Unirac also provides a limited warranty on SunFrame products (page 24). Q The installer is solely responsible for: • Complying with all applicable local or national building codes, including any that may supersede this manual; • Ensuring that Unirac and other products are appropriate for the particular installation and the installation environment; • Ensuring that the roof, its rafters, connections, and other structural support members can support the array under all code level loading conditions (this total building assembly is referred to as the building structure); • Using only Unirac parts and installer-supplied parts as specified by Unirac (substitution of parts may void the warranty and invalidate the letters of certification in all Unirac publications); • Ensuring that lag screws have adequate pullout strength and shear capacities as installed; • Verifying the strength of any alternate mounting used in lieu of the lag screws; • Maintaining the waterproof integrity of the roof, including selection of appropriate flashing; • Ensuring safe installation of all electrical aspects of the PV array; and • Ensuring correct and appropriate design parameters are used in determining the design loading used for design of the specific installation. Parameters, such as snow loading, wind speed, exposure and topographic factor should be confirmed with the local building official or a licensed professional engineer. 2 SunFrame Unirac Code-Compliant Installation Manual U N I RAC' Part I. Procedure to Determine the Design Wind Load [1.1.] Using the Simplified Method - ASCE 7-05 The procedure to determine Design Wind Load is specified for more clarification on the use of Method 1. Lower design by the American Society of Civil Engineers and referenced in wind loads may be obtained by applying Method II from ASCE the International Building Code 2006. For purposes of this 7-05.

Laying out the installation area and planning for material conservation. B. Installing footings and rails, beginning with the lowest row and moving up the roof. C. Placing modules and cap strips, beginning with the highest row and moving down the roof. The following illustrated steps describe the procedure in detail. Before beginning, please note these important considerations. Footings must be lagged into structural members. Never attach them to the decking alone, which leaves both the array and roof susceptible to severe damage. Q For array widths or lengths greater than 45 feet see instruction manual 908.1 concerning thermal expansion issues.

Laying out the installation area Amoy _ length Roils Always install SunFrame rails perpendicular to rafters. (These instructions assume typical rafters that run from the gutter x-`"; to the peak of the roof. If this is not the case, contact Unirac.) Rails are typically mounted horizontally (parallel to the lower edge of the roof), and must be mounted within 10 degrees of horizontal. Leave adequate room to move safely around the array during installation. During module installation, you will need to slide - one module in each row about a foot beyond the end of the rails on one side. Using the number of rows and the numbers of modules per row in your installation, determine the size of your array area following Figure 6. } Array width (module width times modules per row) Figure 6. Installation area layout. Note: Module length is not neces- sarily measured from the edges of the frame. Some frames have lips. Others are assembled withpan-head screws. All such features must be included in module length. 16 SunFrame Unirac Code-Compliant Installation Manual ii' U N I RAC 2.

L-feet can be placed with the double-slotted side against the _ roof surface (as in Fig. 7) or with the single-slotted side against - the roof (which increases air circulation beneath modules).
