Before Installing

It is critically important to observe standard safety practices when installing Orion Solar Racking:

Stop work during stormy weather. Solar modules can be blown in high windsNever step or sit on the glass surface of a solar module. The glass may break, resulting in shockor bodily injuryDo not throw or roughly handle any Orion Solar Racking componentsDo not bring Orion Solar Racking into contact with sharp or heavy objectsDo not modify Orion Solar Racking components in any way. The exchange of bolts, drilling ofholes, bending and any other physical changes not intended in standard installation procedurewill void the warrantyProducts should be installed and maintained by quali�ed personnel. Keep unauthorized personnelaway from solar modulesIt is the installer’s responsibility to verify the integrity of the structure to which Orion SolarRacking is �xed. Roofs or structures with rotten/rusted bearers, undersized bearers, excessivelyspaced bearers or any other unsuitable substructure cannot be used with Orion Solar RackingInstallation on such structures could result in death or serious injury and will void the warranty

Rail Calculations based on code approved stress equations, and allowable margins of safety. Beam calculations have been conservatively performed under wind loads, snow, dead loadsComponents have had full envelope forces applied to each component.

Check that the Orion Solar Racking equipment is undamaged and that the order is complete.

Module Installation

Once module installation is complete, if the rails are uneven the installer can trim the excess off the rail with a portable band-saw or reciprocating saw to achieve flush even look

It is recommended to file down any sharp edges after all cuts are complete to avoid any injuries due to sharp or jagged edges

Installing Angle Steel Bracket

The angle steel bracket attaches from the bottom cap of the rear leg to thev cap of the front leg and is fastened by a single bolt and nut that should be torqued down to 10-15Ft Lbs of torque.

The notch where the angle bracket attaches to the bottom cap (rear Leg) and top cap (front leg) should be set to the correct orientation before torquing down the main bolts that hold the legs in place.
