Install base rail
3
• Mount 2 horizontal base rail sections per row of triangles.
• Align and position the rails according to the selected
module dimensions (distance between the rails,
see page 9 point j and k).
• Lay the rails with the smooth side down on the triangles
and fasten them loosely to the vertically-mounted
x-stones on the side.
• Take care to observe the differing alignment of the rails
for portrait or landscape installation (see illustration on
the right).
• Align the rails and subsequently tighten the vertical and
horizontal X-stone bolts finally (tightening torque 8 Nm).
Connecting the individual rails
4
• The splice should be slid in half-way from the side,
on the back side of the profile rail.
• Slide the next profile rail into the splice.
• Tighten both bolts of the splice (tightening torque 8 Nm).
5 Mounting the telescoping end piece
(inclusion is dependent on design)
• If intended, slide a telescoping end piece into the base
rail at the end of each rail section, but wait to tighten.
• If applicable, mount the flexible element of the
telescoping end piece onto the X-stone of the last triangle.
• After the precise adjustment to the length of the
module surface area, fix the telescoping end piece.
This is done by, tightening the bolt on the end of the
telescoping end piece facing the module surface area
(tightening torque 8 Nm).

TIP: It is best not to pre-calculate
and adjust the exact position of the
telescoping end piece, but instead to
do the exact positioning and final
mounting while fixing the last module.
