Installation Guide

Figure 1-3 below identifies common tilt angles and the unique combination of Pole
Channel span along with the Expandable Strut attachment point (a, b, or c) to the
Module Rail. Although other tilt angles are possible, these address the most
common angles.
The Expandable Struts
The Expandable Struts are a two-piece configuration, employing a series of holes
which allows the length of the Struts to be modified to align with the attachment
point (a, b, or c) of the Rails while supporting the desired tilt angle. To join the two
halves of the Expandable Struts, hold the Rail at the desired tilt angle, align the hole
patterns with the attaching hardware. See Step 5
for more detail.
and secure the two halves together
