Roof exhausters come with the motor and fan matched for upward exhaust. The fan blade should "cut" into the attic air when turning. Whole house type attic exhausters generally are belt driven and have a motor that is reversible. To reverse the motor remove the wiring plate. The back side of the wiring plate will have a diagram of how to reverse the rotation of the motor by changing wiring connections. Hope this helps.
