D) The FLEX devices can be installed vertically, horizontally or at an angle. The goal
consists in the prevention of sticking an excessive amount of dust and dirt from the
technology on the membrane. The allowed positioning of the installation is shown in
fig. 9.

E) If FLEX C3, C4 or C5 is positioned otherwise than vertically, the end of the device
must be fixed in the way that the load from the FLEX weight is distributed evenly
between both the ends of the device. The end of FLEX must be hung by the welded
eyes on the FLEX cover (lid) using a suitable structure. An example of such
suspension is shown in fig. 10. The specific fastening method must be discussed with
the manufacturer or the supplier. The dimension of the structure as well as all
suspension components must be fit for the load from the FLEX weight for all FLEX
types and sizes. In the event of installation, the device must also be sufficiently sized
to withstand the weight of the FLEX device.
