STRUCTURAL ATTACHMENT POINTS
· Find the required structural attachment points.
SLIDE SPACING
· Spacing may vary depending upon project specific structural requirements: i.e. high snow and wind load areas may require lesser bracket spacing in the East-West axis vs. the maximum spacing.
· Max spacing is 48″ OC for portrait orientation and 72″ OC for landscape orientation.
· Consult project layout diagram for project specific slide spacing on the roof.
· Install slides to predetermined mount spacing.
ARRAY SKIRT SECTIONS
· Use the array skirt as a guide to lay out module placement.
ROW SPACING
· The distance between the rows of mounts is calculated by the module dimension NorthSouth plus 1 5/16″.

Snap chalk lines based on module dims + 1 5/16″ spacing and then locate rafters
2 PILOT HOLE
Drill a 7/32″ pilot hole into the rafter or structural member for the lag screw. Backfill with sealant compatible with the roof type.

3 CUT SHINGLE (IF NECESSARY)

To position the slide in the correct location, it is

acceptable to cut out a portion of the shingle

4 INSERT LAG BOLT
· Line up pilot hole with flashing hole. · Using only the EcoFasten provided lag screw*,
insert the lag through the RockIt Comp Slide, the gasketed hole in the flashing and into the rafter.
3
Position the slide with the date stamp facing south. · Torque: The range is between 100-140 inchpounds depending on the type of wood and time of year. The visual indicator for proper torque is when the EPDM on the underside of the bonded washer begins to push out the sides as the washer compresses. If using an impact wrench to

install the fasteners be careful not to over torque the fastener. You may need to stop and use a ratchet to finish the install.

It is important to only use the lag screws provided by EcoFasten because they have longer thread lengths to increase the pull-out force

COMP SHINGLE INSTALLATION
SMART SLIDE
ARRAY POSITIONING
Use the shingle overlap as your starting position to snap your first chalk line (See image below). We recommend snapping chalk lines at every row to make sure every installation is completed with confidence and easy. After chalk lines have been snapped for each row, being as precise as possible, locate the rafters within the array making sure to follow the span chart and cantilevers. NOTE: For landscape module orientation, the north-south distance between each chalk line is equal to the module width plus 1-5/16″. For portrait, the distance is the module length plus 1-5/16″.

INSTALLATION

Figure 1
PLACING THE SLIDE
Once the general location of each rafter is marked, clean the mounting location with a nylon brush for proper sealing. Before peeling off the release liners, please note the Smart Slide is designed to straddle the two shingle courses. It is important to make sure the bottom foot is flush and pushed up against the shingle course edge above (see figure 1). When you locate the rafter, peel off the two release liners and place the center of the slide over the rafter.
NOTE: Only install on clean roofs free of snow , ice and debris in ambient temperatures between 5º F and 118º F. If installing on Presidential shingles of rare thickness over 1/8″, cut off the shingle tabs to ensure the slide lies flat.

SCREW PLACEMENT & DRIVING THE SCREWS
NOTE: Once the slide is in position, it will be difficult to remove cleanly without leaving any sealant on the roof. When rafter mounting, for any screws that miss the rafter, do not remove those screws. Smart Slide is designed to give the installer multiple opportunities to find the rafter. Do not remove any screws that have missed the rafter. Smart Slide is designed to give the installer multiple opportunities to find the rafter making installation quick.

· Run a string line across the north edge of the base

of the two Mounts. · Add a Mount to each of the other Slides, position

them up against the string line, and tighten the side bolts to 200 in-bs.
