(3) is supplied in standard lengths. The necessary length l1 is usually equal to the distance
between the purlins or between the purlin and foundaon. Refer to illustraon 4.3.3. A small
number of millimeters shorter than l1 is also permied.
2. Drill the holes of ø 6.5mm (4x). Refer to illustraon 4.3.1.
3. Put the guiding unit (2) onto the guiding prole (3). Refer to illustraon 4.3.2.

- Aligned with the purlin (A)
- At the distance of 41 mm between the guiding prole (3) and post (B).
Refer to illustraon 4.3.3.
6. Find (in the width of the purlin) the posion of the guiding prole (3) where the guiding unit (2)
can move to the highest point. The highest point possible of the guiding unit (2) is related to the
width of the purlin (A).
Refer to illustraon 4.3.4.
