Before attempting installation, read these instructions and 

acquaint yourself with the component names. Great care 

has been taken to make this an easy-to-follow procedure. 

A little time spent understanding the system and its parts 

will assure a successful, trouble-free installation. 

CAUTION: SAFETY COMES FIRST 

When working on or around your roof or system, please 

take care to avoid hazards such as electrical wires and 

loose shingles.
