Install & Users Guide
LeafBlasterPRO is a stainless steel micro mesh gutter guard that installs on
any gutter and roof configuration. Its pa-tented V-Bend Technology in the mesh
allows for adaptability on any gutter-to-roof installation. Below are a few
roof type examples. Additional information available at
LeafBlasterPro.com. 
Important information in freezing condi-tions to share with
customer:
The following issues can occur with a gutter guard that are installed in areas
that are prone to freezing.
ICICLES & ICE DAMS can form on your gutter during freezing conditions. Ice
dams can cause water to leak back into your home. Icicles can break and cause
serious bodily harm.
SNOW MELTING and running down your
roof can run off the side of the gutter and refreeze on the ground below.
Water frozen on surfaces can create slipping hazards and cause serious bodi-ly
harm.
STEP 1: Choose your gutter and roof configuration
Select the diagram below that best resembles the gutter and roof scenario.
This determines whether you slide the gutter guard under the roof shingles or
bend the mesh up or down and fasten to the fascia. The diagrams all refer to a
roof shingle and gutter, they imply ALL shingle and gutter types.
Roof Shingle
| Asphalt | Standing Jock seam |
|---|---|
| Flat tle | Wood shake |
| Spanish tile | Membrane |
| Villa tile | Stone coated steef |
| Fiat roof | Corrugated steel |
Gutter
| Ogee | Fascia |
|---|---|
| Curved | Haif Round |
Traditional gutter and roof:
Gutter guard slides under shingles.
Gutter hung tow, or a flat roof:
Bend mesh either up or down, whichever is more convenient, then fasten to the
gutter or fascia with screws.
Steep roof:
You may have to bend the mesh up to slide it under the roof, or you could bend
it down and fasten to the gutter with screw:
INSTALL TIP: 3 setf-tapping screws per 4 foot section (Additional screws
may be needed for back extrusion).
Roof
Ramping: If the gutter guard causes the shingles to ramp up, then bend the
mesh down and then slide back under the shingle. You can also follow the
options on Diagram B. This can occasionally happen on a low hanging gutter.
STEP 2: The Basics
JOINING SECTIONS
Trim off the mesh that extends past the frame on the front rail Overlap
sections together on top of each other.
CUTTING SECTIONS
Cut front & back aluminum frame. Cut mesh. Snap in two.
INSIDE MITER
Trim off aluminum ends, exposing mesh. Tuck mesh down inside gutter adjacent
to adjoining miter.
OUTSIDE MITER
Bend one section down in gutter to allow room for adjoining section. Cut
adjoining section at 45 degrees.
END CAP
Trim off aluminum ends and then tuck mesh inside gutter.
STEP 3: Do not miss this step!
Follow these two rules so rainwater flows smoothly into your gutter and not
over the front edge of the gutter.
RULE #1
Remove gap: Make sure the front lip of the gutter guard is flat against
the front lip of your gutter to remove any gap.
RULE #2
Trough depth: The stainless steel mesh trough must be at least 118th of an
inch below the front lip of the gutter. It generally lays naturally like this,
but sometimes you need to push the mesh trough down just a little. This can
happen on steeply pitched roofs or gutters that are hung low (1 inch or
greater) below roofline.

How To Bend The Mesh
BENDING THE MESH
Bending the back of the mesh UP or DOWN allows it to be installed on many
types of roofs where the gutter is lowered or where the roofing material is
fastened down to the roof deck.
Bending UP
The mesh can be bent up for installing on lowered gutters or flat
roofs.
Bending DOWN
The mesh can be bent down for installing on roofing materials that are
permanently fastened to the roof deck.
