reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not use this fan with any solid state speed control
device.

General Safety Information
NOTE: To comply with UL507, air circulator is not to be used in unattended areas.
1. Ensure that the power source conforms to the electrical requirements of the fan. All wiring
must be in accordance with National Electrical Code (ANSI/NFPA 70-1999).
2. Use this unit only in the manner intended by the manufacturer. If you have questions,
contact the manufacturer at the address or telephone number listed in the warranty.
3. Before servicing or cleaning unit, switch power off at service panel and lock the service
disconnecting means to prevent power from being switched on accidentally. When the
service disconnecting means cannot be locked, securely fasten a prominent warning device,
such as a tag to the service panel.
4. Installation work and electrical wiring must be done by a qualified person in accordance
with appliance codes and standards, including fire-rated construction codes and standards.
5. Sufficient air is needed for proper combustion and exhausting of gases through the flue
(chimney) of fuel burning equipment to prevent excessive low pressure and to prevent back
drafting. Follow the heating equipment to guidelines and safety standards such as those
published by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), and the American Society for
Heating, Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Engineers
(ASHRAE), and the local code authorities.
6. When cutting or drilling into wall or ceiling, do not damage electrical wiring and other
hidden utilities.
7. The wiring must be permanent. DO NOT USE EXTENSION CORD! Although the Powered
Gable Ventilator may be wired directly to power, we advise that some type shut off switch be
installed on the line. Please see the section on electrical wiring
for suggested wiring diagrams and instructions.
8. The fan should be mounted behind louvers or in a location where the entrance of drawn in
water is unlikely.

9. For general ventilating use only. Do not use to exhaust hazardous or explosive materials or
vapors.
10. To avoid motor bearing damage and noisy and/or unbalanced impellers, keep drywall
spray, construction dust, etc. off power unit.
11. Attach louvers or grilles when installing the fan.
12. Ensure that the power source conforms to the electrical requirements of the fan.
13. This fan is to be operated without guards in place to prevent persons and/or objects from
contacting the revolving propeller. Do not get close to the fan after turn on. It may create
unsafe conditions.
14. Fan is intended for general air circulation ONLY. It must NOT be used in potentially
dangerous locations such as flammable, explosive, chemical-laden, or wet atmospheres.
Keep a suitable distance from the louver when installed, since rain may create an electrical
hazard.
Do not attach ductwork to the fan.
15. Fan motor is equipped with an automatically resetting thermal protector that will
disconnect power if the motor overheats. Always disconnect power before inspection or
cleaning, as motor may restart unexpectedly.
16. In cases in which property damage may result from malfunction of the fan, a suitable
alarm (air switch, temperature sensor, etc.) should be used.
WARNING: Do not depend on any switch as the sole means of disconnecting power when
installing or servicing the fan. Failure to do so may result in fatal electrical shock.
WARNING: Do not insert fingers or foreign objects into the fan. Do not block or tamper with
the fan in any manner while it is in operation.
WARNING: Do not touch motor as it may be hot enough to cause injury.
WARNING: Unplug prior to servicing unit.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTION
WARNING: Turn off the wall switch prior to servicing the unit. To avoid personal
injury, wall switch must be turned off before servicing since the built-in thermal
protection may turn on the circulator automatically.
1. A gable mount ventilator is intended to be mounted in a gable wall. If your
existing gable vent is large enough, just mount the fan directly behind it. If the
gable vent is not big enough, you may need to enlarge the opening a little to
accommodate a slightly larger louver or automatic
shutter when needed.
2. Cut a piece of plywood to a size that will accommodate the attic framing that
surrounds the vent hole.
3. Cut the circle from the carton and position the cardboard template on
the plywood so the finished hole will be centered over the vent hole when the
plywood is secured to the wall. Trace around the template with a pencil.

4. Use a sabre saw to cut out the airway on the plywood for mounting the gable
mount ventilator.
5. Place the fan mounting bracket on the plywood, center the fan over the
opening and screw the bracket to the plywood.
6. Carry the Gable mount Ventilator and plywood assembly into the attic,
position it behind the shutter and screw it to the gable framing.
7. Connect the Black and White wire line out from the control box to the
electric lines controlled by a master On/Off switch as shown in the wiring
diagram.
