Outback Sunroof
BEFORE YOU START
Carefully read these instructions and refer to them constantly during each stage of construction. If you do not have all
the necessary tools or information, contact Stratco for advice. Before starting, layout all components and check them
against the delivery docket. The parts description identifies each key part, and the component layout diagram indicates
their fastening position.
Double check all dimensions, levels and bolting locations before cutting, screwing or bolting structural members. It
is recommended that the installers erecting the structure have had some previous building experience because some
modifications to the existing house structure may be required. If a freestanding unit is being installed, the attachment
beam becomes the rear fascia beam and is installed as per the details for the front fascia beam. Box gutters and
flashings do not need to be pre-fixed until all beams have been erected.
