PREPARE THE
INSTALLATION LOCATION
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.). 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.
2. Mark and drill a guide hole centered
between roof rafters.

locate the top-left corner of the layout.
B. Starting from the top-left corner, mark
the rectangular cutout (21" W x 20½" H)
and remove only the shingles in this
area.
C. Mark an 11" diameter hole centered
on the guide hole. Cut this hole through
the roof board(s).
D. Mark and cut a 1¼" diameter hole
through
the roof
board(s)
