6 5 Open the assembly until bi-fold center brace (s) is straight, ensure holes are lined up for securing 7 Place T23 Bolt into predrilled hole by bi-fold hinge ensuring it is lined up with the predrilled hole below and tighten. 8 Locate all squaring arms; connected to the underside of cross brace, rotate them out to the point where they naturally land on the top of rail.
12 11 Before we secure rail (s) into roof we must be aware of a few things. First, anchor bases will always point up to the peak of the roof. Secondly, placement of preinstalled anchor bases may need to be relocated (depending on rafter spacing on roof being installed onto and wind and snow load capacities) . Preassembled anchor base spacing is set for 24” on center. Now is the time to configure rafter spacing for proper installation of anchor bases onto rail to be lined up with the rafter spacing.
17 Once the rafter location is determined based on your installation layout configuration predrilled holes should be made with the 4 1/2” drill bit in the location where anchor bases will be installed into roof rafters. Note: Anchor bases may need additional adjustments off the rail before they line up with rafters. Start from the top work your way to the right, then below.
23 Starting from the top row, from left to right, place the #1 PV module in the portrait position and place the module onto the 1st RAQ unit (under panel clamps on start brackets ) and hold up on right side to attach PV to inverter cables. 25 Before securing the next set of panel clamps onto 1st PV bring in PV module # 2 onto the next RAQ unit to the right. Install just like #1; by setting and tilting left side of PV in portrait position under panel clamps, attach PV to inverter and set down.
