UTR-20 Assembly Instructions

IMPORTANT NOTES TO REMEMBER:

1. The Track Rack™ must be assembled according to the instructions.

2. The Track Rack™ should move smoothly through the entire range of motion, with the only drag supplied by

the shock absorbers. If friction or interference is noted, check assembly against the instructions and make

required corrections.

3. The photovoltaic modules should be centered and mounted evenly as per the instructions. The canisters on

each side of a Track Rack™ should not be “shaded” by the photovoltaic modules.

YOU MUST MAINTAIN AT LEAST A 2” MINIMUM CLEARANCE, see Step 9.

4. Counterweight must be properly adjusted per instructions.

5. The Track Rack™ must be in a location that maintains a clear line-of-sight to the sun throughout the day,

and during different seasons. Remember that the sun’s position in the sky changes from season to season.

6. To maintain optimum sun exposure you may want to adjust your Track Rack™ for the winter & summer

seasons. See Step 12.

7. A shadow from structures, trees or other objects that may miss the Tracker in the summer may fall across it

in the winter, preventing its operation.

MAINTENANCE:

1. The maintenance required is lubrication of greaseable bearings TWICE A YEAR and paint touch up if

necessary to prevent rusting.

2. If the Track Rack™ is installed in a corrosive climate, check the axle and bearings frequently for rust or

corrosion; you may need to grease the bearings 3 to 4 times per year and keep the axle coated with grease.

3. Check that the shock bolts and shock arm bracket bolts are tight. A tracker is defenseless against the wind

without functioning shock absorbers. If the tracker, for whatever reason, does not have shocks attached

secure the tracker in one position to prevent wind damage.

IMPORTANT FINAL NOTE:

YOUR ZOMEWORKS TRACK RACK™ WILL MOVE IN THE WIND,

MUCH AS TREES DO. THIS MOTION IS EXPECTED AND DOES NOT

HARM THE TRACKER OR ITS PERFORMANCE. UNLESS THE

TRACKER IS BLOWN FAR OFF THE SUN AND STAYS THERE, THE

ENERGY GAIN IS HARDLY AFFECTED. OVERALL, TRACK RACKS™

FAR EXCEED THE PERFORMANCE OF A FIXED ARRAY. IF HIGH

WINDS ARE EXPECTED, AS IN A HURRICANE, SECURE THE

TRACKER AS HORIZONTAL AS POSSIBLE AND TIE DOWN.
