GENERAL INSTALLATION NOTES.
Prior to installation of this equipment, use the cardboard wrapping to cover the solar cell to prevent fan operation
during installation. Secure the wrapping to the equipment with tape. Remove the cardboard as the final installation
action. The fan blade may pose a laceration risk should it operate during the installation process.
Also use part of the cardboard to cut a template for marking the roof cut out. This should be a 540mm square section
with a 400mm diameter hole in the centre.
