SECTION 1
Preparing the Exhaust Fan
1. Unpack fan from the carton and confirm that all pieces are present.
In addition to the exhaust fan you should have:
1 - Grill
1 - Damper Assembly (attached)
2 - Mounting Brackets
4 - #10-32 Nuts
1 - Instruction/Safety Sheet
2. Choose the location for your fan. To ensure the best air and sound
performance, it is recommended that the length of ducting and the
number of elbows be kept to a minimum, and that insulated hard
ducting be used. Larger duct sizes will
reduce noise and airflow restrictions.
This fan will require at least 10
"
of
clearance in the ceiling or wall, and will
mount through drywall up to 3/4
"
thick.
3. Select the most convenient electrical
knockout and remove using a straight-
blade screw driver
(Figure 1).
SECTION 2

"
Centers Joists or Larger than 2x6 Joists on 16

(Figure 2).
Install the mounting brackets through the top set of
slots on the fan housing and secure in place with the four included
#10-32 nuts as shown. Position the fan housing between the
headers and secure the mounting brackets with screws or nails
