See previous page. If adapter box mounting flange is outside the box, skip this procedure and continue with Procedure 3b. Complete these steps: 1. Measure fan and shutter and frame rough opening in end wall accordingly. (Frame tubing greater than 2" requires longer fasteners. Purchase locally if needed.) Tek screws are to secure to metal framing. Purchase different fasteners for framing that is wood or other material. 2. Set fan/shutter in place and install four (4) FA4482B Tek screws (one in each flange). Do not install in corners or in center position of any fan/shutter flange. These are mounting bolt positions. Support fan on outside if needed. See diagram at the lower-left of this page. 3. From inside the building, drill 3/8 holes for mounting bolts through shutter/fan flanges and frame in locations shown below (x's) for the correct fan size. Tek Screw Tek Screw Step 2 Tek Screw Step 3 Support Size 2' x 2': For kits that include 2' x 2' fans or shutters, drill a mounting hole near each corner: four (4) holes total. Size 3' x 3' or larger: For kits that include 3' x 3' or 4' x 4' fans or shutters, drill a hole in each corner and one between each corner as shown by 's in the diagram above: eight (8) holes total. Tek Screw WIRING NOTE: Read through this procedure and determine at what point you want to connect power to the fan. Run wire to the fan before installing the shutters, or complete this procedure and remove the protective wire grate from outside the fan. Connect wire and reinstall the wire grate.
