It is critically important to observe standard safety practices when installing. Stop work during stormy weather. Solar modules can be caught in the wind. Never step or sit on the glass surface of a solar module. The glass may break, resulting in shock or bodily injury. Do not throw or roughly handle any components. Do not bring the into contact with sharp or heavy objects. Do not modify components in any way. The exchange of bolts, drilling of holes, bending and any other physical changes not intended in standard installation procedure will void the warranty. Product should be installed and maintained by qualified personnel. Keep unauthorized personnel away from solar modules It is the installer s responsibility to verify the integrity of the structure to which is fixed. Roofs or structures with rotten/rusted bearers, undersized bearers, excessively spaced bearers, or any other unsuitable substructure cannot be used with Orion Solar Racking, and installation on such structures will void the warranty, and could result in death or serious injury. Rail calculations are based on code approved conventional mechanical section properties, material properties, stress equations, and allowable margins of safety. Beam calculations have been conservatively performed in non-snow areas with simply supported assumptions. Components have had full envelope forces from the tables applied to each component. This is prescriptive in nature and not a site specific engineering document for building permit application. Please contact Orion Racking Systems for more detailed information and for site specific engineering data on specific projects. ASCE 7-05 guidance for Wind is used in the tables.

Commercial and residential buildings Marine applications and remote areas Aluminum 6106-T6 extrusion Suitable for buildings up to 30' in height Suitable for roof slope range from 0º to 65º Static load capacity from 20 N to 1800 N Significantly higher strength-to-weight ratio than other framing products,providing improved efficiency due to greater frame spans, inherent corrosion. resistance resulting in low ongoing maintenance and an extended product life. Complies with ASCE 7-05 guidance for wind load design. Check that the equipment is undamaged and that the order is complete.
