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.
