General Notes
oThe hot dip galvanizing process may sometimes cause zinc accumulation
inside holes or along edges. This is normal. Bolts / hardware can be
lightly tapped through the holes to clear the buildup. Alternatively they can
be cleaned up with a drill so long as the Zinc is not completely stripped
oDrawings in this installation manual are examples and are NOT specific to your
order.
oWhen installing components do not fully tighten components until specified
oPrior to installation, ensure that you are in possess all of the required
components for installation

i. Main diagonal
member
ii. Column
iii. Support Brace
iv. Connection Tube
v. Splice Plates (4)
vi. Feet (2)
b. Pre-Assemble the A-Frame using the included 3/8” hardware with the

the slots are perpendicular to the main diagonal. The location of the
plates depends on whether you are using 60 or 72 cell modules. Check
the module manufacturers guidelines to ensure that your modules are

using the High Wind Ground Mount, the length of the cross bracing will
be 131.45”, if you are using the Standard Ground Mount model the cross
bracing will be 170.6”
b. Position feet on foundation –See Appendix 2 Spacing Guidelines and
Appendix 3 Foot Detail
i. Spacing between A-Frames is 124.5” if using the High Wind
Ground Mount and 165.17” if using the Standard Ground Mount
ii. Spacing between front and rear feet is 91.98”
c. Establish the highest point (ballast or ground screw) where an A-Frame
foot will be located. This will be known as the datum foot. Once the
position is confirmed for all feet fasten them in place (Hardware not
included)
