Installing the storage tank

WARNING: 

Risk to life from falling parts!

The accumulation of snow above the storage tank generates 
considerable forces. 

▶ Install a snow guard above the storage tank (maintain a clearance of 

no more than 1 m between the storage tank and the snow guard). 

▶ Alternatively: regularly clear snow build-up. 

▶ Place the storage tank strap into the recesses of the short profile rails 

and tighten.

Fig. 33   Installing the storage tank strap

The storage tank is heavy and awkward to handle. Note the position of 
the storage tank on the installation set before carrying it. 

▶ Adhere the adhesive strips to the storage tank straps as tank 

protection [1].

▶ Place the storage tank in the middle of the storage tank straps and 

rotate it until the storage tank connections are vertical [2].

▶ Align the storage tank so that the drainage pipe [1] is not closed off 

at the bottom by the storage tank strap.

Fig. 35   Do not block the drainage pipe 

▶ Install a hexagon bolt M8 × 50 with a flat washer and aluminium nut 

[2] on the storage tank [1].

▶ Slide the aluminium nut into the profile rail and tighten the 

connection.
