How to Install the S-5-CP Clamp on Your Carport

Partially thread the setscrew into the clamp by hand. Position the clamp at the desired location along the purlin with the bolt hole facing upward and the setscrew facing downward. Tighten the setscrew using a calibrated screw gun and the included bit tip. If installing solar PV, refer to the separate PVKIT or rail installation instructions.
