The extension lengths above are minimum recommendations only, based solely on roof pitch and fan diameter. Other factorsmust be evaluated when determining extension requirements. In addition, OSHA requirements state that the fan blades must be aminimum of 10 feet (3.05 meters) above the floor. Contact our technical department for assistance with fan placement and extensionselection (technical support contact information can be found on page 39).5 Copyright <strong>MacroAir</strong> 2013 macroairfans.com <strong>AirElite</strong> <strong>Installation</strong> <strong>Manual</strong>
