Replacing Evaporative Cooler Filter
This document outlines the procedure and precautions involved in the replacement of the filter media for the 5051 Evaporative cooler.
Materials needed:
Medium blade Philips or flat blade screw driver
A sturdy flat work area about 3 X 3 foot.
A replacement filter P/N:
If you have been using the unit make sure the pump has been off for at least one hour with the fan running to drain out the water from the filter area and dry out the media.
Completely turn off the unit (pump and fan) and remove the power plug from the wall.
Find an area with a flat workspace at least 3 ft by 3 ft. and cover it with a towel.
Turn the unit so that the back is facing you; as you are facing it the wheels should be to the left.
You will find two screws at the top, remove each screw by turning it counter clock wise (either a Philips or regular blade screw driver will work) and set them some where safe.
Now slowly and gently rock the top of the filter assembly back towards you about 20 degrees or about 7 inches.
Gently lift up with a gentle right to left rocking motion and the filter unit will lift off.
Set unit on to the towel with the outside grill down and the metal retainer up.
