SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Planning, installation and commissioning of the solar power system must only be performed by
qualified technical personnel. Improper execution can result in damage to the system and
premises and endanger persons.
Falling hazard! Working on the roof as well as ascending and descending poses a risk of falling.
It is vital to observe accident prevention regulations and use appropriate fall protection
equipment.
Injury hazard! Falling objects pose a risk of injury to people. Prior to installation, set up
barriers in the hazard area to warn people nearby.
RAPIDA45 INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
n Ideally, the tile gaps (tiles pushed upwards) should be used with the roof battens/counter
battens for climbing
n Climbing on rails should be avoided
n The frame and especially the rails must not be used as climbing aids on roof pitches > 30°.
n When installing, mount the roof hooks completely, mount the top row of rails and lay the
modules immediately, then the next row from top to bottom.
n A support on the upper arm of the roof hook provides the necessary stability (support on the
back of the upper part of the roof hook).
n PV mounting systems are not suitable for use as climbing aids or fall protection systems

INSTALLATION
1. SELECT POSITION
n Select mounting position along
the existing rafters.
n Cover the roof tiles.
For low roof pitches and unusual tile shapes,
we recommend applying our “sealing tape for
roof tiles” before inserting the roof hook.
Use a spacer if necessary.
A minimum distance of 5 mm must be
maintained between the bracket of the roof
hook and the roof tile underneath it. When
ordering the roof hook, make sure that the
height of the lower bracket section has been
chosen correctly in relation to the batten
height and the tile thickness and that the
minimum distance can be maintained.
When carrying out the following step, observe the recognised rules of the roofing trade as a
matter of priority. The machining of roof tiles regularly leads to the loss of the warranty and, if
applicable, a guarantee for the roof cladding. Improper machining of roof tiles can cause the
roof to leak and result in significant damage.

2. FLEX OUT THE LOWER ROOF TILE
n If the roof tile underneath has a raised edge at the top, this can be removed to maintain
the minimum distance. Use an angle grinder with a diamond wheel for this.
Only remove the raised edge; never ablate any deeper. Only remove the raised edge to the
extent that the minimum distance is maintained.
3. INSERT ROOF HOOKS
n Screw on the base plate using an M8 wood screw.
n Use a shim if necessary.
n Fix the ProLine roof hook to the base plate.
The length of the screws must be selected
so that at least 80 mm of thread is screwed
into the rafter.

Thread the front nib of the roof hook into the
base plate, then push it backwards and snap
the rear nib into the base plate.
Screw connection:
For the ProLine roof hooks, only one M8 wood
screw is used for fixing. The standard edge
distance of the screw is 4x the screw
diameter. The roof hooks can thus be
mounted with a max. overhang of 43 mm.

4. FLEX OUT THE UPPER ROOF TILE
n Turn over the removed tile.
n Use an angle grinder with a diamond wheel to machine the bar in the area of the roof hook.
Remove the bar so that there is at least 5 mm clearance around the roof hook in the next step!
Only remove the bar!
Do not grind any deeper!

roof unevenness.
n Tighten the pre-assembled screw on the roof hook.
8. MOUNTING THE RAPIDA UNIVERSAL PROFILE
n Hook in the profile.
n If necessary, adjust the Rapid attachment to the desired height in order to compensate for
roof unevenness.
