PLAN THE INSTALLATION

ALL INSTALLATIONS

1. Locate the blower so the length of the duct run and number of elbows are kept to a minimum.
2. Where possible, blower should be centered between wall studs or roof rafters.

PLAN THE INSTALLATION

1. Avoid pipes, wires, or other ductwork that may be running through the wall.
2. Attach mounting plate to top of hood.
3. Install 10" dia. ductwork and 120 VAC house wiring between blower location and hood location.

PREPARE THE INSTALLATION LOCATION

ROOF INSTALLATIONS

1. Locate the blower on the rear slope of the roof. Place it in a location to minimize duct run. The location should be free of obstacles (T.V. leads, electrical lines, etc.). Bear in mind, if the blower top is level with the roof peak, it will not be seen from the street. Keep this approximate location in mind as you work from within the attic.

From inside the attic space:

1. Drill a PILOT HOLE up through the roof, 8½" from the inside edge of a ROOF RAFTER.

From outside - on the roof:

1. Measure and mark the 20^3/4 " x 20^1/2 " rectangle. Cut and remove only the shingles inside this rectangle.

2. Measure and mark the 11" DIAMETER HOLE and the 1¼" DIAMETER HOLE. Cut these holes all the way through the roof.

1. For flat roof installations, build a curb that will mount the blower at a minimum pitch of 2/12. See Figure 2. Discharge end of the blower should be pointed away from prevailing winds.

PREPARE THE INSTALLATION LOCATION

WALL INSTALLATIONS

1. Choose a position on the outside wall. Make sure that no wall studs, pipes or wires run through the opening area.

From inside the wall:

1. Drill a PILOT HOLE through the wall, 8 ^1/2 " from the inside edge of a WALL STUD.

From outside - on the wall:

1. Measure and mark the 24 ^3/4 " x 28 ^1/4 " rectangle. Cut and remove only the sid-ing inside this rectangle.

2. Measure and mark the 11" DIAMETER HOLE and the 1¼" DIAMETER HOLE. Cut these holes all the way through the wall.

PREPARE THE BLOWER

ALL INSTALLATIONS

1. Unpack the blower assembly.
2. Remove the cover and screws.
3. Remove and discard cardboard from blower wheel.
4. Remove the wiring box cover and screws.
5. Attach an appropriate U.L. approved cable connector in the hole at the rear of the wiring box.

ROOF INSTALLATIONS

1. Remove roofing nails from the upper 2/3 of the shingles around the cutout area and carefully lift the shingles to allow the back flashing sheet on the blower housing to fit under them.
2. Center the blower ring in the 11" diameter hole, making sure that the 1-1/4" diameter electrical wiring hole aligns with the hole in the wiring box.
3. Attach the blower to the roof with the six screws provided. All six holes in the back panel must be filled, or any moisture that may get inside the housing could leak into the house.
4. Using a good grade of roofing cement, seal all of the shingles around the housing and flashing sheet as well as the mounting screw heads.
5. Bring electrical wiring (from hood) through the hole in the wiring box and secure it according to local codes.

1. Make the electrical connections with the proper connector for the type of wiring being used. Connect white to white, black to black, and the green or bare wire to green. See Figure 4, as well as the wiring label on the hood's mounting plate.
2. Replace wiring box cover and screws. Do not pinch wiring under the cover.
3. Check for free movement of the damper before installing housing cover and screws.
4. Turn on power and check operation of the blower.

WALL INSTALLATIONS

1. Place a large bead of caulk on the back side of the housing along the outer edge.
2. Center the blower ring in the 11" diameter hole, making sure that the 1-1/4" diameter electrical wiring hole aligns with the hole in the wiring box.
3. Attach blower to the wall with the six screws provided. All six holes in the back panel must be filled, or any moisture that may get inside the housing could leak into the house.
4. Using a good grade of caulk, seal all around the mounting screw heads.
5. Bring electrical wiring through the hole in the wiring box and secure it according to local codes.
6. Make the electrical connections with the proper connector for the type of wire being used. Connect white to white, black to black, and green or bare wire to green. See Figure 4.
7. Replace wiring box cover and screws. Do not pinch wiring under cover.
8. Check for free movement of the damper before installing housing cover and screws.
9. Turn on power and check operation of the blower.
10. Top and side flanges of the back plate may be covered with trim strips. Do not block grille opening at bottom with trim. It will adversely affect performance of the blower.
