Step 1: Install the Mounting Sleeve on Vertical Pipe CAUTION: Use care while working around the structure during assembly. There could be components that create hazards or obstruct free movement causing serious bodily injury; many at head/eye level. Move slowly and with care around the work area. Before installing the Mounting Sleeve, verify that the Mounting Pole is plumb to the ground and hasn't shifted or leaned while the concrete footing has cured.
CAUTION: This is a two person activity. The Strongback must be held in place by one person while the second person aligns it and secures it to the Mounting Sleeve using the Pivot Bolt and the 1/2” hardware. Failure to do so could lead to serious personal injury. B. Remove the Pivot Bolt from the Mounting Sleeve and collect the 3/8” x 1-1/4” bolt, flat washers and lock washer needed to secure the Support Bar to its Pivot Tab on the Mounting Sleeve. C.
F. Pivot the Strongback and the Support Bar to align the mounting holes of the Support Bar with the Pivot Tab on the Mounting Sleeve. Insert the 3/8” x 1-1/4” bolt and one flat washer thru the Support Bar and Mounting Tab and secure it with the remaining flat washer, lock washer and hex nut. Torque hardware on both ends of Support Bar at 32-34 ft.-lbs. (See Figure 2-3) G. Return and tighten the Pivot Bolt, Torque to 75-85 ft.-lbs. CAUTION: This is a two person activity.
CAUTION: This is a two person activity. PV Modules are heavy and unstable before they are fully secured to the Module Rails. PV Modules must be held in place by one person while the second person aligns and secures them to the Module Rails. Failure to do so could lead to serious personal injury and damaged components. Step 4: Installing PV Modules to Module Rails PV Modules are secured to the Module Rails using 1/4” x 3/4” bolts and hardware. A. Place the PV Module on the Module Rails.
CAUTION: Do not attempt to remove the Pivot Bolt during tilt adjustments! Removal could lead to serious personal injury or death. Adjustments are made with the Pivot Bolt hardware loosened but in place. CAUTION: This is a two person activity. As the Pivot Bolt is loosened and the Support Bar hardware is removed, the rack is heavy and unstable. The rack must be held in place by one person while the second person loosens and removes the hardware and then re-installs/tightens the hardware back in place.
