IMPORTANT: READ INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY BEFORE
ATTEMPTING TO INSTALL, OPERATE OR SERVICE THIS FAN.
FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH INSTRUCTIONS COULD RESULT IN
PERSONAL INJURY AND/OR PROPERTY DAMAGE.
The PORTABLE COOLER is a direct drive
fan designed for medium duty use in machine
and auto repair shops, factory work stations,
patios and decks, in laundries and dry clean-
ers, and anywhere air movement is required.
It is easily rolled to various locations on sturdy,
no skid wheels. The unit is constructed of cold
rolled steel with a powder coat finish. Guards
are made of steel wire and comply with OSHA
guarding requirements. The ON/OFF switch
is conveniently mounted and guarded on side
of barrel.
GENERAL SAFETY INFORMATION:
1. Your Portable Cooler will operate only on
110 Volt AC, 60 HZ (cycle) current with a
minimum of a 15 Amp circuit.
2. WARNING: To reduce the risk of electric
shock, DO NOT expose to water or rain. To
guard against electric shock while the fan
is connected to power source, DO NOT
PERMIT fan to become in contact with
other grounded objects such as pipes,
radiators, ranges, etc.
3. DO NOT ABUSE POWER CORD. DO
NOT pull on cord to remove from electrical
receptacle. Keep cord away from heat, oil
and sharp edges. Inspect cord periodically,
replacing if damaged.
4 Disconnect the fan when not in use, before
servicing and cleaning, and
when repairing or replac-
ing parts.
5. DO NOT carry or move
the fan when connected
to power source. Be sure
switch is "OFF" prior
to connecting to power
source.
6. When the Portable Cooler
is used outdoors with
extension cord, use cord
of proper size (Amp rat-
ing) only, UL listed and
with receptacle to accept
3-prong grounded plug
furnished on the fans
Motor
power cord. Only round jacketed extension
cords should be used.
7. Before operating this fan, check for worn
or damaged parts and replace or repair
if required. To avoid risk of fire, electri-
cal shock or other injury, disconnect from
power source before servicing.
8. DO NOT operate the Portable Cooler near
flammable liquids or in gaseous or explo-
sive atmospheres as sparks from motor
may ignite fumes.
9. If the wire guards are removed, replace
before normal operation.
10. In case of power failure, turn off the fan
at switch. This will prevent motor burn out
and/or unexpected restarting.
WARNING:
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE OR
ELECTRICAL SHOCK DO NOT USE
THIS FAN WITH ANY SOLID STATE
FAN SPEED CONTROL DEVISE.
OPERATION: Your Portable Cooler is turned
ON or OFF with a rocker switch located toward
the top of the barrel. To operate the two speed
fan push one side of the rocker switch down
for low speed and the opposite side down for
high speed. Place the rocker switch in the
center position to turn the fan OFF.

TROUBLESHOOTING
SERVICE and DISSASSEMBLY
Turning fan on and off in rapid succession will cause
motor to over heat. If this occurs allow motor to cool
twenty minutes before resuming operation.
NOTE: If fan will be operating in dusty, moist or
other contaminated areas, it is recommended
that the PORTABLE COOLERS equipped with
TOTALLY ENCLOSED motors be used.
WARNING: DISCONNECT FROM POWER
SOURCE BEFORE SERVICING MOTOR
AND FAN BLADE CLEANING.
1. Motors are lubricated at the factory to oper-
ate for long periods under normal conditions
without re-lubrication.
.
2. Clean motor surfaces and ventilation open-
ings periodically, preferably with a vacuum
cleaner. Heavy accumulations of dust and
lint will result in overheating and premature
motor failure.
3. Keep guards and blade clean by vacuuming
and wiping periodically.
Generally, the only reason to disassemble your
PORTABLE COOLER is for cleaning and replac-
ing damaged or worn components.
MODELS PC 3613, PC 3623, PC 4213,
