WARNING

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY TO PERSONS, OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING:

1. Use this unit only in the manner intended by the manufacturer. If you have questions, contact the
manufacturer at the telephone number listed at the bottom of this page.

2. Installation work must be done by a qualified person(s) in accordance with all applicable codes and
standards.

3. When cutting or drilling into the structure, do not damage electrical wiring and other hidden utilities.

CAUTION

1. For general ventilating use only. Do not use to exhaust hazardous or explosive materials and vapors.

2. To avoid motor bearing damage and noisy and/or unbalanced impellers, keep drywall spray,
construction dust off power unit.

3. This unit has an unguarded impeller. Do not use in locations readily accessible to people or animals.

4. Your attic fan installation will create a screened opening into your attic space. During a heavy
rainstorm there could be a light spray of rain into your attic space. This is a normal condition with all
attic ventilators and will not cause any damage to the structure. We recommend you do not store any
valuable articles directly under the fan opening in the roof.

5. Please refer to specification label on the product for further information and requirements.

Location and Procedure for Self-Flash Solar Fan

Determine the sun’s best exposure location on your roof barring shade (trees, other buildings etc) at
4:00pm in the hottest month of the year. Generally, we recommend a point located centrally on the south,
southwest, or west side of the home. At the highest point on the roof, 24”-36” on ctr. off the ridgeline. If
multiple fans are required then evenly split the difference. We recommend removing the cardboard cover
first to make sure the fan is operational, and then replacing it for safety during installation.

SDF-Self Flash Installation

Composition Shingle Roofing –retro fit.

1. Measure from the Mid-point on the ridgeline, approximate 24”-36” on center. Mark the spot and

drill a hole, using a jig/reciprocating saw, cut a 13 1/2 inch round hole in the roof (making sure
NOT to cut rafter).

2. Fan preparation:

a. Remove the top assembly of the solar fan by removing the four (4) S.S. 5/16 sheet metal

screws on the base. The top will separate easily from the bottom. This will leave the base
assembly separate for installation.

3. Tools required for the next step will be: a flat bar, utility knife, silicone for roofing.

Shingle preparation.
Simply loosen the course of shingles located at the half-way point of the hole (this may require
the removal of some nails) and slide the base assembly up underneath the shingles and notch
them as needed. This will require the use of a flat bar. Remove the base assembly and apply a
large bead of silicone on the bottom side of base in the perimeter groove molded into the base.
Make sure the Arrow on the fan base is pointed toward the roof peak. Carefully reinstall base
back underneath the shingles and align the hole on the decking and the base. Nail the base
down in several places and replace the shingles (use roofing adhesive/caulking to reseal the
shingles as needed).Make sure to silicone any exposed nail heads. Replace the top vent
assembly and the 4 screws. Remove the cardboard over the panel.
