STEP 1

Remove solar collectors (A) from the

box and place side by side in front of you with the
narrow part of the headers (B) to the left on a
clean, flat surface. The header with the word
"POOLSOLAR" must be visible. To check if the
matting is the right way up, look at the
rubber that connects the absorber tubes
together; the material should arch
upwards (C).

STEP 2

Join the polypropylene headers together applying a

liberal amount of  lubricant (provided) (D) to the header o-
ring.  Make sure that the o-ring doesn't bulge out after
clicking the headers together. Do not attempt to glue headers
together.

STEP 3 

Push the rubber edges (E) together so the

absorbers (EPDM matting) are united as a whole.

Tip - use a mini wallpaper roller to push the absorbers
together!

STEP 4 

Before applying to the roof, make sure that the

Poolsolar is the right way up. Small holes (F) are located
along the length of the absorbers to allow rain water to be
drained. Make sure that the holes are not blocked
especially on a flat roof.  Do not use screws in these
holes to fix the absorbers.
