Installation Guide / SolarRoof Tilt Legs Planning Determine the wind region of your installation site Wind regions map below shows 4 different wind regions in New Zealand: NZ1, NZ2, NZ3 and NZ4. The lee (effect) multiplier (M1ee) shall be evaluated for New Zealand sites in the lee zones below. In wind regions of NZ1 and NZ2 with M1ee over 500 m above sea level, the interface spacing reduction is applied.

Fixed Tilt Legs Precautions during Stainless Steel Fastener Installation Improper operation may lead to deadlock of Nuts and Bolts. The steps below should be applied to stainless steel nut and bolt assembly to reduce this risk.
Page 19
Safe Torques Please refer to safe torques defined in this guide as shown in the figure below. If power tools are required, Clenergy recommends the use of low speed only. High speed and impact drivers increase the risk of bolt galling (deadlock). If deadlock occurs and you need to cut fasteners, please make sure that there is no load on the fastener before you cut it.
