GFCI The Portacool® 510 utilizes a GFCI (Grounded Fault Circuit Interrupter) to help protect users against ground electrical faults, which prevent some fire and electrical shock hazards. These devices are intended to trip at very low leakage currents. The Portacool 510 model (PAC5101A1) uses a GFCI, which is built into the power cord. The GFCI on these models will automatically reset when the evaporative cooler is plugged into an electrical outlet. If the GFCI is tripped and a simple “reset” will not work, please contact the Portacool Customer Service at (936) 598-5651 or (800) 695-2942 for...

FEATURES WATER LEVEL INDICATOR / PUMP SHUTOFF A water level indicator with integral shutoff gives a visual indication of the water level in the evaporative cooler and will shut off the pump once the water reaches a certain threshold.

This light may cycle on and off for a few minutes to draw attention to the low water condition as it tries to exhaust the remaining water. In order to restart the pump and reset the light, water...

The evaporative cooler must be level and in the upright position to prevent movement. 3) If placed near a wall or other obstruction, position the evaporative cooler a minimum of 3 feet (0.9 meters) from the wall or...

DAILY MAINTENANCE The pump should be turned off approximately 15 minutes before the fan is turned off, which allows the Kuul® evaporative media to dry. Ensuring your Kuul evaporative media is dry at the end of the day not only extends its life, it also helps control the growth of mildew, mold, bacteria and other odor-causing elements.
