INSTALLATION MANUAL
WARNING
APPLCATION: COMPOSITE SHINGLE ROOF
The RED WIDOW pv mounting system was engineered
to be rail -less and stud -less. This allows for quick
installation while reducing material cost.
All SPIDER RAX products are designed and
tested to withstand all regional specifications
when installed correctly. Failure to install
SPIDER RAX products correctly may decrease
performance of the installation. "To be used
only in combination with modules that include the
Red Widow rack system in their installation manual."

SAFETY
All local safety requirements should be followed when installing all SPIDER RAX products. All
tools, equipment, and roofing material should be located safely to avoid falling object hazards.
All tools/equipment should be inspected prior to installation to ensure proper operational use.
This installation guide is intended for professional PV installers with a background in
construction principles.

STEP 2: Marking pane and footing layout
Note: Before applying mounting attachments, drawing a system layout is highly recommended.
For our demonstration of the Red Widow installation we will be using a simulation roof. Fire lanes
Are not included during this example. If required by regional specifications, account for fire lane and position
Your layout accordingly.
2.1
Start at the left/top of the layout and mark the top/left corner of the first panel in the top row.
Use a lumber crayon for all marks during step 2.
2.2
Move to the left/bottom of the layout and mark the bottom/left corner of the first panel in that
row.

and in line with the left vertical panel mark.
2.7
Chalk line between the top and bottom footing mark and then mark all footing positions on the
left side of the layout. Keep in mind that the edge of the footing mark should be 6" from the
edge of the panel.

STEP 3: Cut composite shingle
3.1
Use one base plate from the Red Widow mounting system as a template.
3.2
Center the base plate on the footing mark and trace base plate at the bottom edge of the
composite shingle.
3.3
Use a utility knife to cut out the marked portion of the composite shingle. This will allow the
flashing to set in the proper position.

Position the flashing above the base plate with the three outer edges of the flashing under the layer of
composite shingle.
5.3
Ensure that the layer of composite shingle sets flush with the raised portion of the flashing. Upon
completion it should appear as shown.
