INSTALLATION

1. Unplug motor. Remove screw next to motor plug. Remove motor
and blower assembly. Store motor/blower assembly and grille in
carton until needed.

2. Choose the location for your fan. For best possible performance,
use the shortest possible duct run and a minimum number of
elbows. Position mounting brackets against joist so that bottom
edge of housing will be flush with finished ceiling. A handy measur­ing guide is embossed on the housing to make it easy. Mark the top
keyhole slot on both mounting brackets (FIG. 1). Set housing aside
and drive nails partially into joist at the top of both keyhold marks
(FIG. 2). Hang unit from nails and drive nails tight. To ensure a
noise-free mounting, drive another nail through the lower hole of
each mounting bracket (FIG. 3).

3. Wire unit following diagram (FIG. 4). Run electrical cable directly as
possible to unit. Do not allow cable to touch sides or top of unit after
installation is complete. WARNING: Do not allow wires to hang over
edge of scroll band. Push all wiring up into corner of unit. Wire left
hanging over this edge will become pinched or severed when fan
assembly is installed. Electrical shock may result.

4.

Snap the damper/duct connector onto housing (FIG. 5). Make sure that
tabs on the connector lock into slots in housing. Top of damper/duct
connector should be flush with top of housing. Connect 4” round duct to
damper/duct connector and extend duct to outside through a roof or
wall cap (FIG. 6). Check damper to make sure that it opens freely. Tape
all duct connections to make them secure and air tight.

5. Slide motor/blower assembly into housing. Fasten motor plate with
screw removed in step 1. Plug in motor.

6.

Squeeze ends of spring fastener together and insert fastener into slot
provided in motor plate. NOTE: If desired, rotate grill 90° and move
springs to optional tabs (FIG. 7). Push grille up to ceiling (FIG. 8).
