CAUTIONS AND CARE OF YOUR FANMATE
®
This product has been manufactured using prime UV stabilized Polymers for maximum toughness and durability. However, the use of caustic or solvent based chemicals can cause
cracking and product failure.
PLEASE CLEAN ALL PARTS WITH MILD SOAP AND WATER ONLY.
NOTE: Inspect the
FANMATE
®
cover and
EZ
Clips
or mounting
brackets twice a year to insure a safe and secure installation is maintained.
NOTE:
Most thermostatically controlled fan powered roof ventilators are designed to stop when contacting an obstruction such as a low tree branch, etc. This auto stopping feature is also used
for closing the roof vent and is a normal, designed-in feature. This auto stopping feature allows the installation of our
FANMATE
®
rain cover. When the vent lid automatically opens and contacts
the inside of the
FANMATE
®
cover it simply stops opening as it is designed to do. Then the fan, with its own separate motor, will start and run automatically.
Even though our
FANMATE
®
cover prevents the fan lid from fully opening, most RVers agree - the small reduction in air flow is a worthwhile trade off to keep their RV interior safe and dry.
