Screw on the post.

Apply a bead of sealant around the area where the

cone  ashing meets the post.

Additional Tips for Installing Mounts on a Slate Roof:

n If you have access to the underside of the roof, you can provide solid blocking at the location of

the mount.

n It is possible that the roof is sheathed with solid wood boards that are thick enough to hold the

mounts. It is important to verify the thickness, condition, and structural integrity of the wood

you are attaching to and to consult an engineer licensed in your state to determine the bolting

requirements.

n It can be di cult getting the  ashing over the nails of the  rst course of slate. Helpful hint:

slide the slate ripper up to or past the nail, then slide a piece of standard steel  ashing over the

slate ripper, allowing the slate ripper to guide the steel  ashing over the nail. Then remove the

slate ripper, slide the aluminum cone  ashing into place and remove the steel  ashing.

n Walking directly on a slate roof can break the slate. The most common way to distribute a

person's weight is to lay a ladder on the slate roof and walk on the ladder. Be sure to secure the

ladder so that it cannot slip or fall.

Install the EPDM rubber counter  ashing over the

post, and attach all the remaining hardware (items

7-10) on top of the post for safekeeping until the

racking is ready to install.

Slide the  ashing over the QBase and under the

slate above. Make sure you get up and under the

3rd course of slate.

You are now ready for the rack of your

choice. Follow all the directions of the

rack manufacturer as well as the mod-

ule manufacturer.

All roo ng manufacturers’ written

instructions must also be followed

by anyone modifying a roof system.

Please consult the roof manufacturer's

specs and instructions prior to touch-

ing the roof.
