4. Fasten & Seal Ventilator. With the position
tested, apply a bead of roofing cement or urethane
sealant to the underside of the ventilator's
flashing. Proceed with sliding the ventilator up
under the top shingles with the arrow on the
flashing pointing up. Leave the lower portion of
the ventilator flashing on top of the shingles for
maximum weather resistance. Using roofing nails,
fasten the ventilator at all corners of the flashing
and approximately every 4" (102 mm) along the
edge of the flashing (Figure 4). Seal all exposed
fasteners, flashing, stack seams, and loose
shingles. Note: For maximum wind resistance or
as required by building code approval, remove
the ventilator hood and fasten the flashing every
45 degrees, approximately 1" (25.4 mm) away
from the stack wall. Replace ventilator hood when
complete. Seal all exposed fasteners, flashing,
stack seams, and loose shingles.Note: Excessive
application of roofing cement can cause blistering
of shingles.
5. Mount Solar Panel. (Use only if mounting
solar panel on roof deck.) Remove the included
solar panel mounting kit from the carton. The kit
contains deck screws, (2) 1/4"-20 bolts, (2) Nylok
nuts, and (2) "L"-shaped wings.
A. Mark "L"-shaped brackets & top rail
mounting holes. Attach the "L"-shaped wings
loosely to the short slots on side of panel
mounting rail (Figure 5a). Place unit on shingles
Figure 1a
Figure 2b
so that fastener holes in "L"-shaped wings and
top of rails are at least 1.5" (38.1 mm) away
from exposed shingle edges to avoid possible
weather infiltration. Use a grease pencil or chalk
to trace the outline of the "L"-shaped wings on the
shingles and mark both top rail mounting holes.
B. Attach "L"-shaped brackets to roof. Once
you have marked the "L"-shaped wings and top
rail mounting holes, remove the "L"-shaped wings
from the solar panel frame and lay the panel
aside. At the locations previously traced, carefully
pry the shingles and slide each "L"-shaped wing
under the shingles. Align both wings with the
visible portion of your traced outline. While lifting
the shingles, attach both "L" wings to the roof
deck with a provided deck screw (Figure 5b).
Press the shingle back down into place. Apply
roofing cement or urethane sealant under the
shingles to seal them to the roof.
C. Attach top rail bracket. Carefully lift up the
shingles where the top rail mounting holes were
previously marked. Now, align the panel frame
between the installed "L"-shaped wings. Center
the slots in the rails with the mounting holes on
the wings. Slide the top rails under the raised
®
shingles and attach each rail to the roof deck
with a provided deck screw (Figure 5c). Press
the shingles back down into place. Note: You
may have to tilt the panel to access the top rail
mounting holes. Note: Apply roofing cement or
urethane sealant under the shingles to seal them

to the roof. Finally, reattach the "L"-shaped wings
to the rails with the provided bolts and nuts and
fasten them securely (Figure 5d).
CAUTION: THIS FAN AUTOMATICALLY STARTS
WHENEVER THE SOLAR PANEL IS EXPOSED
TO A LIGHT SOURCE OR ACTIVATED BY
AUTOMATIC THERMOSTAT FROM HOUSE
POWER. ALWAYS EXERCISE CAUTION WHEN
IN THE VICINITY OF THE FAN.
6. Adjust Solar Panel. When adjusting the solar
panel, be sure to tilt or rotate the panel to
maximize direct exposure to the sun. To tilt
the solar panel, loosen the two screws, nuts
(Figure 6a) on the rail mount/linkage connection.
Then raise the panel to the desired location and
re-tighten (Figure 6b). To rotate the solar panel
(for hood mount installations only), loosen four
wingnuts, rotate panel to desired position, and
tighten securely.
Note: The optimum angle can be calculated by
using the approximate latitude of the house plus
20 degrees. The solar panel should face south
when possible.
7. Mount Control Module. Remove the Control
Module from inner carton. Fasten it to the edge
of stud or rafter adjacent to after adjacent the fan
(motor leads are 24" [609 mm] in length) with
wood screws (not included) through pre-punched
mounting tabs on the side of the Control Module.
