10. To assemble the support rails, fit the smaller inner channel inside the larger outer channel so that the
mounting holes on the flanges are opposite one another. Slide the channels to obtain the correct length
determined by the panel tilt angle. Secure the support rails together at the desired length using a 1/4-20
x 3/4” hex bolt, lock washer, and flat washer on one side, and a flat washer and hex nut on the other side
(2 per rail assembly) as shown in Figure 11.
Figure 11. Support rail assembly
NOTE: For northern regions where a tilt angle of 65º or greater is required, it may be necessary to
reduce the length of the support rails. If so, ensure that excess material is not discarded from the
end with the mounting holes on the flanges. See Figure 12.

11. Use the assembled support rail to adjoin the mounting rails and the lower bucket bracket using a bolt,
washers, and hex nut as shown in Figure 13. Mount the support rail assembly to the C-brackets using
1/4-
20 x 1 5/8” hex bolt and to the lower bucket bracket using a 1/4-20 x 2” hex bolt. Tighten bolts to 7 ft-
