Remove the four solar-panel screws and gently release the silicone seal to access the fan compartment. Photograph the original fan orientation and wiring before disconnecting it.

Mount the replacement fan against the inside wall in the same orientation and airflow direction as the original. Insert the four bolts from the flange side using a long driver while holding the locknuts inside the enclosure. Start all four fasteners before tightening them evenly. Do not overtighten.

Reconnect red to positive and black to negative. Secure the wiring away from the fan blade, restore the solar-panel silicone seal, and test the fan before returning the system to service.
