SM STANDARD RAIL: Use
either slot to connect
the L-foot to the rail to
obtain the desired height
and alignment when
using SM Standard rail.
SM LIGHT RAIL: For a lower prole array when using
SM Light rail, rotate the L-foot to orient the side with
only one (1) slot against the rail. Only use the slot
location closet to the rail to connect the lag bolt to
the ashing / roof on the side with two (2) slots.
NOTE: Use only the top slot to connect the L-foot to
the rail to obtain the desired height and alignment
when using SM Light rail.
ALIGN POSITION INDICATOR: Hand
tighten nut until rail alignment is
complete. Verify that position indicator
on bolt is vertical (perpendicular to
rail)
TORQUE VALUE (See Note on PG. A)
3/8” nut to 30 ft-lbs
ALIGN RAILS: Align one pair of rail
ends to the edge of the installation
area. The opposite pair of rail ends
will overhang installation area. Do not
Trim them off until the installation is
complete. If the rails are perpendicu-
lar to the rafters, either end of the rails
can be aligned, but the rst module
must be installed at the aligned end.
If the rails are parallel to the rafters,
the aligned end of the rails must face
the lower edge of the roof. Securely
tighten all hardware after alignment
is complete.
Mount modules to the rails as soon as
possible. Large temperature changes
may bow the rails within a few hours if
module placement is delayed.
