SAFETY AND INSTALLER RESPONSIBILITIES
Handling and Installing Antaisolar
It is critically important that safety practices are observed when installing
Do not throw or roughly handle any Antaisolar components.
Do not bring Antaisolar system into contact with sharp or heavy objects.
Do not modify Antaisolar components in any way. The exchange of bolts, drilling of holes, bending or any
other physical changes not described in standard installation procedure will void the warranty.
It is the installer’s responsibility to verify the integrity of the structure to which Antaisolar components is
fixed. Roofs or structures with rotten/rusted bearers, undersized bearers, excessively spaced bearers, or
any other unsuitable substructure cannot be used with Antaisolar components, and installation on such
structures will void the warranty, and could result in death or serious injury.
Wind and Climate Design
AS/NZS1170.2.2011 provides guidance on determining the wind pressures applicable to your Antaisolar
system install site, taking into account roof shape and geographic location. Sufficient guidance is given in this
document, but you may wish to procure a copy of these standards if your company installs Australia/New
Zealand wide.
REMEMBER average wind speeds are higher for structures mounted closer to the roof perimeter zone
(edge). Refer to ‘Fixing within Roof Installation Zone’ for more information)
Make sure your installation complies with local and national building codes. Take into account relevant
design parameters (wind speed, exposure and topographic factor) when determining the loading for the
installation.
If alternative fasteners are used to ix the framing to the roof (assuming supplied fasteners are unsuitable
for any reason), all screw fasteners must conform to corrosion resistance Class 4 Australian Standard
AS3566 and be of equal or greater strength to those supplied with your Antaisolar system order.
