14 At same end where you started installing joist brackets, snap starter channel into joist brackets (FIG.10). Very Important— Make sure starter channel and panels snap in completely. Missing a snap anywhere in the system will cause a sag in the panels and could result in a leak. Leave a temporary 2” gap between ledger board and panel channel for later installation of trim cap.
15 Take a panel and snap it to the starter channel already in place. Make sure flexible flange is in place (FIG.11). Add a bead of caulk where shown to prevent rollback of water seeping into the channel.
(FIG.11-B).
