Maxxair MAXXFAN 5100K Series User manual

Step 1
MaxxFan requires a 14” x 14” 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 ” entirely around the roof opening.
Place the MaxxFan Roof Receiving Flange (ref. photo #3) 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 cen-
tered in the roof opening with the metal clips facing the sides of the vehicle (not facing the front or
rear of the vehicle).
Step 2
CAUTION: When installing your Roof Flange, only use a caulking/sealant co patible with the
flange (plastic product) and the roof surface. DO NOT use aterials containing solvents such as or
si ilar to Xylene, Toluene, Methyl Ethyl Ketone, Acetate or Acetone as they can da age the flange.
Also, Polysulfide (Thiokol) type sealants ust be avoided. Silicone Sealants, such as G.E. Silicone II
(non-paintable) used for outdoor applications have proven to be suitable for this installation.
MaxxAir – the leader in RV ventilation
From MaxxAir Vent Corporation
NOTE: Refer to supplied Operating instructions regarding the odel you have purchased.
The MaxxFan installs into a standard RV roof opening of 14 by 14 inches.
To determine if your roof opening is correctly sized, simply remove the interior ceiling garnish trim ring of
your existing roof vent and measure the ceiling opening or verify the opening is large enough by sliding the
MaxxFan interior arnish trim ring into the opening.
Due to the exhaust/intake louvers that face the rear of the vehicle, the MaxxFan requires a roof area clear
of obstructions such as air conditioners, storage boxes, etc. for at least 8 inches to the rear of the existing
standard roof vent flange outer rear edge.
The MaxxFan is designed for a minimum roof thickness of 1 1/8 inches to a maximum of 6 1/2 inches. If
your roof thickness is less than 1 1/8 inches, build additional thickness at the ceiling opening using wood or
other suitable material.
The MaxxFan requires a minimum 12 Volt DC, 5 amp service. Confirm that the circuit you intend to use will
accommodate the additional load. Use the proper gauge stranded wire for electrical connections.

7A - After adding, in this example, 1/ inch more,
a line is drawn on the outside of the Garnish Ring
at 4 inches.
7B -Connect all four corners with a line at the re-
quired dimension and trim accordingly.
Step 7
The interior Garnish Trim Ring must be
trimmed to fit your particular RV roof thickness.
To accomplish this, measure the distance from the
vehicle ceiling surface to each corner of the
MaxxFan Control Plate.
Most RV roofs have some slope, so measuring
each corner is necessary. The Garnish ring
should be cut 1/4 to 1/ inch longer than the di-
mensions measured at each corner.
In the picture (#7) to the left, the installation
measures 3 and 1/ inches from the ceiling
(example only) to the Control Plate. Go to
7A & 7B.
On Remote Control Models: Attach provided cra-
dle to wall with ( ) #6 screws provided. Handheld
Remote Control may be placed
into wall cradle for storage
