7.4 Attaching the wind deflectors
Please see appendix C for installation of wind deflector set 540 (art. no. 261119)
In addition to its aerodynamics effect, the wind deflector is used to connect the modules to each other in a west-east
direction. Start at the end of a row by placing a wind deflector in the notches of the elevation rail, flush against the
edge of the module. Affix the wind deflector to the upper end of each triangular set using a wind deflector attachment
set by clamping it in place.
Figure 9: Wind deflector attachment
The wind deflector is 2.08 m long, i.e. it is higher than a standard module (about 1.65 m long). In the event that the
wind deflector extends beyond the elevation rail of the adjacent module, the next wind deflector can be attached
overlapping that elevation rail and the two wind deflectors can be connected together by clamping (see Figure
10).

Another way to connect the wind deflectors together is to screw them together using the holes in the corners of the
wind deflectors (see Figure

).
