Additional tips and information for installing mounts:

n
It is not necessary or advisable to use nails or other fasteners to secure the perimeter of
the ashing.
n
The Classic Composition Mount is made to work with standard and high-denition composition/
asphalt and wood shingle roofs with 5" to 5-5/8" courses. If the exposed surface of the course
exceeds this measurement you may need to use our Classic Shake Mount instead.
n
Depending on the season and climate, size and location of seal tabs, and quality of the shingles,
the seal tabs that adhere the shingle courses together may not eectively seal the shingles to the
ashings. If this is the case, simply add several quarter-sized dabs of manufacturer accepted sealant
or asphalt roong cement, meeting ASTM D 4586 Type II, between the ashing and the shingle
above.
n
Mounts should not be installed in areas of the roof susceptible to ice damming. Water ponding
under the shingles can reach the bolt penetration.
n
Take care not to damage the roong material while working on the roof. Removing stone granules
and deforming the shingles in any way can shorten the lifespan of the roong. The value of the solar
array is directly aected by the condition of the roof it is attached to.
