A. LAYOUT
Tie a string from the first to the last North/south strut at
the location you would like the top edge of the lower
row of panels to be. This ensures the panels will line up,
even if the struts are slightly off. You can also mark the
location of the mid/end clamps on the side of the
panels with a pencil or china marker.
B. INITIAL CLAMPING
Place the first module at the East end, line the top edge
with the string, and loosely clamp the struts with two end
clamps, lock washers, and spring nuts on the outside, and
two mid clamps, lock washers, and spring nuts on the
inside. Ensure the first module aligns with the line.
