Notes:
1. Frame should be aligned with the roof rafters/batons where possible.
2. The front tracks can be adjusted left/right to match the roof.
3. When possible position front tracks behind tubes so they are hidden.
4. Always refer to installation manual regarding mounting guidelines in particular for wind
loading and mounting strength.
5. Seek engineering approval for any non-standard installation or if in doubt of mounting
strength or safety.
6. Any installation must adhere to local codes and regulations and be completed by suitably
qualified persons who hold relevant industry licenses.
