INSTALLATION AND OPERATION MANUAL FOR FLAT ROOF SYSTEM Q.FLAT-G6 – Q CELLS

PRELIMINARY WORK:

 

Î

Clean the roof surface and remove any obstructions;

 

Î

Measure roof surface and compare with project report;

 

Î

Mark system corner dimensions.

PROCEDURE:

.

 

Î

Push the profiles 

A

B

C

 and 

D

 into each other until the click latch engages with an audible noise (see Detail Figure 3).

 

Î

The snap-in connection is to be checked for clean form fit and strength.

 

Î

The base profile rows are now to be set up according to the spacing specified in the project (see 

).

ATTENTION:

 The base 

C

 must always face away from the main base profile 

B

!

TIP:

 The marking at the ends of the cross brace and ballast brace 

F

 indicates the exact removal of the main base profiles

All Q CELLS base profiles are fitted with 11 mm thick high-tech protective mats. The gaps between the protective mats ensure 
free water drainage. The protective mats prevent damage to the roof covering due to mechanical impact and long-term damage 
due to plasticiser migration. Furthermore, all profiles are equipped with drainage holes on the undersides to prevent water build-up 
and frost damage.
