grit before plugging them in).
• This appliance is not intended to be used by people (including children) with reduced
physical or mental capabilities, or those who are under the influence of drugs or alcohol.

a well-ventilated area, as far as possible from any ignition sources. Do NOT smoke or have a
naked flame in the vicinity of the battery under charge.
• Ensure nothing sharp or heavy could potentially damage the solar panel during transport or
storage.
• Only use the solar panel to charge 12V batteries.
• Do NOT use the solar panel to charge non-rechargeable batteries. Doing so may result in
harm to the user and/or damage the solar panel and controller.
• Do NOT use different types of panels on the same electrical system.
UNPACKING YOUR SOLAR PANEL
• Find a suitable location to unpack the solar panel, away from sharp objects, liquids and
other hazards that could damage your solar panel. Ensure there is sufficient space for the
solar panel to be spread out fully.

Take care with the panel making sure it does not bend or flex excessively or repetitively as
this may cause irreversible damage to the panel, reducing overall efficiency and weakening
the panels internal structure.
MOUNTING YOUR SOLAR PANEL
• When mounting the panel ensure air is able to pass over at least the surface that is exposed
to sunlight to increase the panels performance.
•
