5. Mount Solar Panel... (Use only if mounting solar panel
on roof deck) Remove the included solar panel mounting
kit from the carton. The kit contains deck screws, (2) 1/4"-20
bolts, (2) nyloc nuts, and (2) "L"-shaped wings.
A. Mark "L"-shaped brackets & top rail
mounting holes... Attach the "L"-shaped wings loosely
to the short slots on side of panel mounting rail (Figure 5a).
Place unit on shingles so that fastener holes in "L"-shaped
wings and top of rails are at least 1.5" (38.1 mm) away
from exposed shingle edges to avoid possible weather
infiltration. Use a grease pencil or chalk to trace the outline
of the "L"-shaped wings on the shingles and also to mark
both top rail mounting holes.
B. Attach "L"-shaped brackets to roof... Once
you have marked the "L"-shaped wings and top rail
mounting holes, remove the "L"-shaped wings from the
solar panel frame and lay the panel aside. At the locations
previously traced, carefully pry the shingles and slide each
"L"-shaped wing under the shingles. Align both wings with
the visible portion of your traced outline. While lifting the
shingles, attach both "L" wings to the roof deck with a
provided deck screw (Figure 5b). Press the shingle back
down into place. Apply roofing cement or urethane sealant
under the shingles to seal them to the roof.
C. Attach top rail bracket... Carefully lift up the
shingles where the top rail mounting holes were previously
marked. Now, align the panel frame between the installed
"L"-shaped wings. Center the slots in the rails with the
mounting holes on the wings. Slide the top rails under the
raised shingles and attach each rail to the roof deck with
a provided deck screw (Figure 5c). Press the shingles back
down into place. Note: You may have to tilt the panel to
access the top rail mounting holes. Note: Apply roofing
cement or urethane sealant under the shingles to seal them
to the roof. Finally, re-attach the "L"-shaped wings to the
rails with the provided bolts and nuts and fasten them
securely (Figure 5d).
CAUTION: THIS FAN AUTOMATICALLY STARTS
WHENEVER THE SOLAR PANEL IS EXPOSED
TO A LIGHT SOURCE, OR ACTIVATED BY
AUTOMATIC THERMOSTAT FROM HOUSE
POWER. ALWAYS EXERCISE CAUTION WHEN
IN THE VICINITY OF THE FAN.
6. Adjust Solar Panel... When adjusting the solar
panel, be sure to tilt or rotate the panel to maximize
direct exposure to the sun. To tilt the solar panel, loosen
the two screw/nuts (Figure 6a) on the rail mount/linkage
connection. Then raise the panel to the desired location
and re-tighten (Figure 6b). To rotate the solar panel (for
hood mount installations only), loosen four wingnuts, rotate
panel to desired position, and tighten securely.
