  Step 1: Position the Mechanical Attachment 

 

1.

 

Consult the provided Racking Construction Set Drawing for the locations of the Mechanical 
Attachments that need to be installed. Once the modules and Supports are installed you can 
locate the Mechanical Attachments. Ballast Trays and modules may need to be removed if they 
are already installed. 

2.

 

The Mechanical Attachments are installed underneath modules and connect to the side of the 
Ballast Trays via the Mechanical Attachment Bracket. 

3.

 

Center the Mechanical Attachments on the Ballast Tray requiring the attachment (east to west). 

NOTE: If no suitable slots are available at the center of the Ballast Tray, the Mechanical 
Attachment can be located at the next available slots closest to the center of the gap between 
adjacent modules.

See below for Mechanical Attachment locations from the Support edge (
