STEP 1
MAXXFAN
requires a roof opening opeining of 355mm
x 355mm for KI models and a roof opening of 400mm x
400mm for KI40 models. 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 Roof Receiving Flange (reference
photo #2 below) into the roof opening and trace a pencil
line around it to verify the clean seal area that will be
required. Note that the Roof Receiving Flange must be
centered in the roof opening with the metal clips facing
the sides of the vehicle (not facing the front or rear of the
vehicle).
