Attaching the diagonal struts

• Mount 2 diagonal struts per unit on the left and
right ends of the row.
• Loosely mount one end of the diagonal in the lowest
pre-drilled bore hole of the strut to the outside triangle
with a self-locking nut M8, 2 washers and an allen bolt.
• Point the strut diagonally to the next triangle in the
row and mark the exact position of that triangle's
upper-most bore hole on the diagonal.
Attaching the back plate (alternative

to the diagonal struts)
• Hold the back plates against the
triangles from behind, and fix them to
the triangle supports with two drill
screws per triangle.
• Allow the back plates to overlap by
5 cm.
• Drill a hole with diameter of 9 mm at the marked
location.
• Fix the second end of the diagonal.
• Tighten both diagonal connections finally (tightening
torque 8 Nm).
• If necessary, shorten any protruding ends of the
diagonals (purely for appearance purposes).
