Step 1 – Open crates and separate parts

Open the shipping crates and separate the parts according to the size of the unit, refer to Figure 1.

Step 2 – Place BASE ENDS and BASE SIDES

Place the two base ends and the two base sides in their approximate relationship to each other, see Figure 2.

Fasten together using three 1/4-20 fasteners per corner for 5 inch high base and four 1/4-20 fasteners per corner

for 12 inch high base.

NOTE: Fasteners should be hand tightened only until Step 4.

On some units where the difference between the hood width and throat width is greater than 32 inches, a

reinforcing plate is required in the corners of the base, refer to Figure 2, Detail A.

Step 8 – Assemble HOOD PANELS to HOOD RAIL ASSEMBLY

Assemble hood panels to hood rail assembly. The hood end assembly with the “male rib” is to be installed ﬁrst, see

Figure 7, Detail E. Place the remaining hood panels in place, interlocking panels as you go, see Detail E. Secure each

hood panel to the hood rail assembly as it is put in place, using four 12 x 3/8 inch sheet metal screws with sealing

washers per hood panel. The hood end assembly with the “female rib” is to be installed last.

NOTE: Hoods over 9 feet wide are supplied with special hood clips. See Detail F. hood panels have predrilled holes

for hood clip installation. Install clips as hood panels are being put in place, using one 12 x 5/8 inch sheet metal

screw with sealing washer per hood clip. To install clips in the last panel, leave the end birdscreen assembly out to

provide access to the underside of the hood. The end birdscreen assembly can be easily replaced after the hood is

completely assembled.

Step 9 – Tighten fasteners

Tighten all pivot bracket fasteners. NOTE: There may be extra fasteners.

Step 1 – Open crates and separate parts

Open the shipping crates and separate the parts according to the size of the unit, refer back to Figure 1, page 1.

Step 2 – Place BASE ENDS and BASE SIDES

Place the two base ends and the two base sides in their approximate relationship to each other, see Figure 2. Fasten

together using three 1/4-20 fasteners per corner for 5 inch high base and four 1/4-20 fasteners per corner for 12 inch

high base.

NOTE: Fasteners should be hand tightened only until Step 4.

Step 4 – Tighten fasteners and caulk all inside corners

Tighten all fasteners. Caulk all inside corners where the base sections come together.

NOTE: Depending on the size of the hood it may be easier to assemble unit on the ground and lift to the roof

assembled. This is due to the self tapping screws that need to be fastened down the center of the hood.

IMPORTANT: Do not climb on top of hood to fasten screws in the center of the hood.

NOTE: For easier assembly and lifting elevate hood rail assembly on blocks.

Lay out hood rail assembly and hood end angles, see Figure 6. Install thread cutters (hardware kit # 415041 - 5/16-

18 x 1 in.) from underneath, ﬁrst through hood end angles and second hood rail assembly.

NOTE: Use a builders square to ensure the corners of the frame are as close to 90º as possible.

Step 8 – Install HAT CHANNEL

Place diagonal end panel supports with the formed angle running the length of the part facing out and slots next

to hat channel. Fasten diagonals with whiz nut (hardware kit # 415456). Leave wiz nuts snug and DO NOT tighten.

Lift hat channel into place. The diagonals will support the hat channel as it is being installed. Use thread cutters

(hardware kit # 415456) to attach the hat channel to the diagonal end panel supports. Tighten wiz nuts.

Step 10 – Install HOOD PANELS to HOOD RAIL ASSEMBLY

Place the next hood panel by interlocking each panel as shown in Figure 7, Detail E. Secure each hood panel to

the hood rail assembly as it is put in place, using four #12-14 x 1 inch self-tapping screws (hardware kit # 415450)

to attach the hood panel to the hat channel. Use four #12-11 x 5/8 sheet metal screws (hardware kit # 417467) to

attach the hood panel to the hood rail assembly. Using quantity 10 sheet metal screws (hardware kit # 416900) with

sealing washers per hood panel. Place the remaining hood panels in place with the hood end assembly with the

female rib is to be installed last as shown in step 9.

IMPORTANT: Do not drive sheet metal screws all the way through both sides of the ribs as this could allow water to

leak through the hood. Screws are to fasten only the ﬁrst 2 layers of the rib joint.
