1. Locate the blower on the rear slope of the roof.

Place it in a location to minimize duct run. The
location should be free of obstacles (T.V. leads,
electrical lines, etc.). Bear in mind, if the blower top
is level with the roof peak, it will not be seen from
the street. Keep this approximate location in mind
as you work from within the attic.

1. Choose a position on the outside wall. Make sure

that no wall studs, pipes or wires run through the
opening area.
