Installing Module Mounting Rails:

After the base system rails (ST-AK 120/90) are attached to the bearing 
block (east-west), the upper module rails sections (ST-AK 60/37 or ST-AK
66/37) are attached lengthwise (north-south). This requires 2 cross adapters 
per intersection point.

Click the cross adapters onto the base rails and slide attachment lip into 
channel of base rail on either side. 

See Figures 8.1 & 8.2

Fasten the clamp screws by turning clockwise. (Torque to 6 to 8 ft. Lbs)

Installing Diagonal Straps:

Cross bracing is necessary before 
the modules can be mounted. To 
do this, the M10 hexagon nuts 
and the serrated lock washers 
on the head of the bearing block 
must be removed. Next, fasten the 
pre-drilled side of the diagonal 
strap onto the top side of the 
vertical post next to the bearing 
block. (Torque Hardware: 6 to 8 
ft. lbs) 

See figures 9.2 & 9.3

Mark the lower connecting point 
according to structural drawings. 
The diagonal strap and the 
vertical post must now be drilled 
on site according to the mark and 
joined with the M10 x 85 mm 
socket head cap screws, serrated 
lock washers and M10 Hex nuts. 
The height of the attachment 
depends on the structural 
drawings of the particular system. 
Repeat this procedure with all 
pairs of vertical posts. 

See 

Figures 9.3 & 9.4
