Prepare for Mounting the Remote Blower System
The remote blower system must be fastened to a se-
cure structure of the roof, ceiling, wall, oor, or new or
existing frame construction. The 4 holes on either the
inlet (bottom) side or the outlet (top) side of the blower
must be used to mount the remote blower system to
the structure.
NOTE: The mounting hole locations must span the
studs. Additional stud framing may be required.
Plywood may be used to span open areas between
ceiling joists or roof rafters to aid installation. This
structure must be strong enough to support the weight
of the remote blower system (50 lb [22.6 kg] min).
