Fan Installation
WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK OR INJURY, OBSERVE THE
FOLLOWING:
(a) Use this unit only in the manner intended by the manufacturer. If you have any questions
contact the manufacturer.
(b) Before servicing or cleaning the unit, switch the power off at the 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.
(c) Installation work and electrical wiring must be done by qualified person(s) in accordance with
all applicable codes & standards including related construction.
(d) When cutting or drilling into wall or roof, do not damage electrical wiring and other hidden
utilities.
(e) CAUTION: For General Ventilating Use Only. Do Not Use To Exhaust Hazardous Or Explosive
Materials And Vapors.
(f) DO NOT USE with heated air in excess 140˚F (60˚C).
Select Fan Location
When selecting a location to install the SWF fan that has been chosen, take into consideration the
application of the product, the locations of fresh air intakes, and sound generated by the SWF unit.
The fan should be located a minimum of 6 feet horizontally and 8 feet vertically from any fresh air
intakes for HVAC systems, heat recovery systems, etc. to prevent exhaust air streams from being
re-introduced into the occupied space. Doors or windows that are frequently opened during pleas-
ant seasons may also be considered fresh air intakes so keep this in mind when selecting the
location of the SWF.
Mark and Introduce Required Holes
Once the location on the exterior wall where the fan is to be mounted has been selected, mark
all screw and hole locations utilizing the included template. Cut the holes through the wall for the
duct connection and for the electrical conduit. Measure the thickness of the wall and the length of
the duct connection that is supplied on the SWF fan. Cut a length of duct so that once connected
to the fan, will extend 2" through the wall.
If mounting the fan on a masonry wall, drill four holes and insert wall anchors. If mounting to
wooden structure, you will utilize wood screws to secure the SWF to the wall.
If the fan is to be mounted on a wall surface which is not flush such as lapped siding, a mounting
plate to provide for a flush fit needs to be made.
Mount the Fan
Insert electrical supply through the wall. Attach the duct extension to the SWF making sure that
the connection is secure. Apply a generous amount of exterior silicone caulk to backplate of
the fan to ensure an airtight/waterproof connection between the fan and the wall surface. If a
mounting frame is used in conjunction with lapped siding, be certain to apply a generous amount
of caulk between the frame and the wall as well as the fan backplate and the frame. Mount the fan
to the wall.
