GENERAL INFORMATION
FWD 2 structures are complete systems of free-standing, ground-mounted support structures for
photovoltaic panels manufactured in our own machine park. Each PV structure consists of components made of
high-quality steel with Magnelis ZM310 and ZM 410 coatings, and it comes with an essential set of screws, nuts,
clamps and washers.
This assembly instruction is intended for the Buyer/User to get familiar with the structure, its operating
principle, storage and transportation guidelines, and correct assembly of the components.
1. STRUCTURE VARIANTS
2x4 2x6
2. SAFETY INFORMATION
Photovoltaic structures should be assembled by experienced and properly equipped professional teams only.
During the assembly, use and repair of products covered by this instruction, generally applicable occupational
health and safety regulations should be followed. It is therefore, among others, necessary to:
Wear personal protective equipment such as helmet and other types of protective clothes
Use ladders, scaffoldings and electric lifting equipment with proper certificates confirming their
usability
Secure the area in which there is work in progress against unauthorised entry
Have a valid medical certificate for working at heights.

ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTION
4
During works at heights, as well as while climbing and descending, there is a risk of falling. Follow
accident prevention rules and regulations strictly and use proper fall protection equipment.
While carrying out works related to the assembly of photovoltaic structures, your hand may get
crushed or injured on sharp edges. Wearing protective gloves is therefore recommended.
3. PRODUCTE USE
a. Maintenance
In order to ensure correct operation and a long useful time of the system, inspections should be carried
out on a yearly basis. Check whether the fastening screws and ordinary screws and bolts are tightened and in
the correct position.
Stepping on the structure and putting any other type of load on it is strictly prohibited.
Should you notice that any of the fastening components are loosened, secure the area around the
structure against unauthorised entry and perform a repair in compliance with OSH regulations and provisions of
the instructions.
b. Cleaning
In order to maintain the attractive appearance of the fastening structure, clean it regularly. Clean
components of the frame provide for a nicer look, longer durability and better functioning of the structure.
System components are best cleaned with water and sponge. However, neutral detergents may also be
used.
Do not use alkaline cleaning agents! The glass on the panels is sensitive to
alkaline substances.
4. PACKAGING, STORAGE,TRANSPORT
The products should be packed in an original BUDMAT package in a manner preventing the loss of any component
of the particular system. After receiving the delivery, please always check the product for its quality and possible lack of
components in the respective kit(s).
The vehicle transporting Magnelis-coated profiles should be adapted to this kind of transportation.

ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTION

Complete assembly systems are delivered to the recipient with protection against damage. The
completeness of the delivery as well as appropriate condition of the delivered profiles shall be confirmed in
writing by the recipient on the Stock Issue Confirmation or on any other equivalent document, on which
comments regarding the product, provided there are any, should be written down .
5. ASSEMBLY - GENERAL INFORMATION
The assembly is to be conducted in accordance with the instructions issued by Budmat.
Adapt the foundation of the structure to the local soil conditions.
Recommended tightening torques during the assembly:
M8 hexagon socket screws, mid and end clamps: 10-11 Nm
Duringthetighteningofthescrewstothemoduleframe,therhombicMagnelisnutmaybecomedeformedatthetorqueof11Nm.
Thisdeformationisacceptable.
Screws and nuts: M10: 44-48 Nm (for tZn screws)
M12: 51-55 Nm (for A2-70 screws)
77-81 Nm (for tZn screws)
Tighteningfastenerswithimpactdriversand/orwrenchesisprohibited.
In order to prevent the fasteners from seizing, it is recommended to use a lubricant (eg. teflon grease) on
joints exposed to dust, water etc.
It is prohibited to interfere with the structure by drilling holes, grinding its edges, cutting it or carrying out other activities that
may damageits protectivelayer,unlesssuchanactivityisadmissibleaspertheinstructionorBudmatconsentstosuchanactivity being

The upper parts of the posts may become deformed while driven into the ground. In that case, the
occurring deformations should be secured with zinc paint along the scratch. Remove any soiling from the
components that has accumulated during the assembly immediately before proceeding to the next assembly
phase.
