WARNING

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK, OR INJURY

TO PERSONS, OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING:

1. 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.

2. Before servicing or cleaning unit, disable the ventilator by cover-

ing the solar panel with cardboard or disconnecting the wires

from the motor terminals (note wire locations when disconnect-

ing).

3. Installation work must be done by a qualified person(s) in ac-

cordance with all applicable codes and standards, including

fire-rated construction codes and standards.

4. If removing an existing 120 VAC powered attic ventilator, use

only a qualified person(s) to remove any electrical wiring in

accordance with all applicable 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 backdrafting. Follow the heating equipment manufac-

turer's guidelines and safety standards such as those published

by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), and the

American Society for Heating, Refrigeration and Air Condition-

ing 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.

CAUTION

1. For general ventilating use only. Do not use to exhaust hazard-

ous or explosive materials and vapors.

2. To avoid motor bearing damage and noisy and/or unbalanced

impellers, keep drywall spray, construction dust, etc. off power

unit.

3. This unit has an unguarded impeller. Do not use in locations

readily accessible to people or animals.

4. This ventilator operates when the solar panel is exposed to

sun light. To reduce risk of injury while installing, servicing or

cleaning unit, cover the solar panel with cardboard or discon-

nect the wires from the motor terminals (note wire locations

when disconnecting).

5. The recommended open air inlet for this ventilator is 4.25

square feet. The best location for these air intake vents are

under the eaves with direct access to the attic. Failure to pro-

vide these intakes could cause natural-draft gas appliances to

backdraft.

6. Your attic fan installation will create a screened opening into

your attic space. During a heavy rain storm there could be a

light spray of rain into this attic space. This is a normal condi-

tion with all attic ventilators and will not cause any damage to

the structure. We recommend that you do not store any valu-

able articles directly under the fan opening in the roof.

7. This ventilator is intended for roof installation. Broan Models

353 & 353SOBK Gable Mount Ventilators are available for

side wall applications.

8. The plastic ventilator dome and base may be painted with

high quality paint. Follow the paint manufacturer's recommen-

dations for acrylic and ABS plastic as appropriate. Take care

to avoid getting paint on the solar panel.

9. Please read specification label on product for further informa-

tion and requirements.

10. The installation instructions contained in this document are

only a recommendation and individual professionals may

have their own methods of installation. If your roof has an

existing warranty, installation of this product by anyone other

than those who installed the roof may jeopardize any future

warranty claim. Please check with the original installer of your

roof if this is a concern.
