INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
CAUTION:
MAKE SURE POWER IS SWITCHED OFF AT SERVICE PANEL
BEFORE STARTING INSTALLATION.
SECTION 1
Preparing the Exhaust Fan
1. Unpack fan from the carton and confirm that all pieces are present. In addition
to the exhaust fan you should have:
1 - Grill
1 - Damper Assembly (attached)
4 - Mounting Rails
1 - Instruction/Safety Sheet
2. Choose the location for your fan. To ensure the best air and sound performance,
it is recommended that the length of ducting and the number of elbows be
kept to a minimum, the radius of each elbow be as large as possible for the
installation, and that insulated hard ducting be used. This fan will require at
least 8" of clearance in the ceiling or wall, and
will mount through drywall up to 3/4" thick. The
fan mounts between 16" or 24" on center joists
using the 4 provided mounting rails.
3. Select the most convenient electrical knockout
and remove using a straight-blade screw driver
(Figure 1).
4. No additional vibration deadening materials are
needed for this fan.
SECTION 2
New Construction
1. Install the side rails on the housing and position the housing next to the joist.
Line up housing so that it will be flush with the finished ceiling. Secure the
ends of the rails with screws or nails (not included) to the joists and slide the
housing into the final position (Figure 2).

SECTION 3
Existing Construction
1. Set housing in position between the joist and trace an outline onto the ceiling
material (Figure 3). Set housing aside and cut opening, being careful not to cut
or damage any electrical or other hidden utilities. Install the side rails on the
housing and position the housing in the previously cut hole so that it is flush
with the finished ceiling. Secure the ends of the rails to the joists (Figure 2).

SECTION 4
Ducting
CAUTION:
ALL DUCTING MUST COMPLY WITH LOCAL AND NATIONAL
BUILDING CODES.
1. Connect the proper size ducting (AK80LS, AK110LS - 4" round, AK80LS6,
AK90LS6, AK100LS6, AK110LS6 - 6" round) to the fan's duct collar (Figure 4).
Secure in place using tape or screw clamp. Always duct the fan to the outside
through a wall or roof cap. It is recommended that low restriction termination
fittings be used.

SECTION 5
Wiring
CAUTION:
MAKE SURE POWER IS SWITCHED OFF AT SERVICE PANEL
BEFORE STARTING INSTALLATION.
CAUTION:
ALL ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS MUST BE MADE IN
ACCORDANCE WITH LOCAL CODES, ORDINANCES, OR NATIONAL ELECTRICAL
CODE. IF YOU ARE UNFAMILIAR WITH METHODS OF INSTALLING ELECTRICAL
WIRING, SECURE THE SERVICES OF A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN.
NOTE: This unit includes a side access panel for wiring that does not require the
removal of the fan's blower assembly. If you choose to wire the unit from the inside,
you will need to remove the blower assembly and internal wiring compartment.
Both methods are equally effective.
1a. External Wire Compartment: Remove the wire compartment cover screw
and place cover in a secure place (Figure 5).

1b. Internal Wire Compartment: If the motor is already installed in the housing,
using a 7/16" socket, remove the two hex nuts holding the blower assembly
in place. Lift up on the assembly and slide it out of the tabs on the housing
(Figure 6). Remove the wire compartment cover screw and place the cover in
a secure place (Figure 7).
