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 – then, you are ready to turn on fan 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.
5.4 Turn-on Fan
Once your cooling pads are wet – you may turn on your MaxxAir unit. Now you can begin to feel the MaxxAir difference in
temperature. After your MaxxAir has run for 5 minutes or so, visually inspect the pads – if water is dripping outside the unit
– you have too much water, simply turn the water flow valve to the right ½ turn and inspect water flow in another 5 minutes.
If there are dry streaks in the cel deck pads open the water flow valve handle ½ turn to increase water – check water flow in
another 5 minutes and adjust accordingly. Most MaxxAir operations work effectively with valve opened at 1 ¼ turns. This
water valve is efficient – it requires minimal turning.
6.0 Daily Operating procedures
6.1 Turn-on water supply to MaxxAir unit. Then, turn on water pump.
Turn on water pump to unit – then, turn on fan to low – let cooling pads get saturated – then turn fan on high for cooling.
Adjust the water flow – Your MaxxAir operates most efficiently – and maintains uniform cooling pad wetness with the
water control valve turned on at 1 ¼ turns. You must determine what works best for you and your specific environment.
6.2 Adjust water flow
Your MaxxAir operates most efficiently – and maintains uniform cooling pad wetness with the water control valve turned
on at 1 ¼ turns. You must determine what works best for you and your specific environment.
6.2 Turn on fan
When you can see that the cooling pads are saturated with water – turn fan on high and feel the cooler air coming from your
MaxxAir unit. Adjust the fan speed for your comfort.
6.4 Turn-off MaxxAir unit at end of day.
15 minutes before closing for the day – turn off water pump with toggle switch – leave fan running – this action will shut-off
water to the cooling pads while keeping the fan running. The fan will dry out the cooling pads. When the cooling pads are
thoroughly dry – turn off fan. Drying your cooling pads thoroughly - everyday will help prevent mold and mildew growth,
plus it will prolong the life of your cooling pads. Turn off water supply to unit.
7.0 Maintenance
7.1 Access inside of unit
Turn-off water pump and let the fan continue to run until the cooling pads are thoroughly dry (about 10 – 15 minutes). Once
your cooling pads are completely dry you may turn-off fan. Now unplug electricity to unit to avoid unnecessary shock. Next,
using a 7/16” wrench – remove the two retaining bolts from the backside and topside (cooling pad side) of the unit. These
