Module Installation
NOTE: Modules must be installed so that they are balanced on the rack. At least 1/4”
space between modules is recommended.
•
Make sure that the Axle Assembly is at its shallowest tilt angle, this will make
installation easier.
•
Square the Cross Arms as best as you can. Some force is required to swivel the
bearing in its housing.
•
Measure the distance between the module mounting holes along the long edge.
•
Adjust the spacing of the Cross Arms (by adjusting Inner Axle) so that the centerline
distance of the slots matches the measured distance on the modules.
•
Start by pre-installing the provided 1/4” hex bolts in to the slots on the extruded rails (2
bolts on each rail per module).
•
Lift module up to the Cross Arms and locate the innermost hex bolt on the North Cross
Arm with the mounting hole on the backside of the module. Install provided flange nut.
•
HINT
: First lightly tighten the bolt closest to the center of the North Cross Arm.
Next, align the edge of the module so that it is aligned with the centerline of the
rack. Lightly tighten the same-side bolt on the South Cross Arm. At this point,
make any needed adjustments to the alignment or spacing of the Cross Arms. If
done correctly, installing the other modules will be quite a bit easier.
•
When the alignment looks good
install remaining bolt / nuts.
•
Tighten 1/4” hardware to no
more than 75 in-lbs (6 ft-lbs).
