4.1 Connecting the electrical supply
All MaxxAir models require regular 3 prongs, ground with 120 volt power supply. Plug electrical cord into receptacle. If
using an extension cord be sure it is rated for at least 20 amps for the distance your cord is running. To be safe – make sure
no other equipment, such as a radio or electrical equipment, is plugged into the same circuit. The MaxxAir should run
smoothly on 20 amp, 120 volt, and 60 Hz circuit.
4.2 Connecting the water supply
Connect standard water hose to female fitting on the right side of your MaxxAir (looking at the fan blade side). If your water
pressure is above 60 pounds per square inch (p.s.i.) you must use a pressure regulator (which can be found at your local
hardware store). Note: Do not connect to water source exceeding 60 p.s.i. – this can cause damage to your MaxxAir.
5.0 Operating procedures
Back your MaxxAir unit up to a fresh air source such
as an open door or window so the unit can pull in
fresh air from the outside. Next, make sure you have
a natural exhaust at the opposite end of the room, bay
or building such as a window, door or bay door. This
will ensure maximum efficiency from your unit.
Finally make sure there are no obstructions between
your MaxxAir and the people / area you need to cool.
5.1 Filling the units reservoir with water
Once your water hose is connected, turn water on and
fill the reservoir with water. Listen carefully. You
can hear water filling the reservoir. Check your water
connection – make sure there is no dripping. Once the reservoir is filled with water the float valve will automatically shut off
the water source. When you no longer hear the water running – you know that the float valve is fully operational (the water
turns off automatically) and you are now ready to turn on the water pump. Warning! Do not run water pump without
water in the reservoir.
5.2 Turn-on pump
To turn-on the water pump - flip the toggle switch for the water pump to on. Switch is located on front side of unit.
Warning! Do not run water pump without water in the reservoir. The water pump will now begin pumping water to the
top of the unit so that gravity will allow the water to run down the backside of unit inside and on the cooling pads. Once
your MaxxAir cooling pads are saturated – then, you are ready to turn fan on high and begin to feel the cooling effect from
your new MaxxAir. Note: After your cooling pads are broken in (typically takes 1 -2 weeks in operation) it will take less
time to saturate pads for start-up. This is a good time to dump the old water – add ½ Evap-O-Matic Chemical Water
Treatment tablet and refill with fresh water. (Simply remove a cooling pad to place tablet inside of water reservoir).
NOTE: EXTENDED COOLING ZONE: 40’ TO 50’ FROM MAXXAIR UNIT.
AIR MOVEMENT INCLUDES WARM AIR MIXING WITH COOLED AIR.
