Installation Instructions
It is suggested that you prepare the opening prior to bringing the fan up on the roof.
Always secure the fan on the roof to avoid injury or having the fan slide off the roof and get damaged.
Step 1 - Ventilation
To maximize the solar fan’s effectiveness you should remove or block any rooftop static vents or
ridge vents. If there is an existing turbine type vent, simply remove the old vent and use the same
hole for the new installation, or block completely.
(fig. 1) Make sure you have proper intake ventilation
at the eave or fascia. Use a ratio of 1 sq. ft. of intake ventilation for every 600 sq. ft. of attic space.
Important Tip:
To properly close off any static vents, use tar paper and staples
as shown in
(fig. 2 & 3).
