Installing the ERU under the eaves
The following illustration shows an under-the-eaves installation.
Follow these guidelines when installing the ERU under the eaves:
Make sure the wooden surface is structurally sound.
Do not mount the ERU on any type of aluminum or vinyl.
Do not mount the ERU on any type of composite material, such as fiber
board, particle board, or strand board.
Choose an alignment and pipe orientation that maximizes the distance
between the ERU and any partial obstruction including walls, eaves, or roof.
The clearance between the ERU body and any partial obstruction should be
at least 6 cm (2.4 inches).

WARNING:
Do not touch (or allow the ERU or any cabling or ladder to
touch) power lines, electric lights, and power circuits, as contact with them may be
fatal. Locate the ERU more than 6 m (20 feet) from overhead power lines. If any
part of the ERU comes into contact with a power line, call your local power
company. Do not try to remove it yourself.
