TILE ROOF |
| STEP
1: SELECT A TILE IN THE AREA OF THE
ROOF RAFTER. |
STEP
2: REMOVE THE TILE BY PUSHING AND PULLING THE TILE. IT IS USUALLY HELD IN PLACE BY A SMALL NAIL. |
 |
 |
| STEP
3: AFTER REMOVING THE ROOF TILE, LOCATE THE
RAFTER EITHER BY TAPPING WITH A HAMMER OR USING AN ELECTRONIC STUD SENSOR. |
STEP
4: UPON LOCATING THE RAFTER CENTER, MARK A REFERENCE POINT ON
THE TILE ABOVE. |
 |
 |
| STEP
5: APPLY MASTIC SEAL TO THE HOLE THAT HELD THE TILE IN PLACE. |
STEP
6: DRILL SEVERAL HOLES IF NECESSARY TO LOCATE THE CENTER OF THE RAFTER. A 3/16" CARBIDE BIT IS RECOMMENDED. |
 |
 |
| STEP
7: INSERT THE LAG BOLT AND WASHER THROUGH THE TILE TRAC® AND APPLY MASTIC TO THE BASE. |
STEP
8: INSTALL THE LAG BOLT INTO THE ROOF USING A 1/2" SOCKET DRIVE. THE MASTIC SHOULD FLOW OUTWARD SEALING ANY HOLES
MADE TO LOCATE THE RAFTER. |
 |
 |
| STEP
9: AFTER BOLTING THE TILE TRAC® TO THE ROOF, SLIDE THE UPPER CARRIAGE INTO CORRECT POSITION UNDER THE CROWN OF THE TILE. |
STEP

CARRIAGE IN ALIGNMENT WITH THE HOLE IN THE TILE. |
 |
 |

WASHER BETWEEN THE NUTS BEFORE TIGHTENING. |
STEP
14: INSERT THE THREADED SHAFT THROUGH THE TILE INTO THE UPPER
CARRIAGE TIGHTEN DOWN USING A 9/16" WRENCH. |
 |
 |
| STEP

WATERPROOF. |
