INSTALLATION and ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS FOR HCV ROOF STANDS
These roof stands have been designed to be assembled on site and come complete with all necessary items
to achieve a level mounting surface for the unit. When mounted either parallel to or across the roof pitch,
the stands will compensate for the following maximum roof pitches.

HCV 45 & 50 Special Roof Stands Required
It is recommended that waterproof timbers or similar be fitted to the roof under the stand legs to distribute
the unit weight evenly. Assemble roof stand frame as per diagram, attach corner legs and feet to suit
approximate roof pitch. Cross members incorporating twelve punched holes must be fitted to both ends of
the roof stand. The heater section end or discharge end can be identified by the cross member which is
387mm from an end cross member.
Place in correct position on roof and adjust level. Fix leg braces into position (ensure legs are at right
angles to frame) and tighten all bolts. Flat washers to be fitted under all bolt heads and nuts. Hole
spacing’s in the long and short leg combine to provide adjustment of height increments of 12mm. Finer
adjustment if necessary can be made by placing 1.6mm metal packing pieces under the feet of the stand.
Provision has been made for the leg braces to be fitted to side members in two positions. This makes
allowance for standard pitch and shallow pitch roofs.
If the full length of the legs is not required, the excess may be cut off at the top leaving 38mm above the
roof stand surface for locating purposes.
NOTE: On the HCV 12 roof stand it is necessary to cross the leg braces on the end. This is achieved by
fixing one brace to the inside surface of the leg and end cross member and the other as shown in the
diagram in accordance with statutory requirements.
