Dim A
4A. A 25mm wide recess / hole must be inserted into the timber kerb to allow the cable of the motor to freely exit the underside of the rooflight frame. The recess should be located directly un-derneath the cable exit point. For the suggested installation detail shown in this guide:
Dim A (from external kerb edge) = 170mm
Do not trap the cable between the frame and kerb.
Observe all applicableelectrical wiring regulations.

Step 5 - Levels and falls
Step 7 - Silicone sealing
7A. Apply a generous bead of silicone sealant to the top face of the kerb prior to lowering the rooflight into place.
We recommend low modulusneutral cure silicone sealant.
5B. Ensure the kerb structure is flat, level and pitched up by a minimum of 3 degrees toallow rain water to flow over the rooflight leading edge.
5A. Measure kerb across corners to check dimensional accuracy.
Kerb must fallby 3 degreesminimum toprevent waterpooling on glass.
