Limitations & Safety Notes

• Ensure power is isolated and locked out before any maintenance on evaporative coolers to prevent electric shock.
• These pads are specific to 800mm x 635mm x 120mm units; verify your cooler's dimensions before purchase to ensure a correct fit.
• Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), such as gloves, during pad replacement and cleaning tasks.
• Regular cleaning of the cooler sump and water distribution system is recommended to extend pad life and maintain optimal cooling efficiency.

Tradie Pro Tip

When you're swapping out pads, always give the cooler's water tray and pump a good clean. It'll prevent new scale from forming on your fresh pads too quickly and keeps the whole system running smoothly.
