- Steel toe work boots or safety shoes

- Ear protection (recommended)

- Power drill (cordless or powered with extension cord)

- 9/16” socket (for driving the screws)

- 61/4” hole saw or reciprocating saw (for duct holes)

- Drill bit (for pilot holes for wall/roof and aluminum mount)

- Measuring tape (for locating solar panel and finding the length of the duct When applicable)

- Level (for leveling the lower mount)

- Insulated 6” duct (R12 rated) and 18” long zip ties (for running through attics when applicable) and 2 - 6'' hose clamp.

- Caulking gun and sealant (UV/outdoor grade polyurethane or silicon)(for sealing the control wire, duct holes, collars,

THINGS TO THINK ABOUT...

- The best place to install your system is on a southern exposure roof, for optimal performance.

- We recommend avoiding any modifications to the system.

- Having clear sun exposure for the panel will increase performance. Try to avoid objects, trees, etc.

- Placing the panel in an easily accessible area will make maintenance tasks (such as cleaning) much easier.

- Think ahead. Make sure to place the panel in a way that you could add additional panels in the future.

- Most energy loss occurs in the windows. Placing the fan near these areas will decrease the furnace use.

- For better performance, set the solar thermostat 4 degrees higher than the furnace thermostat.

OUTSIDE DIRECTIONS

1)follow the slid show above and connect the lower panel ( the panel with the side inlet/outlet) to the upper panel (the panel without the side inlet/outlet) Slide one washer on each stud coming from the panel then place one turn buckle on each side of the panel and 2 in the back ,placing one washer and one nut on each stud total 8 per set.

2)Connect the stud to the mounting bracket, placing one washer and one nut on the stud

3) On the roof of the building, mark the general area where you would like to install the panel.

4) Take special precautions. Make sure:

- No electric wire or pipes are in the marked area from inside and outside

- No water pipes are in the marked area from inside and outside

- There is a power outlet available within in the area fan location

- The locations of all joists (wall studs) are clearly marked

5) mark the locations of the two 61/4'' inch inlet and outlet holes, and the eight screws for the mounting brackets (four on each side). Pay special attention to all marking making sure to mark the appropriate points.

6) Mark the location of the outlet and inlet inside of the building .

7) Drill the 61/4'' inch holes for the inlet and outlet ports.

8) Drill the holes for the mounting brackets 1' inch away from the marked location (if applicable) .

9) Screw in place the 4/8 mounting brackets to the roof /mounting system .

INSIDE DIRECTIONS

1) Seal the inlet and outlet .

2) follow fan and thermostat instruction

3) Place the pipe adapter in the inlet pipe (upper hole).

4) Place the inlet panel on the adapter. Screw it in place according to the instructions.

5) Operate the fan and thermostat according to the instructions provided.

PAINT FROM OUTSIDE

1) In the small bottle there is paint for the four mounting brackets ,paint the brackets using the brush in the bottle
