Assembling the Fan Panel

Locate the fan panel and mount the fans as shown in Figures 12 and 13 using 4-40 7/8” black flat head

screws and acorn nuts. Note that the appearance of the fans in your kit may differ slightly from those shown.

If you purchased the optional Stainless Steel screw kit, use the 4-40, 7/8” black flat had

screws and acorn nuts from the kit to mount the fans on the panel as described below.
Include a stainless steel interior tooth lock washer from the kit under each acorn nut.

1. Orient the fans with the side with the manufacturer’s label facing away from the panel.

2. The fans have leads with different lengths. Position them on the panel as shown.

3. As you tighten the acorn nuts, adjust the position of each finger guard so it is straight and aligned with

the fan opening.
