Instructions / Assembly

Next we must locate the roof raers. An industry stand-

ard way to locate roof raers is to ulize a hammer and

strike the roof while listening for sound dierences.

If the raer is missed when predrilling minor adjust-

ments can be made to properly locate the raer, these

small adjustments will be protected by the anchor foot

ashing to be installed later or you can use roong caulk

to seal the unused hole.

If combining RAQ’s into a row now is the me to inter-

connect the rails. (If you are only building a stand-

alone unit you may move on to next step) Connect to-

gether by sliding male end into female end of rails.

Tighten aached bolts completely with a driver and

1/2” socket. As many as 18 PV’s can be assembled in a

row before you must start a new row. (Only 1 start

bracket kit needed per row).

A second row requires there is proper spacing between

rows, (generally 27” when using the standard 60 cell

panel)

Keep in mind: The preposioned slot available on the rail

allows for up to 3” of adjustment of the anchor foot le

or right, to compensate for most of all adjustments due

to roof raer spacing. Placement of the bolt for securing

onto rail always goes in lower slot.

Keep in mind: The anchor bases also allow for vercal

adjusts to compensate for variances in roof levels,

while maintaining minimum height distance from roof

to the boom of the solar panel

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 prein-

stalled anchor bases may need to be relocated

(depending on raer spacing on roof being installed

onto and wind and snow load capacies) . Preassem-

bled anchor base spacing is set for 24” on center.

Now is the me to congure raer spacing for proper

installaon of anchor bases onto rail to be lined up with

the raer spacing. Predrilled holes are placed along the

rail based upon, 16”, 24”, 32”, 48’, even 72” & 96” spans

are available. If raer spacing does not line up with the

preassembled holes available feel free to drill a hole (s)

using cold rolled drill bit . Keep in mind this reduces self-

leveling abilies so please ensure placement before hole is drilled.
