Prior to the Installation:
Tools Required:
• Safety Goggles
• Stud Finder
• Measuring Tape
• Drill w/Phillips Bit
• Marking Pencil
• Flat Pry Bar
• Utility Knife

• Screws (Provided)

Set Up Note:
Prior to installation, please check the cabling for the thermostat (thermoball).
Please be careful to ensure the wiring is properly placed in the wiring channel
and the sliding clip is secure. If it is not properly placed, the cable can be damaged,
cut or become tangled into the motor. We recommend utilizing a piece of heavy duty
tape to secure the clip to ensure it will not move over time. See images to the right.
Step 1: Measure and Cut the Hole
On either 24” or 16” center construction, we recommend cutting a 15” round hole between the rafters. We recommend installing
the SR1800 between the rafters but if not possible it is OK to install the SR1800 over a rafter.
Step 2: Insert the Flashing
Once the hole as been made, trim away shingles as needed to accommodate the metal base flashing so that you have a clean and
tight fit. Normally, if you cut a clean 15” hole, we recommend trimming away from the top rows of shingles an additional 1” (one
inch) to allow the base flashing to slip under the top row(s) of shingles and over the bottom row(s). Slip the flat metal base under
the top rows of shingles and center the unit over the opening. The base is square so it does not matter which side is installed first.
Before attempting to slide in the flashing, remove any roofing nails or other obstructions. Avoid scratching the powder-coating.
Improperly Cabled
Properly Cabled
Installing an attic fan is fairly easy but Solar Royal, LLC recommends that if you have
no experience working with these materials or are not familiar with working on a
roof, you should hire an insured and bonded professional to install anything on your
roof, including a solar attic fan.
