Prepare The Installation Location - Viking DEV1200 Instruction Manual

PREPARE THE INSTALLATION
LOCATION
ROOF INSTALLATIONS
1. Locate the ventilator 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.). If
the ventilator 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.
2. Mark and drill a guide hole centered between roof
rafters.
