Installation steps for both s-curve and flat concrete tile* <br />STEP 1: Select a tile in the area of the roof rafter. STEP 2: Remove the tile by pushing and pulling. <br />It is usually held in place by a small nail. <br />STEP 3: Using an electronic stud finder (recommended), <br />or other means, locate the rafter center. <br />Mark a reference point on the tile above. <br />Step 4: Seal the initial tile nail hole.

Do not overtighten. The sealant should flow <br />outward sealing any holes. <br />Step 7: After bolting the base to the roof, slide the upper carriage <br />into the correct position under the crown of the tile. For Flat tile, <br />slide the upper carriage near the middle of the tile. <br />Step 8: Replace the tile by lining up the snap lines <br />and mark the drill location accordingly. <br />Step 9: Using a 3/8” carbide drill bit and ROTARY HAMMER <br />DRILL in hammer mode, drill through the tile.
