Thank you for purchasing a Unirac. Please read these
guidelines completely before proceeding.
This rack is intended for a 2.5-inch (65 mm) Schedule 40
steel pole, outside diameter 2.875 inches (73.0 mm). For
larger diameter poles, Unirac can fill special orders for
larger U-bolts.
The installer is solely responsible for:
• complying with all applicable building codes, in-
cluding any that supercede these instructions;
• pole installation appropriate to local wind and soil
conditions;
• using only Unirac parts and installer-supplied parts
as specified by Unirac (substitution of parts will
void the warranty);
• installing all electrical aspects of the PV array.

Stainless steel hardware can seize up,
a process called galling. To significantly
reduce its likelihood, (1) apply lubricant
to bolts, preferably an anti-seize lubricant, avail-
able at auto parts stores, (2) shade hardware
prior to installation, and (3) avoid spinning on
nuts at high speed. See Installation Supplement
910, Galling and Its Prevention, at www.Unirac.
