3.1 INSTALLING STEALTH PRO X WHF
Installing the QuietCool system is very easy. Simply follow the steps given below:
Determine from down below in which areas you would like to install your QuietCool fan. Go up into the attic to
mark the exact location for the fan. Make sure you have a minimum of 30" of clearance. Take the cardboard
cutout template and a small screwdriver with you. Make sure the template fits between the framing.
1. Open and unpack your QuietCool fan.
2. When you have chosen your exact spot, place the provided
template on the spot and mark it at each corner by pushing the
screwdriver through at each corner to make a hole so that you can
find it from below.
3. From below, place the cut-out template on the ceiling, making
sure that you have at least 2 inches of clearance all around it.
While holding the template in place, mark its outline with a pencil.
4. Using a drywall saw or similar device, cut out the hole in the
ceiling.
TIP: If your attic is very tight, you may want to wire your
! !
QuietCool motor housing before bringing it into the attic.
Please follow the wiring diagrams that start on page 13.
5. Take the main assembly, which includes the motor housing, damper
box, and duct into the attic through the crawl hole and move into
position near the ceiling cut-out hole.
TIP: If your attic access is far from your fan location, you can
! !
remove the duct from the motor housing and pass the motor
housing, duct, and damper box through the ceiling cut out hole
and reattach the duct to the motor housing in the attic.
6. Pre-screw two wood screws into the rafter almost all the way. Using
the keyholes on the straps, hang the motor head from the two wood
screws and tighten the screws. Make sure that the handy box on
the motor head is at the very top. Secure duct to damper box using
the duct clasps. Make sure the housing is angeled slightly up and
the duct has a gentle 90 degree bend to help reduce noise level.
The angle is important so the fan does not disturb any blown-in
insulation in your attic.
