Preparation for Roof Exhauster Installation
Before installing the roof exhauster, some preparation is required, utilizing the roof exhauster mounting
plate and the roof panels that span the roof exhauster mounting plate.
Before You Begin
Determine the location of the roof exhauster and set aside the roof panels that the roof exhauster mounting
plate will span.
What You Should Know
This procedure is to cut the exhauster airflow hole. Use the roof exhauster mounting plate as a template to
determine the correct location for field drilling and cutting the roof exhauster hole.
1. Position the roof panels (K) spanned by the roof exhauster mounting plate on the ground. Align the
roof panel holes as if they are installed on the bin.
2. Temporarily install the roof exhauster mounting plate (F) to the roof panels (K) using bolts (G) and
nuts (E), ensuring all holes are aligned and the teeth of the roof exhauster mounting plate (F) are nes-
tled in between two roof ribs. Also field drill all required holes (H) on the roof panels (K).
3. Using the roof exhauster mounting plate (F), mark or scribe the hole (I) to be cut.
Tip
If tabs are already bent, flip the mounting plate upside down to scribe the hole location.
