STEP 1
MAXXFAN
requires a 355mm x 355mm roof
opening, if you are replacing another type already
installed, remove the old existing roof vent.
Remove all old roof sealant for a minimum of
50mm entirely around the roof opening.
Place the
MAXXFAN
into the roof opening
and trace a pencil line around it to verify the
clean seal area that will be required. Note that
the
MAXXFAN
must be centered in the roof
opening with the hinge of the lid facing the front
of the vehicle.
CAUTION:
When installing your
MAXXFAN
, only
use a caulking/sealant compatible with the flange
(plastic product) and the roof surface. DO NOT
use materials containing solvents such as or similar
to Xylene, Toluene, Methyl Ethyl Ketone, Acetate
or Acetone as they can damage the flange. Also,
Polysulfide (Thiokol) type sealants must be avoided.
If in doubt, please contact the manufacturer of your
Caravan for further information.
STEP 2
Prior to installing the
MAXXFAN
into the roof
opening, apply a continuous strip of BUTYL tape
or equivalent caulking to the underside of the
flange, making sure to cover the screw holes.
CAUTION:
Disconnect main vehicle power before
connecting 12 volt DC power to the
MAXXFAN
!
STEP 3
Using the insulated 16 gauge electrical connectors
provided, connect the vehicle’s 12 volt power to
the two
MAXXFAN
power wires.
CAUTION:
Connecting the MAXXFAN to a circuit
other than 12 Volts DC or with incorrect polarity could
damage the MAXXFAN, cause injury to persons or
damage to property and void the warranty.
NOTE: The
MAXXFAN
black wire identified
with a tag showing (+) must be connected to the
vehicle 12 volt (+) positive supply.
STEP 4
Insert the
MAXXFAN
into the opening with the lid
hinge facing the front of the vehicle and centering
the
MAXXFAN
in the opening. Make sure the
power wires slide to the interior and do not become
entangled. Using the sixteen (16) screws provided,
screw the flange to the roof at each raised ring
dimple location along the flange. Screw into the
dimple to pierce the flange, making sure not to
overtighten the screws to avoid cracking the flange.
STEP 5
After the
MAXXFAN
has been installed, remove
the excess caulk that may have squeezed out.
Using a sealer such as Dicor self-leveling lap
sealant or similar caulking, apply a daub over every
exposed screw head. In addition, apply a bead
(approximately 5 mm) along the outside edge of the
flange all the way around the vent.
THIS COMPLETES THE ROOF TOP PORTION OF THE INSTALLATION
NOTE:
Re-apply 12 volt vehicle power. The
MAXXFAN
will emit a beeping sound to indicate power is properly
connected. In addition, the 4500KI and 4540KI Remote Control Models will automatically close the vent cover. If
the
MAXXFAN
does not beep when power is connected, go back to step #3. Confirm that proper connections were
made and 12 volt power is on and available. This
MAXXFAN
incorporates a self-resetting fuse on the circuit board
located in the ceiling assembly. It can be reset by removing and re-applying power. If your fan fails to operate or
needs reset, contact your AIRXCEL / MAXXAIR distributor for assistance or solicit the aid of an electrical technician.
FOR REMOTE CONTROL MODELS:
Please refer to the REMOTE CONTROL OPERATING GUIDE in this
manual for use and testing of your remote control. Install the two AAA batteries included, follow instructions, aim
remote at the ceiling unit and test your fan. The Remote Control comes with a cradle for wall mount storage of the
Handheld Remote Control. Mount the cradle to your wall using the screws provided.
