Step 1. Determine foot spacing front to rear
A. The top down clamping areas on panels generally need to correspond with their mounting hole
locations. The following is a general location and angle reference guideline.
“C” (HOLE CENTERS) sets “A” & “B” dimensions.
Step 2.
Determine foot spacing side to side
A. Spacing is determined by site loading conditions and maximum rail spans for the 1.6 or 2.3 rails
and the quantity of panels being installed.
Step 3. Install the u-feet
The U-foot can be bolted to uni-strut, standoffs, 3/8 J-bolts in piers, or lagged to wooden
structures. U-feet must be kept in line with each other (east\west)

U-foot. (the short leg in front and the long leg on the rear) the flange nuts to be on the inside as
shown.
Step 5. Set front and rear leg angle
A. Cut a template from a stiff material to set the angle of the front leg to the mounting surface.
B. Adjust the front leg up or down for leveling with adjacent legs and set the angle of the front leg,
torque bolts to 12ft lbs.
C. Repeat with the rear leg.

A. Loosely install the mount adapters to the top hole on the front and rear legs, leaving about a 1/4"
space between the leg and adapter as shown.
B. Lay the rails on top of the adapters as shown .
C. Torque the adapter bolts to 12Ft Lbs making sure the locking tabs are fully engaged.
Step 7. Install Solar panels
A. Lay the first panel centered across the rails and attach the outer edge with the Channel end clamps.
B. Insert the 5050 clamps into the rail and slide up to the first panel.
C. Lay in the next panel, slide up to the 5050 clamps and torque the 5050 clamps to 12 Ft Lbs.
D. Repeat with the rest of the panels and use the channel clamps on the last end panel on the outer edge.
