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, check assembly instructions.
4.
Counterweight must be properly adjusted per instructions.
5.
The Track Rack™ must be in a location that maintains a clear line-of-site 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. Use the seasonal adjustment arm. This will vary with your location’s latitude.
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 (Sealed bearings not included) twice a year.
2.
Paint touch up will be necessary to prevent rusting.
3.
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.
4.
Check that the shock bolts and shock arm bracket bolts are tight two times per year. A tracker is defenseless
against the wind without functioning shock absorbers.
