Step 5: 

Tighten the hardware attaching the foot bracket to the back plate.   

In order to optimize solar insolation refer to Section 3.2 of the manual.  
Determine the correct tilt angle required for your location, and secure the 
crossarm brackets to the foot bracket at the required angle.  Depending on the 
mounting location, it may be easier to do this while the solar panel is on the 
ground. 

Step 6:  

The solar panel can now be installed.  Again, depending on the installation this 
step may require two people.  Place the supplied adapter plate into the channel 
of the back plate.  Holding the panel in place, feed the V-bolts around the mast 
and through the back plate and adapter plate.  Secure the V-bolts in place with 
the hardware supplied with the adapter plate mounting hardware.  Figure A.8 
shows a mock-up of the installation.
