The components indicated in this handbook must be used when assembling. The use of
other material is under the responsibility of the installer, who assumes full responsibility,
including the product guarantee.

The manufacturer is not liable for any work not carried out in a state-of-the-art manner, as
defined in Decree 37/2008, and for any damage caused to the structure or the tools used.
y
y
Before installing and using the system, it is advisable to check local regulations and laws
to make sure that what is described in this document complies with them. Should they be
different, do not install the system and contact the manufacturer.
y
y
The manufacturer is not liable for any damage caused to things and injury to people as a re-
sult of installation carried out without respecting local regulations and laws.
The system can only be moved when empty and extremely carefully. Do not use or apply force
to the plastic threaded connections in order to lift the product.

When moving, always use people who are competent, trained and equipped according to
what is imposed by laws in force. Always use means of transport, lifting devices, chains and
any other things that are of a suitable capacity and size.
Structural check
The
EGO
PRIME solar collector with integrated storage can be placed on the ground or on
a structure (attic, covering, balcony, etc...) that can support the device weight and dynamic
actions caused by variable things (e.g. wind, snow,...), considered with the presence of “EGO”
solar collector with integrated storage.
In the case of already-existing buildings in particular, all combinations of
the static capacity of the structural elements and anchors used must be
carefully evaluated, according to what is indicated in the technical
standards for construction (NTC 2008, in Italy), or the Eurocodes (EN 1991,
in Europe). This check must be carried out by a structural technician who is
authorised to work in the installation area.
Be very careful of the load increase caused by snow or strong wind. The manufacturer is not
responsible for damage to things or injury to people caused by bad installation on structures
that cannot support the indicated loads.
Safety precautions while assembling
DANGER CAUSED BY WIND
Install when the weather conditions are good, avoid rainy days and strong
winds.
DANGER CAUSED BY THINGS FALLING FROM A HEIGHT
Solar systems often need to be installed at a height.
Operators must follow regulations and laws in force regarding safety.
DANGER CAUSED BY HANGING LOADS AND MATERIAL
FALLING FROM A HEIGHT
If material needs to be lifted using a crane or machinery, apply all the per-
tinent recommendations and regulations in order to carry out these opera-
tions safely. Use suitable means of the correct capacity. Mark off the area
where the lifting is being carried out, to prevent risks caused by objects fal-
ling from a height.
