Operation and Maintenance

UNPACKING AND INITIAL SETUP

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

WC-1HP 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 straps that wrap the shipping container.

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

2. Remove the shipping container.

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

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

upward, then outward from the bottom.

5. 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-1HP.10).

6. Inspect the entire unit for shipping damage.

7. Ensure the fan belt is attached to the motor and blower pulleys and that the belt tension is correct.

To ensure it is correct, press your finger on the belt about halfway between each pulley. It should

have about a half inch of play. Too loose and the v-belt will slap around while running. Too tight

will cause the pulley bearings to wear and fail prematurely.

8. Look for cracks in the bottom near the frame legs. This is also an indication of rough handling.
