Step 2. Mounting the next pieces of rail.

B.

 On the next piece of rail, slide

     3/8-16” bolts into the side facing

     t-slot on the rail. Space the bolts

     out to match the foot spacing.

B.

 On the first piece of rail, slide

     3/8-16” bolts into the side facing

     t-slot on the rail. Space the bolts

     out to match the foot spacing.

D.

 Attach this first piece of rail to the 

     feet mounted on the roof. Mount
     the rail to each foot with a flange
     nut and hex bolt. Hand tighten 
     the nuts and check the level of 
     the rail. Tighten 3/8-16 hardware
     to 236 in-lbs.

C.

 On this same piece of rail, slide 

     1/4-20”  bolts into the top facing 

     t-slot on the rail. Space the bolts
