No. It is an evaporative air cooler, sometimes called a swamp cooler. The fan pulls in hot air, a water drip spray system releases water into the Media, the water droplets evaporate when they meet the hot air, lowering the ambient air temperature by as much as 26°F, (14°C), and the fan blows the cooled air in the desired direction.

Airflow: ≈6,840 cfm (194 cmm). Cooling area: ≈1,076 ft² (100 m²)

Actual airflow and area cooled will vary based on external temperature, humidity, obstructions or shape of the area to be cooled.

With the back of the unit facing a source of hot, dry air – which is what the Cool Boss will cool—and the front facing the area to be cooled. The Cool Boss should be near a power source as well. Also, the unit is portable, so it can be moved to where it is most needed.

No. Clean, cold, ordinary tap water.

Not at all. Only three easy-to-understand controls are required to operate it.

Very little. Basically, keep the Water Reservoir filled with clean, cold tap water and clean the Media as needed. Dirt and other pollutants from the environment accumulate in the Media and the Reservoir, so it is best to clean periodically. Do not clean the Media by spraying it with high pressure water while installed in the Cool Boss! Instead, remove the Media using the procedure in the Maintenance section, then clean it as described.

Unboxing the COOL BOSS CB-19SL:

The Cooler is carefully packaged to prevent damage. Exercise care in removing the Cooler from its packaging. Be cautious of sharp edges and fasteners. Carefully remove the shipping container from around the Cool Boss using a hammer and pry bar.

Installing the Casters and Handles:

1. Locate the casters. They are shipped in a separate box.

2. With the help of a capable assistant, carefully lay the Cool Boss on its back. Use a drop-cloth or cardboard to lay the Cool Boss on, to prevent scratching the surface.

3. Tightly install the four swivel Casters using the four bolts and flat washers provided (for each Caster).

4. Lock the two rear Casters by pushing down on the larger pedal. Pushing down on the small pedal releases the lock.

5. Have an assistant help set the Cool Boss back upright and onto its Casters.

6. Install one Handle to each side of the Cool Boss using the provided screws.

Find a suitable location for the COOL BOSS CB-19SL (hot air to rear, cooling area to front). The unit should be indoors, near an appropriate water source, and a power outlet protected by a GFCI circuit breaker. It should also be located in a low-traffic, well-ventilated area.

1. Unlock the Casters and roll the Cool Boss to the desired location. Direct the Fan outlet toward the area to be cooled.

2. Maintain 36 in. (914 mm) minimum of clear, open space behind the Cool Boss for adequate heat air intake.

3. Once a location has been found and the Cool Boss moved into position, lock a minimum of two Casters by pressing down on the large pedal locking mechanism on each Caster. To unlock the Casters, press down on the small pedal.

The COOL BOSS CB-19SL has a water capacity of approximately 15 gal. (57 liters). Use only cold, clean water. Do not add detergents or additives. Fill the reservoir to maximum capacity before first use to ensure the low water shutoff engages properly.

There are two options to fill the Reservoir:

Option 1: Manual Fill Port

1. Remove the Water Fill Cap, located on the front of the Cool Boss. Set the cap aside.

2. Using a water hose or a bucket and a funnel, fill the reservoir. The water level may be viewed through the Reservoir Sight Gauge to the left of the Manual Fill Port. Do not overfill.

3. After filling, replace the Water Fill Cap and clean up and dry any water spilled on the Cool Boss or the floor around the unit.

Option 2: Auto-fill Hose Connection

Connect to the Water Reservoir Inlet on the left rear corner of the unit using a standard 3/4 in. hose that is rated to 28 to 99.5psi / (2 to 7 kg/cm²) maximum water pressure. A hose is not supplied. Open the facility water supply valve and verify that there are no leaks. When using the Water Reservoir Inlet, the Reservoir Float Valve will close to stop water before the maximum fill level is exceeded.

Before connecting, verify the required voltage by checking the model nameplate. The COOL BOSS CB-19SL indicates 110 VAC operation. It is recommended to connect to a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupting (GFCI) outlet or a circuit protected by a GFCI circuit breaker. The GFCI acts as a Circuit Breaker in the event of a Ground Fault.

If the plug is not compatible with the power source, a licensed Electrician must install a separate 15 Amp circuit protected by a fuse or circuit breaker with an appropriately grounded power receptacle in accordance with all national and local electrical codes.

Units operating at 110 VAC have the appropriate plug attached from the factory.

If an extension cord is required, use only cords with a polarized plug/receptacle no longer than 100 ft. (30.5 m) in length. Never use an extension cord that is not properly rated to handle the electrical load. When making connections, ensure all local and national electrical codes are adhered to.

• The Cool Boss should only be operated by authorized, trained personnel. Do not allow children or impaired people to operate the Cool Boss.

• Never roll anything heavy or sharp over the power cord. Find a location where people will not be walking over the power cord, presenting a tripping hazard.

• Never operate the Cool Boss unless the Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) is functioning.

• Never remove the ground prong from the plug end of the power cord. Do not operate the unit if the power cord is damaged.

• Do not run the power cord under a rug or other flammable material.

• Use only in a well-ventilated open environment with a fresh air supply.

• The Cool Boss area must be free from airborne pollutants, flammable gases and contaminates.

• Ambient operating temperature must remain between +65° to +113°F (+18° to +45°C)

• Never spray the Cool Boss with water as it is not sealed and moisture may harm the Motor or other electrical system components.

• Do not operate near open containers of flammable liquids or gases.

• Always maintain a minimum 50 ft. (15 m) from any open flame or sparks.

• The Cool Boss is not designed to be used by children or people with reduced physical, sensory, or mental capabilities or lack of experience and knowledge unless they have been given supervision or instruction.

• Never operate the Cool Boss unless all Media is securely in place.

• Always dry the Media after use by turning off the Water Supply to the Media and running the Fan without circulating water. This may take from 20 to 60 minutes depending on temperature and humidity.

IMPORTANT! Fill the water reservoir to maximum capacity before first use. Failure to do so will prevent the low-water shutoff from engaging and the fan from starting.

1. Verify that ALL controls are in the OFF position.

2. Open a door or window if using the Cool Boss indoors. Sufficient airflow for intake and exhaust is critical.

3. Verify that the Cool Boss Water Reservoir is full.

4. Verify that a minimum of two Casters are locked to prevent the Cool Boss from moving from the additional thrust of the Fan.
