Section 3 Install the Fork Extensions, Torque Tube & Elevation Actuator BOLT THE FORK EXTENSIONS ONTO THE DRIVE (Most trackers are shipped from the factory with the lower fork extensions installed. Check the bolts to make sure that they did not loosen in transit.) Bolt the Lower Fork Extensions onto the AZ-225 Drive. The forks angle downward and to the insides of the torque tube pivot holes on the drive. Each extension has two holes to secure it to the drive. That leaves a single hole at the end of each fork to bolt in the Elevation Actuator. WARNING! The AZ-225 Drive weighs from 170 to 220 pounds! Do not use the Azimuth motor or tracker controller as “lift handles.” You will damage the motor gearing or tracker controller if you put any unusual force on them. You will have to be able to lift the AZ-225 Drive up, over and down on top of your mounting pole. Placing the drive on top of the pipe is at least a “two person” job. The drive is much easier to set using a boom and pulley arrangement or suspending it from a backhoe bucket or other appropriate method. Make sure that the drive “seats” completely over the pipe. Back out the 4 set bolts and set aside if necessary to make sure that they do no catch on the top of the pipe. The 4 "cup point" set bolts "dig and cut" in to the steel pipe. Tighten the set bolts so that they put strong and equal pressure on the pipe mast. Each bolt should "show" an equal amount of thread when you are finished. Each set bolt should be tightened to 80 Ft-Lbs of torque. 8
