Installation Guide V 1.4 - NO.:PZ30-IM01-14
All drawings and dimensions in this installation guide are for a generic reference. The Clenergy PVezRack® SolarBase
is to be optimized to suit specific conditions for each project and documented in a construction drawing. As a result,
major components of the Clenergy PVezRack® SolarBase may be provided in section sizes and lengths that vary from
those shown in this guide. The installation process detailed in this instruction guide remains the same regardless of
the component size. In case you need to do any on-site modifications or alteration of the system in a way that would
be different from the construction drawing please provide marked up drawings/sketches for Clenergy’s review prior
modification for comment and approval.

Precautions during Stainless Steel Fastener Installation
Improper operation may lead to deadlock of Bolts and Nut. Follow the steps below to reduce this risk
Reduce the friction coefficient
(1) Ensure that the thread surface is clean (no dirt or contaminant)
(2) Apply lubricant (grease or 40# engine oil) to fasteners prior tightening to avoid galling or seizing in the threads;
General installation instructions
(1) Apply force to fasteners in the direction of thread;
(2) Apply force uniformly, to maintain required torque;
(3) Professional tools and tool belts are recommended;
(4) Avoid using electric tools for final tightening;
(5) Avoid working at high temperatures;
Safe Torques
Please refer to safe torques defined in this guide as shown in below; In case power tools are required, Clenergy
recommends the use of low speed only. High speed and impact drivers increase the risk of bolt galling (deadlock) If
deadlock occurs and you need to cut fasteners please make sure that there is no load on the fastener before you cut it.
Avoid damaging the anodized or galvanized surfaces.
