    INSTALLING TILE HOOKS 1. Locate rafters on the roof, mark the tiles to be removed. Hint: In some cases rafter tails are visible at the eaves of the roof, making it easy to find the rough location of the rafters. In other cases, the fascia board may have nail heads visible where it was attached to the rafters.

    INSTALLING THE RAIL 1. Place the rail in the Clickers. 2. Ensure the rails extend a minimum of 2” past the last attachments in each row and that each rail is aligned with the next row North and/or South. 3. Roll the rail into each Clicker, an audible “click” should be heard. If attachments are extremely misaligned it may be necessary to loosen the leveling bolt, snap the Clicker onto the rail, then re-tighten the leveling bolt to 142 in-lbs.

    MODULE INSTALLATION 1. Install the end clamps on each rail on whatever end you are starting with. • Snap the end clamp onto the rail. • Slide the end cap onto the rail. • Turn the leg of the end clamp around the cap. 2.
  • Page 15 MODULE INSTALLATION 6.6 Installing additional modules on the rail 1. Click a mid clamp onto each rail. 2. Slide the mid clamps until they are flush with the side of the existing module. 3. Place and slide the next module firmly against the mid clamps.
  • Page 16 MODULE INSTALLATION 6.7 INSTALLING END CLAMPS AT THE END OF A ROW 1. Install the last mid clamps in the row. 2. Measure the rails from the last mid clamp to the module width plus l”. 3. Cut the rails at this mark. There is some adjustment in the end cap/clamp so it does not need to be a perfect cut.
  • Page 17 MODULE INSTALLATION 6.8 Installing additional rows of modules 1. Place the first module of the next row against the end clamps. 2. Temporarily place a mid clamp in the N-S gap between rows of modules, slide the modules up to the mid clamp as shown below.
