it with the drilled holes. Use the Nyloc Nuts, M6 Flat Washers
and M6 Bolts supplied to fix the brackets to the solar panel.

CAUTION
Leave adequate clearance around the solar panels to
ensure the panels do not become partially shaded when
in-use, and to allow access for maintenance of the panels
and connections.
MOUNT TO CROSSBARS
Lift the solar panel with the attached Solar Brackets into position on the crossbars.
Slide the Channel Nut into the crossbar. Next, fit an M8 Bolt through the Spring Washer, Flat Washer
and Solar Bracked into the Channel Nut. Apply this fitting to each Solar Bracket to complete the
installation.
REDARC recommend using the M8 × 16 mm Bolt for Vortex Aero bars and the M8 × 20 mm Bolt
for H/D bars.
COMPLETED INSTALLATION
Note:
Regularly check the mounting brackets
for loose fasteners to avoid damage to the
solar panel and the crossbars due to loose
connection.
CAUTION
All bolts must have at minimum two threads
past the end of the nut.
