Place a PV module face down on protected work
surface and place a Claw over the module frame
flange on the short side of the module; slide to the
corner and tighten the 3/8-16 x 1.25” 18-8 hex head
cap screw between 24.4 and 27.1 Nm (18-20 ft-lb).
Ensure that the Claw is seated up against the flanges
of both the long and short sides of the module. Each
module must be fitted with four (4) Claws.
This Claw is used for PV modules that are not
compatible with flange clamp style Claws. The Long
Claw attaches at the module mounting holes using
standard bolting method. Refer to paragraph 6.1 for
suitable torque and fastening requirements.
Step 4: Mount Modules to Supports.
Step 5: Electrical Grounding.
Refer to B.5 GROUNDING METHOD E: Grounding for Grizzly Bear® FR Gen II SYSTEM for grounding assembly and
requirements.
Step 6: Install Wind Deflectors
A Wind Deflector must be installed on the North side of every module. No Wind Deflectors should be installed on the
Southern-most row of Supports (these Supports will only have modules attached at the low end of the Support).
