Referring to Figure 7, locate the vertical tubes labeled “V” and install them on the first and last frames in a straight 
run as follows. Slip the tube into the C12 Connector installed in the previous step. Hold the tube in position with 
the top of the tube at the desired height and secure it with (4) Tek Screws, Part# S10, through the pre-punched 
holes in the C12 Connector.  If the tubing does not easily fit into the C12 Connector, try loosening the bolt to allow 
the Connector to expand. Tighten the bolt in the C12 Connector when the tube is secured in place.  

Depending on how tall the vertical tube is, it may stand up on its own at this point simply by tightening the bolt in 
the C12 Connector. If not, you may have to install the diagonal tube as well to keep it in position. If this is the case, 
skip to Step 6 for the first and last frame in the straight run, then return to this step for the remaining frames.  

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

To install the remaining vertical tubes, pull a string line from the top of the first frame to the top of the last frame. 
Install each vertical tube as described above, using the string as a guide for the top of tube height. If these tubes 
are too tall to stand up on their own by tightening the bolt in the C12 Connectors, it is okay to let them lay down 
on the roof until the next step.

Locate the diagonal tubes labeled “D” and install the C12 Field Connectors and C15 End Connectors as shown in 
Figure 8. Make sure the fittings are properly aligned to each other so they will fit on the frame correctly. Next, slide 
the upper end with the C12 Field Connector over the vertical tube and connect the lower end with the C15 End 
Connector to the fin on top of the A10 Base Assembly.
