recommended to wear safety glasses and gloves.
8. During extreme weather events including snow storms, ensure
that the intake area for the outside air duct is not blocked and
able to provide a clear pathway for outside air to enter the
system.
9. When cutting or drilling into wall or ceiling, do not damage
electrical wiring or other hidden utilities.
10. When notching or drilling into framing including floor supports,
rim joists, and wall studs, comply with code and manufacturer
limitations on allowable modifications to these structural
members.
