frame or bearing plate to lift and place the unit on
top of roof curb. Refer to Figure 2, page 2.
5. On direct drive fans, lift and place the unit on top
of roof curb using hooks under the lip of the shroud.
Refer to Figure 1, page 2.
6. Secure fan to curb using a minimum of eight lag
screws, metal screws or other suitable fasteners.
Shims may be required depending upon curb
installation and roofing material.
7. Verify power line wiring is de-energized before
connecting fan motor to power source.
8. Connect power supply wiring to the motor as
indicated on the motor nameplate or terminal box
