PREPARE THE INSTALLATION LOCATION
WALL 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.

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 blower 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 through the hole in the wiring box and secure it according to local codes.
