2. Before servicing or cleaning unit, disable the ventilator by

covering the solar panel with cardboard taping it to the unit to

prevent motor from running. Then disconnect the wires from

the motor terminals (note wire locations before disconnecting

so wires may be re-connected in the proper location).

accordance with all applicable codes and standards, including

ﬁre-rated construction codes and standards.

4. If removing an existing 120 VAC powered attic ventilator, use

only a qualiﬁed person(s) to remove any electrical wiring in

1. For general ventilating use only. Do not use to exhaust

hazardous or explosive materials or vapors.

2. To avoid motor bearing damage and noisy and/or unbalanced

impellers, keep drywall spray, construction dust, etc. off the unit.

3. This unit has an unguarded impeller. Do not use in locations

readily accessible to people or animals.

4. This ventilator operates when the solar panel is exposed to sunlight.

To reduce risk of injury while installing, servicing or cleaning unit,

cover the solar panel with cardboard then disconnect the wires

from the motor terminals (note wire locations when disconnecting

so wires can be re-connected in the proper location).

5. Your attic fan installation will create a screened opening into

your attic space. During a heavy rain storm there could be a

light spray of rain into this attic space. This is a normal condition

with all attic ventilators and will not cause any damage to the

structure. Do not store any valuable articles directly under

the fan opening in the roof.

6. This ventilator is intended for side wall installation. Other

TAMKO models are available for roof applications.

7. Please read specification label on product for further

information and requirements.

8. When working with asphalt shingles in cold weather (below 40°F),

take care to avoid damage to the shingle edges and corners.

9. Inadequate ventilation of attic spaces can cause accumulation

of moisture in winter months and build up of heat in the summer.

These conditions can lead to:

(i) Vapor condensation

(ii) Deterioration of insulation, wood and other construction

materials

(iii) Mold and mildew

(iv) Ice damming on the roof

To help ensure adequate ventilation and circulation of air, this

ventilator is designed with recommended open air inlet of 4.25

square feet using sofﬁt vents with direct access to the attic.
