How do I install a bird screen on my GREENHECK 486001 exhaust fan?

[SanAngela]

Installing the bird screen on your GREENHECK 486001 Centrifugal Upblast Exhaust (sizes 300-480) is straightforward. Here’s how, referencing the Operation and Maintenance Manual: First, position a bird screen piece over the fan outlet, ensuring the screen end aligns with the horizontal support. Then, secure the bird screen using a bird screen clip at each horizontal support location. Use a #12 x 1-inch self-drilling fastener to attach each clip. Make sure the bird screen clip at the screen ends covers both bird screen ends. Other clips should cover at least two radial wires within the bird screen (see Figure 4 in the manual). For sizes 300 and larger, use two bird screen clips and fasteners per horizontal support. Remember to orient one of the two bird screen pieces under the existing breather tube, resting it against the horizontal support structures. This method ensures your GREENHECK 486001 exhaust fan functions correctly and safely, as per the manufacturer's guidelines.
