6.10 INSTALLINg FRONT COvER
Prior to the installation of the bottom row of modules
(located close to the eave of the roof) a front cover is
installed to provide a finished appearance.
1. Place each front cover over the top of the support rail
as shown below.
Align edge of front cover with guide lines.

2. Place a module mounting clip (AD801) into the
support rail. Make certain that the lip of the module
clip captures the front cover as shown. Each module
clip should be located approximately 8" (200 mm) in
from the edge of the solar module.

bolt Tightening Instructions
Begin tightening bolts by hand. After 5 turns by hand,
use a socket driver to finish tightening. The proper
torque is SI units 12.5 Nm/USA units 9.3 ft.lb.
Protective earth grounding of the individual
photovoltaic modules is achieved by the securement
of the modules to the mounting frames. The assembly
instructions should be closely followed, in order to
ensure a reliable ground connection.
Note that 2 clips are required on each rail for each
rectangular solar module. Securing the solar modules is
important to the system durability.
