Step 5: Install the Module Rails on the Rail Brackets
Module Rails run in an E-W direction and are secured to the Rail Brackets using
3/8” x 1” bolts and hardware. There are four Module Rails to install.
Module Rail orientation is dependent on location. Follow these instructions
carefully for the correct orientation. (See Figure 5-1)

A. Referring to Figure 5-1 for orientation of the Module Rails, position the first
section of Module Rail on the Rail Bracket. Align the Module Rail mounting
holes with the holes of the Rail Bracket and secure with 3/8” x 1” bolts and
hardware. Finger-tighten for now. (See Figure 5-2)
WARNING:
This is a two
person activity.
Module Rails are
unstable before
they are fully
secured to the
Rail Brackets.
Module Rails must
be held in place
by one person
while the second
person aligns and
secures them to
the Rail Brackets.
Failure to do so
could lead to
personal injury.
NOTE:
Be certain that the
orientation of the
Module Rails to the
Rail Brackets
match these
instructions.
