Approximate attaching/sealing time: 5 min. per attachment. <br />STEP 1: Select a tile in the area of <br />the roof rafter referenced by your <br />chalk lines. <br />STEP 2: Remove the tile by push- <br />ing and pulling the tile, usually held <br />in place by a small nail. <br />STEP 3: Using an electronic stud <br />finder locate the rafter center. <br />Mark a reference point on the tile <br />above. <br />STEP 4: Drill several holes (if nec- <br />essary) to locate the exact rafter <br />center. A 3/16” pilot hole drill bit is <br />recommended. <br />STEP 5: Insert the lag bolt and <br />washer through the TileTrac ® and <br />apply fresh sealant to the base. <br />Step 3a: Attaching / Sealing TileTrac® (Concrete Curve Tile Roof) <br />Alternate methods of finding rafter center (STEP 3): <br />1) Using a dead-blow hammer, lightly tap perpendicular to the rafter until a solid sound is heard. Mark this location. <br />2) If attic is accessible, driving a nail upward beside the rafter may provide an adequate reference point. <br />Roofing mastic/sealant <br />must be applied per <br />manufacturerÂ’s specifica- <br />tions. Mastic/sealant <br />should be fresh and <br />applied at room tempera- <br />ture, as necessary. <br />Date Modified: 09/12/07 <br />TileTrac <br />Installation Manual <br />® <br />STEP 1 STEP 2 STEP 3 <br />STEP 4 STEP 5 <br />2510 N.
