Finger tighten onto "Tee" end plates, either the U-Bolts or aluminum flat bar and straight 1/2" bolts, whichever come with your mount. Place entire "Tee" assembly on top of post. The aluminum flat bar and straight 1/2" bolts are shown in Detail “A”. Slide cross pieces into U-Bolts or bolt and flat bar arrangement. Make sure locating lugs on cross pieces are facing in.

Page 5 of 8 Attach aluminum angle brackets to longitudinals with smaller square U-Bolts and whiz flange nuts. Oppose aluminum angle brackets as shown. Some mounts come with aluminum angle with punched holes for bolting on panels, and some come with aluminum extrusions which allow for panel attachment bolts or clips to slide in the "t-slot". Attach aluminum rails as shown. If rail ends are marked “TOP”, align them to the same end. General view of assembly.

Serrated flange nut Aluminum bracket Cross Piece Square Washer Longitudinal Bracket orientation in most installations is generally opposed to one another as in top picture. It may be necessary to have brackets facing in same direction as in bottom picture, if panel size is such that you need to do this to maintain a ¼” gap between panel ends on centerline.
