Before beginning the installation of your new solar powered roof ventilator, please read the instructions carefully and contact us if you have
any questions. [email protected] or Ph: (03) 9768 5777
For optimum performance, position the solar ventilator in a north facing position on an area of the roof where it is not shaded or blocked.
This will ensure the solar device can capture all available sunlight throughout the day.
For your safety we recommend that you always use appropriate safety equipment when working on your roof. Ask for assistance whenever
attempting any heavy lifting.
Use a tape measure to mark cut-out area on your roof.
(350mm x 350mm Recommended for KSV200 Model).

Remove any existing fasteners from the marked vicinity.
The unit flashing will install under the ridge-cap -so remove any
fasteners above your desired location.
Cut marked cavity to desired size leaving battens intact.
Depending on the distance between your battens, a secondary
batten may need to be introduced to offer additional support for
the ventilator unit.
Identify the turn-up fold in the metal flashing on one edge of the
Solar Ventilator unit. This is the bottom. The unit should be posi-
tioned with this fold at the lowest point of your desired location.
Place unit over your cut-out ensuring the turn-up fold is at the
bottom. Slide top unit flashing up underneath your ridge-cap. If
necessary, mark drill holes on flashing to allow return of original
ridge-cap fasteners. Also mark desired holes to secure into roof
battens below.
Once ready to fit, return unit under ridge cap to desired position
-secure fasteners (or same type) back in place and into battens.
Use silicon around exposed edges to seal.
Depending on your setup, you may need to alter the unit flashing
in order to return your ridge cap to it's original flush position
(During step 3 installation - read first). You may need to cut/grind
up to 50mm away from the folded outer edge on the vertical left
and right hand side, at the TOP of the ventilator flashing. The
cut-away amount will vary for different ridge-caps but you ideally
cut just enough to ensure you can slide the unit underneath and
out of the weather, while remaining flush to the metal deck roofing.
