5. Pre-assembly
Screw the components tight by hand (tightening torque 1 Nm) using three M8 x 16 screws and three M8 nuts as
shown in the following figure. Slide inner and outer cross beams together. For pre-assembly with rigid cross beams,
see Appendix A.
190142 380 elevation rail or
190143 540 elevation rail
3x M8 screw set
190144 Inner cross beam
190145 Outer cross
beam
190152 Rear ground joint
190141 Bottom rail
190152 Front ground joint
Figure 1: Pre-assembly of framed TectoFlat triangular set
The front ground joint should always be attached to the third hole of the series of three holes in the bottom rail (see
Figure 1). Make sure the ground joints are oriented correctly: the ground joints are correctly installed when the upper
ends of the elongated hole point outwards.
The hole you need to use from the right hole pattern in the bottom rail will depend on the desired tilt angle. For more
information, see Table 1 in the next chapter "Adjusting the tilt angle".
