5 POINTS TO CHECK BEFORE INSTALLATION WORK
WARNING
• The solar modules generate electricity when exposed to sunlight, so be careful not
to short circuit the output cables. The cables can become overheated and their cable
sheaths can melt.
• Stop working when the surface of the roof is wet. There is a danger of slipping,
falling, and shock.
CAUTION
• Never step or sit on the glass surface of the solar modules. The glass may break.
• Do not twist the solar modules when you mount them (twisting should not exceed
0.1" per 4"). Failures and damage can result.
• When you mount the solar modules on the rail, never allow an output cable to
become caught between the rail and a module frame. Short circuits and fire can
result.
5.1 UNPACKING AND CHECKING PARTS
When you unpack the system, check the model names of the components of each
system and check to be sure that you have the correct number of parts.
