NOTE: For tilt angles ranging from 40-65º, two supporting rails are required out of the four

two rails (two support rails for each mounting rail).

panel mounting rail using a 5/16 - 18 x 3/4” bolt, flat washers with a lock washer under the nut. Note the
orientation of the rail depending on the panel tilt angle as shown in Figures 19 - 23. Tighten the bolts at
both ends to 12 ft-lbs.
