines, etc.).
% Cooler motor, pump, cabinet and junction box must be
grounded in accordance with all local and national codes.
A ground wire must be used between the power supply
and the cooler.
% Be sure that the cooler is connected to proper line voltage
stamped on the pump and blower (fan) motor specification
plate. NOTE: Improper voltage will void the pump and/or
motor warranties and may cause serious personal injury
or property damage.
% Do not operate this blower (fan) motor with any solid-state
speed control device.
! Always disconnect electrical power to unit before
working on or servicing cooler. More than one
disconnect switch will be required to de-energize the
equipment for servicing.
! Do not remove pad frames while cooler is running, this
may cause the blower (fan) motor to overload and
damage the motor windings.
NOTE:
! Do not locate unit near exhaust or vent pipes as odors or
fumes may be drawn into cooler.
! Use of anode devices, chemical additives or treatments in
this cooler will void the warranty.
! Your warranty does not cover shipping damage. Report all
shipping damage at once to dealer or carrier making the
delivery.
