Ä
Clean roofs and remove obstructions.
Ä
Measure the entire field.
Ä
Take note of edge distances and roof structures.
Ä
Compare the measurement with project documents.

Ä
Fold up the middle support column and pull
upwards.
Ä
Press the hinge down as far as it will go in order to close off
the folding mechanism.
Ä
Fold up the middle support column on the
opposite side in the same way.
Ä
Repeat the process with all other ground
profiles.
•
The ground profiles are now assembled and carry up to 4
modules when folded out.
CAUTION! Personal injury due to sharp-edged
and heavy supports!
Ä
Wear protective gloves during the entire
assembly.
NOTE! Damage to the roof cladding!
Ä
Use ground profiles with pre-assembled building
protective mats that are suitable for the nature of
the roof cladding.
Ä
To compensate for height differences, the building protection
mat may be removed and replaced with a higher building
protection mat of the same type.
Ä
Arrange folded-up ground profiles parallel to one
another and aligned.
NOTE!
The exact distance to the next ground profile is stipulated by
the ballast carriers.
