Place the two collectors side by side on the roof floor.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT REMOVE COLLECTOR COVER SHEET BEFORE CONNECTING THE SYSTEM!
Install the top and bottom braces between the collectors. The bolts should be tight enough to prevent
excessive free play while allowing sliding of the collectors towards each other.
Connect the absorber tubes between the collectors by the appropriate fittings. Ensure that the
collectors are parallel and as close to each other as possible. Tighten the fittings.

TIGHTENED. FAILURE TO DO SO MAY RESULT IN DAMAGE TO ABSORBERS!
Centre the top and bottom braces and tighten the 4 securing bolts.
Ensure that the dual collector assembly is one body.
Install the collector feet according to Step 2 in Chapter IV.
Follow Steps 3-16 of Chapter IV to complete the installation.
