Step 7: Adjust the Tilt Angle of the Rack
To adjust the tilt angle, loosen the Pivot Bolt hardware and removing the Support
Arm upper hardware attaching the Support Arm to the Strongback. Use great care in
this procedure as it can be dangerous if the procedure is not completed as described
with a minimum of two people. (See Figure 7-1)
A. While one person holds the south edge of rack, the other loosens the Pivot
Bolt and removes the upper 3/8” or 1/2” hardware attaching the Support Bar
to the Strongback.
B. Tilt the rack to the desired elevation angle (15°, 25°, 35°, 45°, 55°, or 65°)
and re-attach the Support Bar to the Strongback placing the 3/8” or 1/2”
hardware in the appropriate hole matching the desired elevation.
(See
Figure 7-2)
Torque to
32-34 ft.-lbs. for 3/8” hardware or 72-80 ft.-lbs. for 1/2” hardware.
CAUTION:
Do not attempt to
remove the Pivot
Bolt during tilt
adjustments!
Removal could
lead to serious
personal injury or
death. Adjustments
are made with the
Pivot Bolt
hardware loosened
but in place.
CAUTION:
This is a two
person activity. As
the Pivot Bolt is
loosened and the
Support Bar
hardware is
removed, the rack
is heavy and
unstable. The rack
must be held in
place by one
person while the
second person
loosens and
removes the
hardware and then
re-installs/tightens
the hardware back
in place. Failure to
do so could lead
to serious
personal injury
and damaged
components.
