Adjusting the Solar Panel

The solar panel on your Attic Breeze solar attic fan may either be left down in 

the horizontal mounted position as received from the factory, or the solar panel 

bracket may be raised to pivot the solar panel toward the south in order to get 

better sun exposure.

DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN THE SET BOLTS!  You may damage your bracket if 
too much torque is applied to the set bolts.

Warranty Registration

YOUR WARRANTY MUST BE REGISTERED WITHIN 90 DAYS OF 
INSTALLATION.  Please visit our website at www.atticbreeze.net to
register your warranty.

Remove all packaging material and tape from your fan.  Position the fan so that it is centered with the vent hole and 

allow the control cable to hang freely from the bottom of the fan unit.  Locate the control switch (

red bag

) included 

with your solar fan, or if installing a Breeze Mate® control system, please follow the instructions included with that 

product at this time.  Plug the control switch (or Breeze Mate® cable) into the control cable 4-prong plug.  For models 

featuring a remote mounted solar panel, plug the power cable from the solar panel into the 2-prong plug on the 

control cable.

Step 4 - Mount the Fan

ATTENTION: 

 KEEP THE SOLAR PANEL COVERED DURING INSTALLATION.  

After the control switch is connected, your Attic Breeze solar fan may begin 
operating immediately when exposed to sunlight.

Caulk around the top of the roof curb box using the weatherproof sealant and 

position the fan over the roof curb (see Figure 3).  Align the fan unit with the 

vent hole so that the sticker "

INSTALL THIS SIDE TOWARDS GROUND

" is facing the 

correct direction.  The fan unit can also be turned 90 degrees from this postion 

to allow for better solar panel sun exposure if needed (ex. East or West facing 

roof orientation).

With all fan cables connected and hanging inside the roof curb, mount the fan 

unit over the roof curb box and flashing, securing the fan to the sides of the roof 

curb box using three self-tapping screws per side.  Apply additional sealant to 

weatherproof the installation as needed.

Attic Breeze offers an industry leading LIFETIME WARRANTY on your new solar 

attic fan.  For more information about the terms and conditions of our warranty, 

please see our website for details.  Thank you for choosing Attic Breeze!

ATTENTION:

 

 Do not raise the solar panel if installing this product in an 

area of either Florida or Texas that has been designated as a high velocity 
wind zone area.  The solar panel must remain in the flat horizontal position 
due to building code requirements.
