Using It on the Job
- Isolate Power: Always shut off and lock out power to the evaporative cooler before starting any maintenance work.

- Install New Pads: Fit the new FILCEL™ pads into position, securing them with the provided fixing pins and washers.
- Apply Tank Treatment: Add the supplied antibacterial tank treatment to the clean water reservoir as per instructions.

Limitations & Safety Notes
- Always ensure power is isolated before working on evaporative coolers.
- Use only with Bonaire VSM 60|65 Integra Medium Cabinet models; incorrect pads can affect performance.
- Follow manufacturer guidelines for disposal of old pads and chemicals.
- While pre-treated, regular cleaning and maintenance are still crucial for optimal performance and hygiene.
Don't just replace the pads; take the time to clean out the water reservoir and distribution tray thoroughly. A build-up of sludge and algae gums up the works and cuts down the life of your new pads and the cooler's efficiency.
