2.7 Mounting the Payload

This section discusses mounting the payload.
Safety Instruction – Mounting Instructions! Before operation, be certain the positioner is
capable of resisting forces generated from all loading and environmental conditions
including, but not limited to resonance/natural frequency, payload size and weight, sail size,
and wind and ice loading. The mounting hardware must include proper means to resist
vibration loosening such as thread-locking compound or locking hardware. Mounting the
payload onto a positioner unable to resist the forces generated from the customer-specific
loading scenario could result in death or serious injury, this can also damage the positioner.
To attach the payload:
1. Ensure power to the system is off while installing the payload.
2. Reference the payload mounting hole patterns for each positioner on the next page.
Torque all hardware as appropriate for its material and size. The mounting hardware
must include proper means to resist vibration loosening such as thread-locking
compound or locking hardware.
3. Position the payload on the mounting plate.
4. Connect the payload to the top of the positioner with appropriate hardware. Torque
all hardware as appropriate for its material and size. The mounting hardware must
include proper means to resist vibration loosening such as thread-locking compound
or locking hardware. Ensure hardware does not contact body of positioner at any
point along the tilt path.
