Purpose: IFA

 Lubricate all modules for the frame thoroughly, both the inside and
the outside surfaces.
 Insert the modules according to your installation plan (transit plan).
Usually start with the largest modules.

 Insert a stayplate on top of the finished row of modules.

 Continue to fill up the packing space of the frame, until one final row
is left.

 Before inserting the final row of modules, insert two stayplates.

 Separate the two stayplates and insert the final row of modules
between the stayplates.

 Drop the upper stayplate on top of the modules.

 Lubricate all sides of the wedge sparsely, except front and back.
Please read the markings on the wedge and turn it correctly before
