READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
NOTE: Refer to Installation Instructions, Information and Operation Guides regarding the model you have purchased.
The SKYMAXX ROOFLIGHT installs into a standard caravan roof opening of 400 mm x 400 mm (15.75 in. x 15.75 in.).

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 Roof light interior ceiling flange into the opening.

The Roof light is designed for a minimum roof thickness 23 mm to 60 mm maximum (0.90 inches to 2.36 inches).
The LED lighted Rooflight requires a minimum 12 Volt DC, 2 amp service. Confirm that the circuit you intend to use will accommodate the additional load. Circuit must be fused and use appropriate gauge stranded wire for electrical connections.
NOTE: Wall Control for LED lights must be provided by installer.
NOTE: THE ROOFLIGHT MUST BE CLOSED PRIOR TO TRANSPORTING OR MOVING THE CARAVAN.

WARNING! TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK, OR INJURY TO PERSONS, OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING:

1. Use this unit only in the manner intended by AIRXCEL, INC. If you have questions, contact the manufacturer.
2. Before servicing or cleaning the unit, switch power off at service panel and lock the service disconnecting means to prevent power from being switched on accidentally. When the service disconnecting means cannot be locked, securely fasten a prominent warning device, such as a tag, to the service panel.

CAUTION! FOR GENERAL VENTILATION USE ONLY. DO NOT USE TO EXHAUST HAZARDOUS OR EXPLOSIVE MATERIALS OR VAPORS.

NOTICE! Risk of damage due to a build-up of heat between the shade and the cover. In strong sunlight, only close the shade two thirds of the way

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

• STEP 1

  ---

Refer to the above table for roof size opening. If you are replacing another type already installed, remove the old existing roof vent. Remove all old roof sealant for a minimum of 5 cm (2 inches) entirely around the roof opening.

• STEP 2
  Measure the thickness of the roof opening.
  NOTE: For curved roofs, measure the thickest part of the roof.

• STEP 3
  Prior to installing the SKYMAXX ROOFLIGHT over the roof opening, apply a continuous strip of a flexible non-hardening sealing compound (e.g. SikaLastomer-710) to the underside of the flange in the grooved space.
  CAUTION! When installing your SKYMAXX ROOFLIGHT, only use a caulking/sealant compatible with the flange (plastic product) and the roof surface. DO NOT use materials containing solvents such as or similar to Xylene, Toluene, Methyl Ethyl Ketone (MEK), Acetate or Acetone as they can damage the flange. Also, Polysulfide (Thiokol) type sealants must be avoided.
  If in doubt, please contact the manufacturer of your caravan for further information.

• STEP 4
  Insert the SKYMAXX ROOFLIGHT into the roof opening with the hinged section facing the front of the vehicle with the ceiling flange centered in the opening. Press down on the flange to compress the sealant to seal to the roof.

• STEP 5
  After the SKYMAXX ROOFLIGHT has been installed, remove the excess caulk that may have squeezed out. Using a sealer such as Decor self-leveling lap sealant or similar caulking, apply a bead (approximately 5 mm dia.) along the outside edge of the flange all the way around the Roof light.

• STEP 6
  Insert the ceiling flange into the opening, lining up the flanges.

• STEP 7
  Referring to the screw lengths in the table of STEP 2, use the proper length screws depending on your roof thickness to secure the ceiling flange to the rooftop flange, taking care not to overtighten the screws to avoid cracking or deforming the ceiling flange and rooftop flange.
  

• STEP 8
  Optional: Install the screws to secure the ceiling flange to the caravan ceiling. If the ceiling flange does not lay flat to the ceiling, you may want to install screws to prevent gapping.

• STEP 9
  To assemble the Interior Shroud to the Ceiling Flange, line up the flanges with the channels on the Ceiling Flange. Secure in place by pressing firmly on the Interior Shroud. This ensures that the clips on the Interior Shroud will engage the channels on the ceiling flange to lock it in place.
