General safety information
♦ Installation may only be carried out by adequately qualified persons, details see Table 1 Qualifications, page 2.
♦ Move the rotor of the fan by hand before you install it in order to check that it moves freely.
♦ Provide contact and intake protection and ensure safety distances according to DIN EN ISO13857 and DIN 24167-1.

and fixed under the base plate of the roof fan, see below
picture.
Important
Leaking duct system.
♦ When installing the roof fan and accessories all mounting
surfaces have to be sealed air tight.
