This product has a limited-lifetime warranty when installed
in accordance with manufacturer’s written installation instructions.
STEP 1: Once you find the ideal location, make a hole just big enough to reach
inside the attic to make sure there are no roof beams or wires in the way. Use the
supplied template to mark the final hole centered between roof beams and cut
using a reciprocating saw. At the 9:00 and 3:00 o’clock positions of the hole, cut
two 5” long slits through the shingles and tar paper and pull or cut nails from slit to
slit towards the peak. Apply roof caulking to the bottom side of the roof flashing
and slide flashing underneath tar paper (Figure 1), centering with hole and securing
to the roof with (8) #8 x 2” self-tapping stainless steel or corrosion resistant screws
(supplied).
STEP 2: Once the flashing has been secured to the roof, mount louver ring onto flashing (Figure 2), and secure with (4) #8 x
½” self-tapping stainless steel screws(supplied; Figure 3).

STEP 3: Carefully mount fan cover over louver ring (Figure 4), and secure with (6) #8 x ½”self-tapping stainless
steel screws (supplied; Figure 5). You can now remove cardboard protection from Solar Panel. Use supplied roof
caulk to seal any loose shingles as well as areas where slitswere cut, around the top and shingles over the flashing.
STEP 4: Once your new Elite Solar Powered Attic Fan
has been installed, you may adjust the solar panel
(Figure 6) to receive the best direct sunlight for
optimal performance.
TILE ROOF INSTRUCTIONS: Remove several tiles and follow instructions same as on
STEP 1 for Shingle Roof installation, then unroll/unfold aluminum skirt with EPDM
material and install over flashing (Figure 7). Cut and replace tiles according to local
roofing codes. Use supplied roof caulk to seal where needed and follow STEPS 2and 3
of Shingle Roof instructions to complete installation.
FLAT ROOF INSTRUCTIONS: When the hole is cut, apply two concentric beads of supplied roof caulking to underside of
flashing. Center flashing with hole and secure to roof with (8) #8 x 2” self-tapping stainless steel or corrosion resistant screws
(supplied). Apply a 4” reinforcement fabric and high quality roof mastic (not supplied) around perimeter of flashing to double
seal any potential water leaks. Finish installation by following STEPS 2 and 3of Shingle Roof instructions.
