side channel of the rail as the step 9
shown.
b. Adjust the rail to be level.
c. Fasten the bolt.
Note: If necessary, use an angle
grinder or hammer to cut a concavity
in the tile that covers the roof hook at
the point where the roof hook comes
through. (Caution! Must not use fixed
roof hook as a ladder, as this extreme
point load could damage the tile

2. Connect the L bracket with rail by
T-module and tighten the bolt.
3. If you need, to connect multiple
rails together, slide the splices on the
rear side of the pre-assembled rails
halfway to the side. Fasten the first
M8 bolt firmly using the Allen key.
Now slide the next rail segment into
the splice. Tighten the second M8
bolt .The connection is finished.
