Create a jig by securing two L-Feet on a piece of CrossRail. Face the L-Feet apart so the flat section of
the L-Foot will rest against the CrossRail. Measure the module width or length depending on module
orientation to the nearest 1/8". Subtract 3/4" from that measurement to determine the jig length. Run
the jig along CrossRail to ensure all rails are aligned and spaced at proper distance. At each mount
location, double check proper rail speacing then tighten the L-Foot T-Bolt to 25.8 ft-lbs (35 Nm).
!
Insert T-Bolt through the L-Foot slot and into side
channel of rail. Turn T-Bolt 90º clockwise so that the
mark at the end of the T-Bolt is pendicular, indicating
proper alignment. Torque to 25.8 ft-lbs (35 Nm).
Due to thermal expansion, we recommend placing a
gap of 1.25"-2" (3-5cm) every 65 ft (20m) between
rails. Maximum allowable spacing between thermal
expansion gaps shall not exceed 80 ft (24.4m).
In areas that experience snow loads, install the rail on
the roof-ridge side of the L-Foot.

English Units
64 1/2"
64 1/2 - 3/4 = 63 3/4"
39 3/8"
39 3/8 - 3/4 = 38 5/8
Metric Units
1639mm
1639 - 19 = 1620mm
1000mm
1000 - 19 = 981mm
