2. Mount the upper and lower saddle bracket in one of the following ways:
a. U-Bolt - You must specify the pole diameter to Erdman in
order to have this shipped with your order.
b. 12” x ½” stainless steel pipe clamps
c. The saddle brackets should be spaced apart according to
the following chart:
Horiz. Tilt

This will help you achieve the desired angle for your
installation latitude. Try to match the installation angle to
the latitude. You also must face the panel due south if you
are in the northern hemisphere.
3. Mount L-Bracket to the saddles using 5/16” stainless steel bolts and nuts provided
a. The distance between the L-Brackets is determined by the panel rails as assembled in step 1
b. Leave the bolts loose so they can be adjusted to attach the solar panel assembly
4. Mount Tilt Legs to L-Brackets using 5/16” stainless steel bolts and nuts provided
a. Leave the bolts loose so they can be adjusted to attach the solar panel assembly
5. Attach the fully assembled solar module to the
L-Brackets so the panel is the farthest away
from the pole. Tighten the L-Brackets in place.
6. Attach the tilt legs to the now hinging solar
module. The Tilt Legs can either be attached to
the “A” hole or the “B” hole depending on your
desired tilt angle(see table above).
7. Tighten all bolts and nuts and apply the
included thread locking compound to ensure
the safety of the installation.
8. Strain relief the wires to the pole or mounting
arm using ty-wraps.
