4 1) Install first Post to the proper height, with the opening facing north, and plumb to within +/- 1 degree. Make sure next Posts are installed at specified distances from marked locations (East-West +/- 1", North-South +/-1") The racking system allows for +/-2" but this will make more adjustment of purlins necessary and slow down installation. Make sure tops of Posts are leveled to be at a consistent height or slope depending on the topography of the land (with a tolerance of optimally +/- 1 inch). Note that embedment depth will vary to handle rolling ground variations. Gamechange provides piles with additional length enabling an adjustment range typically of 4" to 6". Be careful to always meet minimum embedment depth and ground clearance requirement. 2) Place NS Beams on top of Posts with longer part to the south. Align 3/4" mounting hole with 3/4" slot on top of Post. 3) Attach NS Beam using 2 sets of 3/4" bolts, washer (under bolt head and serrated flange nut) and serrated flange nuts. Do this on both sides of Post. Do not fully tighten. 1 Proper height 2 10b North Make sure Post are plumb, optimally +/- 1 deg so long as: Not more than +/- 1 1/2 inches on east to west direction at top of post (from the proper post location marked on ground).the racking system allows for +/- 2 1/2 inches but this will make more adjustment of purlins necessary and slow down installation. Not more than +/- 1 inch north to south direction at top of post (from the proper post location marked on ground) Make sure defined distance between foundations is measured from center of post to center of next post along the ground (not from plan view). Otherwise foundation locations will creep if there is rolling terrain. since plan view does not factor in dimensions differences caused by terrain. This could make purlin attachment more difficult. 1 SA Layout module. rectified. organizations and procedures as outlined in this Install manual, both for mechanical 3/4" hardware = 140 ft-lbs over time.

5 7) Attach EW Purlins to NS Beams using 3/8-inch bolts and serrated flange nuts. EW Purlins should be attached with 2 bolts. Place a Beam Washer Double on the under side of the Beam. Place a Purlin Washer under the hex bolt closer to the Purlin wall while the hex bolt further from the Purlin wall only receives a flange nut. Tighten hardware to specification. Alternatively bolts may come up and flange nuts be above Purlins. If Purlin hannel Washers are provided as an alternate to Purlin Washers, be sure that the bent flange is bearing against the Purlin wall prior to torquing the hardware. It is essential to always use Purlin hannel Washers with Gauge Purlins 8) For continuous configurations, Purlin ends shall be connected together using 3/8"bolts (serrated head or not), washers and serrated flange nuts. Torque to specifications. When floating Purlin connect to table Purlins, there will be a nominal drop of 1/8 to 1/4 inch from one Purlin to the next, which will result in a small corresponding drop from one panel to the next. This is normal, and is not a shading or functional issue. ontinuous System 1 SA Layout See Step 8 for onnection module. rectified. organizations and procedures as outlined in this Install manual, both for mechanical 3/4" hardware = 140 ft-lbs over time.

Place a star washer at one mounting location per panel. Insert hex bolt through the Purlin, the mounting hole on the back of the panel, and then through the star washer. Attach with a serrated flange nuts on the bolt end inside the panel. heck again to make sure star washer is still in place. Torque to specifications. Repeat for all panels. 11) For bottom mount attachment of panels Gamehange typically provides slotted panel mounting holes to enable panel adjustment in case purlins are not perfectly aligned due to rolling or otherwise uneven ground situations. It is the customer's responsibility to make sure to follow panel spacing guidelines if any are given by panel vendor in their specification sheet or elsewhere, otherwise panel warranty could be voided. In all cases make sure panel spacing is the greater of 1/8 inch or the minimum called out by the panel vendor. This will allow for thermal expansion of panels. Gamehange systems typically enable 1/2 inch panel spacing if aligned properly. Spacing between panels can be set by placing a temporary spacer such as bolt shaft or plywood of same thickness as required for panel spacing between panels while they are being installed. This spacer should be removed after panel installation is complete. 12) The modules, EW Purlins and NS Beams are all bonded together, left to right, so that each row form one single structure. Gamehange recommends up to strings may be grounded on one grounding lug which should be attached at the hole provided next to the marking GROUND. Install ooper, Burndy, or Eaton. UL approved grounding lug with 1/4-inch bolts as in accordance with NE Article 690 to the end of the last EW Purlin which has panels attached to it which are to be bonded, using 8 gauge copper wire. Repeat for each strings. The entire system needs to be grounded from a single point to an appropriate grounding source. **Please confirm with an electrician, as this is their responsibility** 1 SA Layout 12a 8 11 PARTS LIST Item No. Description Part No. Material 1 Post G61 Galvanized Steel G235 2 NS Beam G62H Galvanized Steel G90 3 EW Purlin G63/G63N Galvanized Steel G90 4 Brace for NS Beam G64HX Galvanized Steel G90 5 Bend Strap G871 Galvanized Steel G90 6 Roll Tie G872 Galvanized Steel G90 7 Roll Strap G873 Galvanized Steel G90 8 Star Washer Stainless Steel 3/8- Serrated Flange Bolts 3/4-10 Serrated Flange Bolts 10a 3/8" Washer HDG or 10b 3/4" Washer HDG or 11 1/4-20 Hex Bolts Stainless Steel 12a 1/4-20 Serrated Flange Nuts Stainless Steel 3/8- Serrated Flange Nuts Stainless Steel or 12c 3/4-10 Serrated Flange Nuts Stainless Steel or 13 Beam Washer Double G125 Galvanized Steel G90 14 Purlin Washer G123 Galvanized Steel G90 15 Purlin Washer hannel G126 Galvanized Steel G90 Purlin Angle G874 Galvanized Steel G90 Use only Gamehange parts.
