For convenience, it is advisable to pre-thread <br />or startthe bolt, lock washer and clamp into the sliding <br />insert prior to bringing them up to the roof. Slide the two <br />end clamps near the end of the support rail and install your <br />end module (first). Carefully square the module to the <br />frame and tighten the clamps using a 1/2" box wrench-or <br />/ drive socket. DO NOT OVER-TIGHTEN, we recommend a <br />maximum torque of 12 foot pounds to prevent damage to <br />the module glass. After the first module is secured, slide <br />two inter-module clamp sets onto the first module. They <br />are designed to stay in place freeing you up to slide and <br />align the next module into place. Repeat this procedure <br />until all modules are installed onto the support rail. Upon <br />installation of the last module in the panel, install the mod- <br />ule end clamp to complete the installation. <br /> www.RoofTrac.com Page 4
