3. Install ventilator on roof or wall, with discharge (screened end) pointing down, according to STANDARD ROOFING

PROCEDURES. Note: Front discharge edge should be on top of shingles and rear and side edges under shingles. Note: Unit must be sealed between roof or wall and underside of flange with roofing mastic to prevent leaks. For installation

on a flat roof, or roofs with pitch of less than 1-1/2" in 12", install ventilator on curb as shown in Fig-3. Position curb on sloping roof with 2" dimension facing down slope. Position curb on flat roofs so that discharge (screened end) points away from prevailing wind.

4. Connect the ventilator to exhaust system with a 10" diameter metal duct only. Use 10" adjustable elbow to adjust to roof

angle. Tape and screw all joints to prevent air leaks. See Fig-4.

5. Remove top cover of ventilator to access wiring connections. Retain mounting screws.

6. Run electrical conduit per local code to conduit outlet in bottom plate of ventilator (use liquid tight connection). Other

end of conduit will connect to electrical box in your LYNX hood. See hood installation instructions for hood wiring location. See Fig – 6.

7. Run four (4) 16 ga wires in conduit (1-black, 1-white, 1-blue and 1-red) between the ventilator and hood. Check for

local code compliance. The ground wire should be 16 ga wire. See Fig-6 for wiring details. Check for local code compliance.

8. Dimensions of ventilator are shown in Fig-5.

9. When connecting the hood to power supply, replace the black-#12 wire and white-#13 wire on hood with the wires

supplied with the remote blower. Power supply for the LOHE plus hood requires a 120v, 20 amp, 60 Hz circuit, connected per local codes.

10. Rotate ventilator blower wheel to be sure it turns freely and does not rub on motor brackets. Check damper door to be

sure it moves freely and spring returns door to closed position.

11. Check screen guard to be sure it is in position and secure. Check for removal of shipping bracket.

12. Replace cover removed in Step-4 and secure with screws provided. All screws must be in place on cover.
