Precautionary Measures for Stainless-Steel Fastener Installation
Improper operation may lead to the deadlock of bolts and nuts. 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 to 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 the figure below. If 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.
Installation Dimensions
All drawings and dimensions in this installation guide are for generic reference. The PVezRack® PostMount 6-A for XL
Panels is to be optimized to suit specific conditions for each project and documented in engineering drawings. As
a result, major components of the PVezRack® PostMount 6-A for XL Panels may be provided in sectional sizes and
lengths that vary from those shown in this guide. The installation operations detailed in this instruction guide remain
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 engineering drawings, please provide marked up drawings/sketches for
Clenergy’s review prior to modification for comment and approval.

Installation Instruction
Dig a hole with the diameter of 300mm .
Place the pole into the middle of the hole and fill it with
concrete (min 25 MPa strength). Maintain the position of
the post. The allowed vertical tolerance is ±2°. Keep the
axle of the 2- Ø22 holes parallel to East-West; keep the
vertical angle deviation within ±5°. For more than one
system on one site maintain all the axles of 2- Ø22 holes
aligned.
Connect the Pipe to the corrugated washer and Steel Cap Assembly with M20*210 hexagonal bolt, spring washer 20,
M20 nut.
Combine two Steel Caps with M20*160 hexagonal bolt, spring washer 20, M20 hex nut.
Notes:
1) Do not fasten the Bolt prior to complete the assembly of PM-A Rectangular Tube-Master.
2) Keep all the Bolt head aligned.

Notes:
1) Adjust the angle of the allation, the angle of the Rectangular
Tube-Master with 10°(6 holes from up to bottom corresponds
to 10° to 60° tilt angle) in order to make the assembly process
run smooth.
2) Using adjustable washers to fill gaps between the
Rectangular Tube-Master and the Adjustable Tube and Steel
Cap. Image on the right shows adjustable washers inserting
between the Rectangular Tube-Master and Steel Cap.
Fix the Rectangular Tube-Master at Steel Cap Assembly
with M20*160 hex bolt, M20 nut, plain washer 20, and spring

Fix the Adjustable Tube at Rectangular Tube-Master with
M20*160 hex bolt, plain washer 20, and spring washer 20,
M20 nut. See the mark (2).
Fix the Adjustable Tube at Steel Cap Assembly with M20*160
hex bolt, M20 nut, plain washer 20, and spring washer 20. See
the mark (3).
Realized the angle adjustment by position the bolt in the
differrent holes.
Fasten the Steel Cap Assembly to Pipe with M20*210,
M20*160 Hex Bolt, keep the Rectangular Tube-Master parallel
to the south-north by adjust the
Steel Cap Assembly
Recommended torque for M20 bolts is 210~220 N·m.
