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 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 – open the water flow valve (located on the front of your unit) only one and quarter (1
1/4) turns. This water flow valve adjusts the amount of water to the unit. Next, 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. (If the water is dripping off of the pads on to the floor – turn your fan on low –
close the flow valve a little to slow the water flow. After the pads are wet – you can
open the valve to 1 ¼ turn. Allow water to run for 10 – 15 minutes on new cooling
pads to totally saturate them with water. Once your units cooling pads are saturated –
NOTE: EXTENDED COOLING ZONE: 40’ TO 50’ FROM MAXXAIR UNIT.
