10 year limited Product Warranty

Unirac, Inc., warrants to the original purchaser 
(“Purchaser”) of product(s) that it manufactures 
(“Product”) at the original installation site that 
the Product shall be free from defects in material 
and workmanship for a period of ten (10) years, 
from the earlier of 1) the date the installation 
of the Product is completed, or 2) 30 days after 
the purchase of the Product by the original 
Purchaser. This Warranty does not cover damage 
to the Product that occurs during its shipment, 
storage, or installation.

This Warranty shall be VOID if installation of 
the Product is not performed in accordance 

with Unirac’s written installation instructions, or 
if the Product has been modified, repaired, or 
reworked in a manner not previously authorized 
by Unirac IN WRITING, or if the Product is 
installed in an environment for which it was 
not designed. Unirac shall not be liable for 
consequential, contingent or incidental damages 
arising out of the use of the Product by the 
Purchaser under any circumstances.  

If within the specified Warranty period the 
Product shall be reasonably proven to be 
defective, then Unirac shall repair or replace the 
defective Product, or any part thereof, in Unirac’s 

sole discretion. Such repair or replacement shall 
completely satisfy and discharge all of Unirac’s 
liability with respect to this limited Warranty. 
Under no circumstances shall Unirac be liable 
for special, indirect or consequential damages 
arising out of or related to use by Purchaser of 
the Product.

Manufacturers of related items, such as PV 
modules and flashings, may provide written 
warranties of their own. Unirac’s limited 
Warranty covers only its Product, and not any 
related items.

Final adjustments

Once the rack/PV module assembly is attached to the pole, 

raise and rotate the  assembly as needed. 

Never let the as-

sembly slide down the pole.

 Tighten the flange nuts on the 

U-bolt and channel bracket bolts. Then tilt the rails to bring 

the module to the desired angle. Tighten the bracket/rail and 

module.
If desired, install the self-tapping screws to permanently 

fix the angle of the rack/PV module assembly.

Module attachment

Attach the PV module to the rack using clips and ¼-inch hard-

ware. Be sure to center the module on the channel. If channel 

slots do not allow correct spacing and centering: (1) move the 

clips to the other side of the rails, (2) reverse the brackets, or 

(3) move the rails to the other side of the brackets.

to secure the module bolt without the washer.  Use the washer 

with larger holes. If in doubt, use the washer.
