or serious injury.
WARNING! Indicates a hazardous situaon which, if not avoided, can result in serious injury.
ATTENTION! Aenon statements are used to indicate where a part of the process or equipment
has a special requirement. Aenon statements should be followed at all mes.
1.2 Target Audience
This manual is intended for qualied personnel who installs an Autarco solar PV soluon with R6 pitched roof
mounng systems. Before any further acon, the installer must rst read all safety regulaons and be aware of the
potenal danger to operate high-voltage devices such as PV modules.
ATTENTION! Qualied personnel means a person with valid license from the local authority for:
• Installing electrical equipment and PV power systems (up to 1000 V)
• Applying all applicable installaon codes and using personal protecve equipment (PPE)
• Analyzing and reducing the hazards involved in performing electrical work
1.3 Mounng Hook Models Covered
The R6 rail is installed on a pitched roof using one of the following Autarco pitched roof mounng hooks:
• M2.AR6THX1 - Apex R6 adjustable roof hook for portrait and landscape install on le roofs
• M2.AR6WC.1 - Apex R6 waveclip for lanscape install on corrugated roofs
• M2.AR6HB.1 - Apex R6 hangerbolt for landscape install on corrugated roofs
Further informaon on the types of roof mounng hooks are available online at www.autarco.com/downloads/

2. Preparing for Installaon
2.1 Safety Instrucons
DANGER! Do not install during severe or sub-zero weather condions.
WARNING! Never step or sit on the glass surface of a solar module.
The glass may break, resulng in shock or bodily injury. The module may also stop generang power.
WARNING! Always use the supplied parts to aach the solar modules and mounts.
Use of other parts is dangerous and may cause the solar modules or mounts to loosen or fall.
DANGER! Do not install this system on a roof with pitch > 60 degrees.
WARNING! The installaon, maintenance, recycling and disposal of the mounng components
must be performed by qualied personnel in compliance with naonal and local standards and
regulaons.
WARNING! Always install modules onto a minimum of two rails which are parallel to the shorter side
of the module.
Otherwise, loosening of the modules may occur due to expansion or contracon of the rails under
varying heat.
Any unauthorized acons including modicaon of product funconality of any form will aect the validaon of
warranty service; Autarco may deny the obligaon of warranty service accordingly.

2.5 Hooks and Rails Posion Guideline
Before proceeding with the installaon, make sure the hooks and rails are installed according to the dimensions
given below. This can be dierent per product:
• The maximum distance between two successive hooks (H1) is 120cm, but typically 60-80cm.
Refer to our calculator for specic value
• The distance between rails (R2) is between 0.5 and 0.7 mes the length of the module (L). Please check
the allowed clamping posion in the Solar Panel Installaon Manual.
refer to the ‘Mounng’ secon of your modules manual for module-specic values
• The maximum rail overhang distance (OH3) is 30cm.
The values for Hook Distance (H1) and Overhang Distance (OH3) are determined by wind zone, height of the
building and terrain code.
