Step 8 - Replace the shingles
Use a framing square to cut the replacement shingles to size. (g. 34) Generally, you will want to ret each row so that they
overlap the ashing up to 1/2 inch from the inner edge of the dome frame as shown in (g. 35) Trim excess material from
shingles so they can t all around with the same 1/2 inch gap. (g. 36) Use roong nails and adhesive to re-attach the shingles.
For ideal t and nish, we recommend covering the ashing with shingles leaving only the bottom center area of the ashing
exposed as shown. (g. 37)

Step 9 - Secure the ex tube to
the diffuser housing
Gently maneuver the ex tube through the diffuser housing
making sure not to force it over the retaining band screw posts.
(g. 38a) (g. 38b) You will need to compress the ex tube
inward to clear each screw post as you pull it down.
(g. 39) It is important to not puncture the ex tube as you
go through this step.
Pull the tube down through the housing until it is fully
extended. It is important to pull the ex tube as tight as
possible for the best light transmission. (g. 40)

Retaining band and hardware
Once the ex tube is in the desired position, poke the 3 retaining band screw posts through the ex material so they are exposed,
then compress the retaining band and insert it into the ex tube. (g. 41) Attach the center hole of the retaining band onto one
of the screw posts. (g. 42) Overlap the outer slots of the retaining band and attach to the corresponding post. Then hand the
remaining slot onto the remaining post. (g. 43) Carefully attach the retaining band hardware to each post and tighten with pliers or
an adjustable wrench. (g. 44)
