Optional Components
For mounting (Not included)
Depending on mounting surface: (for the upper bucket)
1 Pair of 1/2-13 U-bolts for 2”,3”,4” pipe sizes
2 sets of ½” lag bolts and washers.
(For lower bucket)
2 sets of 1/4" lag bolts and washers
Step 1. Measure PV Mounting Hole Distance
A. Lay the module(s) face down on a protected surface in the suitable orientation.
B. Measure the center to center distance between the inside mounting holes on the back of the PV module
as shown and make a note of it.

Step 2. Mounting Rail Supports on PV Module
A. Review the reference diagrams to determine the orientation of the panel support rails (facing in or out)
and the end clips (facing in or out), based on the center to center range of your module.
B. Secure the rails with a 1/4-20 x 3/4”bolt, lock washer, and hex nut in each of the PV mounting holes
see page 6 for reference view.
C. Torque the bolts to 84 in-Lbs

Step 3. Attaching Clips to Rails
A. Attach the clips to the rails as determined by the
bucket range diagrams (shown in previous step).
Example shown has the clips facing in on the inside
of the rails that are facing out.
Note the orientation of the curved slot
B. In each of the clip mounting holes, use a 5/16-18 x
3/4”bolt
and flat washer on one side and a flat
washer, lock washer
and nut on the other. Tighten
these bolts finger tight only at this time (these will
torque to 144 in-lbs. after
assembly is finished and the
tilt angle is final.)

Step 4. Attaching Bucket to Pole
A. Un-screw the hose clamp to release the end and thread each
hose clamp through one of the sets of narrow center slots in SOLID SECTION
the bucket(s) as shown and place at the desired location on the
pole.
NOTE: KEEP THE SOLID SECTION OF THE CLAMP CROSSING OVER BOTH SLOTS.
B.
Once the hose clamps are in the desired
position, tighten the
hose clamp screws to 35 in-
lbs.
NOTE: ALWAYS RECHECK TORQUE ON HOSE
CLAMPS AFTER EXPOSURE TO WINDY
CONDITIONS.
Optional hardware mounting not included
C. In high loading conditions,in conjunction with the
hose clamps, add the optional 1/2-13 U-Bolts as
appropriate for the pipe size being used,
( 2” to 4” pipe size) Tighten
securely but take care
not to deform the bucket
D. Use 1/2” lag bolts as appropriate to a wooden
structure being mounted to (telephone pole or
post Etc.). Tighten
securely but take care not to
deform the bucket.

Step 5. Mounting PV Assembly on Pole
A. Place the PV module assembly so the holes on the clips line up with holes in the inside of the bucket.
Depending on the size of the panel you started with, your assembly may look different than what is
shown in
the provided view, with the clips and rails facing in the opposite direction.
B. Attach the clips to the bucket. In each of the 4 mounting holes, use a 5/16-18 x 3/4”bolt and flat washer
on one side
and a washer, lock washer and nut on the other. Tighten bolts to 144 in-lbs.
Set desired angle and Tighten bolts only enough to hold angle to install knee brace .
After Knee brace is installed then torque to 144 in-lbs
