Blower Motor

NOTE: Your hood liner requires you to purchase either an internal type or an in-line (external type) blower motor system. See “Blower Motor System” in the “Accessories” section.

Prepare for Mounting the In-Line Blower System

The in-line blower system must be fastened to a secure structure of the roof, ceiling, wall, floor, or new or existing frame construction. The 4 holes on either the inlet (bottom) side or the outlet (top) side of the blower must be used to mount the in-line blower system to the structure.

NOTE: The mounting hole locations must span the studs. Additional stud framing may be required. Plywood may be used to span open areas between ceiling joists or roof rafters to aid installation. This structure must be strong enough to support the weight of the in-line blower system (50 lb [22.6 kg] min).
