Risk of Burning
WARNING
!
»
The metal parts of the collector can become very hot when exposed to the sun even on cloudy days and
can cause burns when touched! Do not leave a collector unprotected to the sunlight after unpacking it. Install
the roof assembly on a cloudy day and preferably not at noontime or shade the collector with a light blocking
material.
»
TAKE THE COLLECTOR OUT OF THE BOX ONLY AFTER ALL FASTENING ELEMENTS ARE
ALREADY INSTALLED ON THE ROOF.
If you install multiple panels, remove only one set of collector tubes
from the box and assemble one complete collector before you unpack the next.
»
After a collector is completely installed and exposed to sunlight the risk of burns from hot metal parts is in-
creased. Use caution when working around the collector and use heat protective gloves when handling metal
pipes and connectors associated with the collector.
Personal Risk of Falling
WARNING
!
When working on the roof or climbing up or down ladders or scaffolding there is danger of falling. Please con-
sider the accident prevention regulations (e.g. OSHA) and use appropriate safeguards.
Personal Risk of Falling Objects
WARNING
!
During installations on the roof, there is a danger that tools, assembly equipment or the collector can fall from
the roof and injure persons standing below. Barricade off the danger area on the ground before the start of as-
sembly work and warn persons who are nearby to stay out of the work zone.
Make sure that children and bystanders are kept away.
Unauthorized persons are not allowed to climb onto the roof.
WARNING
!
If the collector is installed on a roof that is not suitable for the installation, the collector can become loosened.
This could lead to damage to the collector and the roof or, if the collector falls from the roof, injuries to some-
one. Therefore, the collector must only be installed on roofs where it can be properly attached.
Handling Glass Tubes
WARNING
!
The glass tubes have a vacuum. Damage due to external pressure, loading or twisting, application of concen-
trated loads or force impact may cause implosion. Flying glass fragments can cause injuries.
