Setup and Installation
This exhaust fan is designed for easy installation on the side of your vehicle. Follow these steps for proper setup:
- Choose Installation Location: Select a suitable flat surface on the side of your car, RV, trailer, or van. Ensure there is enough space for the fan and proper airflow. Refer to Figure 4 for typical installation locations.
- Prepare the Opening: Based on the fan's dimensions (approximately 145 x 135 x 45 mm) and the cut-out hole size (approximately 97 x 97 mm), carefully mark and cut an opening in the vehicle's wall.
- Orient the Fan: The fan is a one-way air outlet. Install the shell of the outlet downward to prevent water leakage.
- Secure the Fan: Place the fan into the prepared opening. Use the provided screws (3 short, 8 long) and clips to securely fasten the fan to the vehicle's body. The panel can be fixed with screws.
- Electrical Connection: Connect the fan to a 12V power source. The red wire is for the positive (+) connection, and the black wire is for the negative (-) connection. Ensure connections are secure and properly insulated.

Operating Instructions
Once properly installed and connected to a 12V power source, the MASO Exhaust Port Fan operates to provide ventilation. The fan is designed for continuous operation to maintain air circulation.
- Power On/Off: The fan will activate when power is supplied to the 12V connection. To turn off, disconnect the power supply or use an inline switch (not included).
- Airflow Direction: This is a unidirectional exhaust fan, meaning it draws air from inside the vehicle and expels it outside.
- Quiet Operation: The fan is designed for silent operation, minimizing noise disturbance.
- Dust Protection: The integrated dust cover helps prevent dust and debris from entering the vehicle while allowing air to exhaust.
