When using the GBL-4DBT grounding lug, assemble the grounding lug to 

aluminum frame using stainless steel M5 screw and hardware as shown above.The 
star washer is fitted directly under the grounding lug and makes electrical contact  
by penetrating the anodized coating of the aluminum frame; the screw assembly a 
future fitted with a flat washer, then a split lock washer finally a nut to secure the entire 
assembley (see the picture above). Recommended M5 screw assembly torque is 1.5N-m. 
Next insert the ground wire (10-12 AWG exposed copper wire is recommended) to the 
feet of the lug, and screw down the slotted screw. Be carerful not to damage the wire 
core.

To ensure optimum module performance, Suntech recommends the following 
maintenance measures:
• 

Clean the module minimum once a year or more often when required depending 

of the pollution. Remove all organic from the surface. Module with soiling or 
contamination may reduce the power generation of the system.  Always use clean 
water and a soft non-abrasive sponge or cloth for cleaning. A mild, non-abrasive 
cleaning agent may be used to remove stubborn dirt.
• 

Uncontrolled pollution is voiding the warranty or not cleaning the modules in time 

voids the warranty.
• 

Check the electrical, grounding and mechanical connections every six months to 

verify that they are clean, secure,undamaged and free of corrosion. Or else the warranty 
may be voided.
• 

In the event of a ground fault condition, NEVER wash or spray modules with water 

until ground fault has been identified, corrected by an authorized solar inverter service  
technician and the inverter is fully operational. This can cause electrocution or a serious 
safety issue.
• 

If any problem arises, consult a professional solar service providers for suggestions.

• 

Caution: observe solar manufacturers' maintenance instructions for all components 

used in the system, such as support frames, charging regulators, inverters, batteries etc.
