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” hardware in
the appropriate hole matching the desired elevation.
(See Figure 6-2)
Torque to 32-34 ft.-lbs.
C. Re-tighten the Pivot Bolt. After changing the tilt angle and tightening the
Support Bar hardware, the Pivot Bolt must be re-tightened. The Pivot Bolt
cannot be left loose - the Mounting Sleeve Vertical Towers must be firmly
clamped to the sides of the Strongback eliminating any gaps between the
Vertical Towers and the Strongback. (See Figure
6-3)
Torque to 125-150 ft.-lbs.
