3 - POSITIONING
The units installed outdoors require greater care, both for the
reasons already mentioned and due to the correct application
of the rain cover, which is subject to strong winds.
Special attention should be paid to the seal gaskets.
Any flashing fitted to the base must be installed so as to
prevent the infiltration of water, therefore pay special
attention to the gasket and the silicon seals. The height of
the step supporting the unit must be sufficient to avoid any
water or snow from stagnating and that may cause
infiltration.
If the cover is already fitted to the unit and fastened to the
roof of the casing, check for any breakages or loosening
of the screws.
If the cover needs to be installed, make sure all the
material supplied is present: sheets, stiffeners, screws.
Special attention should be paid when fitting the gasket;
use silicon to ensure a perfect seal, where required.

During the installation of units consisting of a series of
sections, pay special attention to the rating plates located on
the sections.
After having applied the self-adhesive gasket between the
strips on the sections being joined, bring the parts together so
that they fit perfectly. It is important during this operation to
make sure that the unit is level.
Tighten the corner gussets (Fig. a) and lock the joint using the
L-shaped nylon blocks (Fig. b).
The gasket, the blocks and the fastening screws are inside
the bag supplied.
