[RE-wrenches] Poletop rack with easy tilt change...anybody got that?

[Ray Walters]

We've also added a tractor type turnbuckle to the DPW racks that allows 
the tilt adjust without taking loose the array.
As others noted, the Top of Pole mounts are usually center balanced, so 
the tilt adjust is fairly easy, but wind can certainly grab the array 
while its loose, and cause trouble.
