INSTALLING PLENUM

Depending on building construction, it may be necessary to notch out a section of the floor joist to provide proper clearance for the
SideShot motor.

1. Attach Template B (Page 20) to the floor joist that is to be notched, aligning the sight line noted on the template with the end or

the outside casing of the vent hood.

2. Cut out notch on line shown on the template.

NOTCH BRACING

It is recommended and local codes may dictate that the joist be
reinforced as outlined below. Bracing of the rim joist is not
necessary.

1. Cut two 2 x 4 pieces of wood 71 cm (28 inches) in length.

2. Center both pieces on each side of the floor joist above the notch and

drive 8 16D or larger nails into each piece, (See Diag. H)
