WARNING

Excessive Weight Hazard

Use two or more people to move and install external blower.

Failure to do so can result in back or other injury.

1. Discard any cardboard packaging from the blower wheel.

2. Attach the black plastic vent collar to the exterior blower using the four screws provided.

3. Remove the back cover, wiring box cover and electrical wiring knockout.

4. In the knockout, attach the U.L./CSA-listed strain relief.

Note: For most installations, it is recommended that the strain relief be installed so that it can be tightened from inside the exterior blower housing.

5. Reattach the wiring box cover loosely. It will be removed again in Step 2 of “Making electrical and vent connections.”

Follow the instructions for your type (wall or roof) installation.

WALL INSTALLATIONS

1. Choose a location on an outside wall where no wall studs, wires, pipes, etc. run through the opening area. A minimum distance of 24" (61 cm) from exterior blower to ground may be required depending on local code. Make sure to leave room for anticipated snowfall in your region.

2. Drill the guide hole in the center of the 11" (27.9 cm) diameter opening area.

3. Mark a 27-1/2" x 34" (69.9 x

86.4cm) rectangle on wall as indicated in FIGURE 1.

4. Cut a rectangular hole in the siding only. Do not cut sheathing. Nail down all siding ends.

5. Mark an 11" (27.9 cm) diameter circle around Guide Hole as indicated in FIGURE 1. Mark center of the 1-1/4" (or

3.0cm) diameter hole for electrical wiring as indicated in FIGURE 1.

6. Cut 11" (27.9 cm) diameter hole in sheathing. Drill the 1-1/4" (or 3.0 cm) diameter electrical wiring hole.

7. Run a large bead of caulk on the back side of the housing along the outer edge.

8. Center the exterior blower ring in the 11" (27.9 cm) diameter hole, making sure that the 1-1/4" (or 3.0 cm) diameter electrical wiring hole lines up with the hole in the wiring box.

9. Attach the exterior blower to wall using screws appropriate for your installation. All four holes in the back panel must be filled to prevent moisture that may get inside the exterior blower housing from leaking into the home.

10. Seal all around the mounting screw heads with caulk.

11. Go to "Making electrical and vent connections", Page 4.

ROOF INSTALLATIONS

1. Choose location on rear slope of roof that minimizes vent run. Avoid obstacles such as TV leads, electric lines, etc. If exterior blower top is level with roof peak, it will not be seen from street. Remember this location as you work from inside the attic.

2. Mark a point half-way between the rafters and drill a guide hole at this point.

3. From the outside, using the guide hole as a starting point, mark the rectangular cut-out as indicated in FIGURE 2. Remove only the shingles in this area.

4. Mark an 11" (27.9 cm) diameter circle around guide hole as indicated in FIGURE 2. Mark center of the 1-1/4" (or

3.0cm) diameter hole for the electrical wiring as indicated in FIGURE 2.

5. Cut out the roof boards along the 11" (27.9 cm) diameter circle. Drill the 1-1/4" (or 3.0 cm) diameter electrical wiring hole.
