Installation
Step 1. Marking the Installation Hole
• From inside the
attic measure
down from the
roof peak 18-24"
and center this
spot between 2
rafters.
(Figures 5 and 6)
• Make sure there
are no wires or
waterlines in the
area to be cut.
• Drive a nail through
this mark into the
roof deck and
through the shingles
so that it can be
easily found on the
top of the roof.
(Figure 7)
• Locate the nail
protruding through
the roof and place
one of the holes
in the template
over the nail shank.
(Figure 8)
• With a colored
pencil use the hole
in the opposite end
of the template
to layout the
installation hole.
The result will be a
14" circle. (Figure 9)
Step 2. Cutting
the Installation Hole
• Drill a hole inside
the circle large
enough to insert
the blade of a
reciprocating
saw. Use the
reciprocating saw
to follow the circle
pattern for the
installation hole.
(Figures 10 and 11)
Note: Be careful not
to cut through any
rafters or framing members.
Before completing the entire cut, take
necessary precautions to ensure the area
being cut does not fall into the attic.
Step 3. Temporarily Remove
Shingles above Installation Hole
• Carefully remove
the shingles above
the hole starting at
a location as close
to the mid-point
of the hole as
possible. (Figure
12)
Note: The removed
Figure 5
shingles will be re-installed later.
Step 4. Final Positioning
• Apply a generous
amount of asphalt
rooi ng cement to
Figure 6
the bottom of the
solar fan l ashing
(Figure 13). We
recommend using
a rooi ng cement
meeting ASTM D
4586, Type I.
Figure 7
• Position the solar
fan directly over
the hole using
the "UP" label
as a guide for
orientation.
Figure 8
• Before securing
the solar fan to the
deck make sure
the fan is centered
over the 14" hole.
(Figures 14 and 15)
• Secure the solar
fan to the roof
Figure 9
deck using all 8
installation holes
and the steel
screws provided.
(Figure 16)
• Apply rooi ng
cement to the
screw heads.
Figure 10
(Figure 17)
Step 5. Re-install Shingles Removed
Earlier
• Re-install the
removed shingles
over the solar fan's
Figure 11
l ashing starting
at the fan and
working up.
(Figure 18)
• Use rooi ng
cement to seal the nail heads and any
open holes from old nails.
• Hand seal the replaced shingles with
rooi ng cement.
Reminder: Use an appropriate amount of
rooi ng cement, as an excessive amount can
cause shingles to blister.
Step 6. Adjusting the Angle of the
Solar Panel
• The optimal adjustment is to have the
solar panel face the sun at a 90° angle at
the midday path of
the sun. The panel
Figure 12
can be re-adjusted
during winter or
summer seasons if
desired.
• To adjust the
tilt of the panel
remove the screws
(Figure 19) on both
sides of the panel
Figure 13
assembly and set
aside.
• Lift the panel and
swing the panel
braces up to the
desired position
Figure 14
and re-attach the
screws at the new location (Figure 20).
Note: there are 3 positions to choose
from, including parallel to the panel's
tray.
Note: The solar panel is most effective
Figure 15 when clean and free of dust, leaves, and
debris. Normally rainwater will cleanse the
solar panel but if necessary hose off the
panel between rain showers. Do not use
any abrasive cleaners on the panel, this can
scratch and dull the surface.
Step 7. Adjusting the Rotation of
the Solar Panel on the Tray
• To rotate the
Figure 16
panel, loosen the
4 nuts marked "B".
(Figure 21)
• Rotate the panel
base to the
desired location
Figure 17
and re-tighten
the nuts. The
panel base can
be rotated up to
360° by removing
nuts "B", lifting
the assembly off
the bolts and
re-positioning
accordingly.
(Figure 22)
Figure 18
• Re-attach the nuts and tighten when
completed.
