II. SETup
A. unpacking the pORT-A-COOL® unit.
The standard 24”, 36” and 48” electric models of the PORT-A-COOL® unit are shipped completely
assembled and sitting on a plastic pallet with a large cover box strapped over the PORT-A-COOL® unit. It is
a simple matter to cut the straps and remove the box by lifting it over the PORT-A-COOL® unit. Remove the
protective plastic dust cover to expose the PORT-A-COOL® unit. The 16” model PORT-A-COOL® units are
shipped in an enclosed corrugated box and need only be removed from the box.
B. Connecting the water and electricity.
Water Connection (PORT-A-COOL® unit must be in upright and level position)
After the PORT-A-COOL® unit has been thoroughly tested at the factory, a special 2-sided brass hose
adapter is attached to the water inlet on the side of the PORT-A-COOL® unit, which is below the spray bar
adjustment and drain valves. A standard garden hose is attached to this brass hose adapter and cinched
down to preclude leaks. Visually verify that the hose washer is in position and in good condition.
In the 16” SFC unit, the water tank in the lower portion is designed to be filled at a remote location and
then used without a permanently connected hose. Simply fill the lower tank using the sight glass as a gauge.
WATER SUPPLy INLET PRESSURE SHOULD BE LIMITED TO 50 PSI MAXIMUM
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 secure, visually inspect connections for leaks. Remove the cooling pads
by following the instructions in Section V, Paragraph B, page 15 of the owners manual. Once the sump tank is
filled, the water flow should cease and the inlet connections may now be visually checked for leaks, paying
particular attention to the hose connection into the float valve and the connections into the brass inlet fitting.
All of these inspections have been performed at the factory but shipping may have caused connections to
loosen.
The cooling pads may now be replaced by reversing the removal operation above in Section V, Paragraph
B, page 15.
Electrical Connection
PORT-A-COOL® UNIT MUST BE IN UPRIGHT POSITION WITH COOLING PADS INSTALLED!
All models utilize a single power cord and control switches. Before connecting the plug to an outlet, insure
that there is no standing water where the cord may lie or the operator is standing. The use of separate multiple
outlet devices are not recommended.
When making electrical connections insure that local and national codes are adhered to. Use only with GFCI
Protected Receptacles.
