Once all of the mounting brackets have been secured to
the roof the solar collector(s) can be installed. See Figure
8 for these instructions.
1. Insert the stainless steel channel nut w/spring inside
of the mounting strut.
2. Fasten the solar collector mounting clip to the channel
nut with the stainless steel bolt, lock-washer, and flat
washer as shown. Do not tighten. Repeat step for the
other mounting bracket locations.
3. The solar collector can now be set on the mounting
struts. To aid in handling the collectors on the roof the
mounting clips may be tightened to the lower mount-
ing brackets prior to raising the collectors. The collec-
tor can then be set on the lower mounting brackets
while the top clips are fastened over the lip on the col-
lector frame.
4. After the solar collector is in position, locate the upper
mounting clip so that its lip over-hangs the lip of the
solar collector frame as shown. Tighten the mounting
clip to the solar collector frame securely. Repeat for
the other upper mounting clips.
5. Once the upper mounting clips are secured, the bot-
tom mounting clips can be loosened and retightened
over the collector lip as directed in step 4.
6. Repeat steps as needed for other solar collectors.
