WARNING

During extreme outdoor temperatures, the heat gain
of the vehicle may be reduced by:
- parking the vehicle in a shaded area
- keeping the windows and doors closed
- avoiding the use of heat producing appliances
Test run the unit with proper power supply outlet. Refer to the Operating Instructions section in this Owner’s Guide.
Make sure all the controls operate correctly then disconnect the power supply of the unit.
Your Air V unit has been designed for use in recreational vehicles.
Check the roof of the vehicle to determine if it supports both the roof top unit and the ceiling assembly without
additional support. Make sure the interior ceiling mounting area will not interfere with existing structures.
Once the location for your air conditioner has been determined, a reinforced and framed roof hole opening must
be cut (if there is no hole) or you may use existing vent holes.
Remove all screws which secure
the roof vent to the vehicle.
Remove the vent and any
additional trim. Carefully remove
all chalking from around the
opening so the surface is clear.
- using window shades (binds and/or curtains)
For a more permanent solution to reduce the high
heat gain, window awnings and/or window glass
tinting should be considered.
