Note: The Floating Rake Angle must be attached to the framing member along the rake and rakewall. Size
of Floating Rake Angle can vary, (see System Components list on page 20).
Steps:
1. Starting on the left or right hand side, at the eave of the building (looking eave to peak), align the Floating
Rake Angle flush with the existing rake angle/framing. It is critical that the Floating Rake Angle be straight
and square with the building as it controls the alignment of the roof panels.
2. Fasten Floating Rake Angle with #12-14 x 11⁄4" Shoulder Self Driller screws into the center of each slot, (1'-0"
intervals). Do not overtighten screws. Movement of the Floating Rake Angle is imperative for proper
installation of the roof system.
