READ & SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS!
MOUNTING THE FAN
IMPORTANT: If the fan will be mounted on a flat roof, make a curb
on which to mount the fan; the fan must be above the level of the
roof's water line.
1. Determine location of fan (center of attic near roof peak).
At desired location, drill a hole through the roof (centered
between the rafters).
2. Using the drilled hole as a center, make a 14
on the roof. To make a circle, a compass can be made of a
scrap piece of wood with two nails placed 7
3. Make cutout in roof along the circle that has been made. If the
roof is shingled, cut shingles along the circle using tin snips,
knife etc.
4. Place fan over opening in roof. Nail mounting flange to roof.
Caulk around mounting flange to help prevent water seepage.
If the roof is shingled, slide mounting flange under the
surrounding shingles.
MOUNTING THE THERMOSTAT'S OUTLET BOX
IMPORTANT: Do not mount outlet box near heat source.
1. Mount the outlet box to a nearby rafter so that the outlet box is
higher than the fan motor.
