Package Contents & Inspection

Carefully unpack all components and verify against the list below before beginning installation.

IMPORTANT: Do not discard packaging until all parts are verified. Contact support if any items are missing or damaged.

Tools Required

Gather the following tools before starting. Not all may be required depending on your installation surface.

• Phillips Screwdriver: Size #2.
• Adjustable Wrench: Or socket set (10mm, 13mm).
• Hex Key/Allen Wrench: Provided in kit.
• Measuring Tape: For accurate placement.
• Level: To ensure proper alignment.
• Drill & Bits: If drilling into mounting surface (check specifications for required bit size).
• Safety Glasses & Gloves: Recommended for protection.

Safety Precautions

Failure to follow these precautions may result in injury or product damage.

1. Work Area: Ensure a clean, stable, and well-lit workspace.
2. Personal Safety: Wear safety glasses and gloves during assembly and mounting.
3. Lifting: The main bracket may be heavy. Use proper lifting techniques or get assistance.
4. Mounting Surface: Verify the wall, roof, or structure can support the product's weight and any intended load.
5. Electrical Safety: If installing near electrical lines or devices, ensure power is off or maintain safe distance.
6. Weather: Do not install during high winds, rain, or lightning.

WARNING! This product is designed for specific loads. Do not exceed the maximum weight capacity listed in the specifications.

Assembly Steps

Follow these steps to assemble the main components before mounting.

1. Lay Out Parts: Place all components on a soft surface to prevent scratching.
2. Attach Side Braces (if applicable): Align the side braces with the main frame. Insert the provided bolts through the aligned holes.
3. Secure with Hardware: Place a flat washer and lock washer onto each bolt, then thread the hex nut. Hand-tighten initially.
4. Initial Tightening: Use the provided wrench to tighten all connections firmly. Do not overtighten, which may strip threads.
5. Check Alignment: Ensure the frame is square and all joints are secure.

Tip: Leave final torque adjustment until after the unit is mounted and leveled.

Mounting & Installation

This section details securing the assembled bracket to your chosen surface.

1. Mark Mounting Points: Hold the bracket in the desired location. Use a pencil to mark the positions of all mounting holes on the surface.
2. Pre-drill Holes (if required): Using the correct drill bit for your surface material (e.g., wood, concrete, metal), drill pilot holes at the marked points.
3. Position Bracket: Align the bracket holes with the drilled holes or surface studs.
4. Insert Mounting Hardware: Insert the mounting bolts through the bracket and into the surface. For concrete/brick, use appropriate anchors (not included).
5. Secure Bracket: Place washers and nuts on the bolts from the opposite side. Tighten evenly and alternately to ensure the bracket sits flush.

CAUTION! Double-check the stability of the mounting surface. The bracket must not wobble or shift once installed.

Final Adjustments & Testing

After mounting, perform final checks and load testing.

1. Level the Bracket: Place a level on the main rail. Adjust by slightly loosening the mounting nuts, shifting the bracket, and re-tightening.
2. Final Torque: Fully tighten all nuts and bolts using the wrench. Ensure no movement at any joint.
3. Load Test: Gradually apply the intended load (e.g., place the solar panel, box, or other item) up to the specified weight limit. Observe for any signs of strain, bending, or loosening.
4. Security Check: After 24 hours and periodically thereafter, re-check the tightness of all fasteners, especially after extreme weather.

Note: Some settling or minor adjustment may be needed in the first few days.

Care & Maintenance

Proper care ensures longevity and safe operation.

• Regular Inspection: Visually inspect the bracket, hardware, and mounting surface every 3-6 months for rust, corrosion, or loosening.
• Cleaning: Wipe down with a dry cloth. For stubborn dirt, use a damp cloth with mild soap. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
• Re-tightening: Tighten any fasteners that may have loosened due to vibration or thermal expansion/contraction.
• Corrosion Protection: In coastal or high-humidity areas, consider applying a protective wax or corrosion inhibitor to metal parts.

WARNING! Do not modify the bracket by drilling new holes or welding, as this voids the warranty and compromises structural integrity.
