8.0 Maintenance and Product Care
The G Series solar engines are designed to operate reliably for years with virtually no need for maintenance.
Carmanah recommends routine inspections of the solar panels to ensure that they are unobstructed by anything
that may prevent effective solar charging, including:
•
Dirt and dust
•
Snow
•
Leaves
•
Debris
•
Shade that may have developed after installation due to adjacent plant growth.
The frequency of the inspections depends on location and local weather patterns. A yearly visual inspection of the
solar engine is typically sufficient. The system is designed to be maintenance free, but maximum system
performance is achieved when the LED lenses and solar panels are clean. When inspecting the interior, ensure
that the vent screens are undamaged and that the vents are clear and allow airflow.
Ensure cabinet door is fully closed and latched otherwise damage may occur
.
The cabinet can be ordered with an optional padlockable latch for extra security.
8.1 Fuse Replacement
To replace the fuses:
1. Remove any metal jewelry and keep any tools or other conductive objects away from the exposed fuses
or battery terminals.
2. Check all wiring for any faults that may have caused a fuse to blow.
3. Identify the battery and solar fuses on the right side of the cabinet. Carefully pry out the solar fuse first,
then the battery fuse.
