3.
From below, place the cut-out template on the ceiling, making sure that you have at least 2 inches of clearance all around it. While holding the template in place, mark its outline with a pencil.
4.
Using a drywall saw or similar device, cut out the hole in the ceiling.
5.
Open and unpack your
QuietCool
fan.
TIP:
If your attic is very tight, you may want
to wire your QuietCool motor housing before bringing it into the attic. Please follow the wiring diagrams that start on page 13.
6.
Take the main assembly, which includes the motor housing, damper box, and duct into the attic through the crawl hole and move into position near the ceiling cut-out hole.
If your attic access is far from your fan
location, you can remove the duct from the motor housing and pass the motor housing, duct, and damper box through the ceiling cut out hole and reattach the duct to the motor housing in the attic.
7.
Pre-screw two wood screws into the rafter almost all the way. Using the new hanger strap with eyelet holes, hang the motor head from the two wood screws and tighten the screws. Make sure that the handy box on the motor head is at the very top. Secure duct to damper box using three black sharp screws. Make sure the housing is angeled slightly up and the duct has a gentle 90 degree bend to help reduce noise level. The angle is important so the fan does not disturb any blown-in insulation in your attic.
NOTE:
Once your QuietCool fan is hung, it’s time to go below and install the damper box and
ceiling grille.
