Please read these assembly instructions
carefully prior to installation and ensure
adherence to all safety instructions.
Always ensure adherence to all relevant
Work
Safety regulations
and that all technology is
state-of-the-art, in particular where relevant to
roof work
Important:
With this type of assembly, it
may not be possible to completely empty the
collectors. For this reason, the solar system
should only be filled with a mixture of water
and antifreeze. This means that it is also
essential to top up the collectors with antifreeze
after pressure or functional tests!
Important:
If collectors are stored prior to
assembly, always ensure that they are never
stored in the open air, lying on their glass sur-
face and/or uncovered, as this may allow mois-
ture to penetrate the vent holes in the frame.
When installing the collector connectors, please
bear in mind that they are soft-annealed, so
counter-pressure should always be applied
when tightening the ½” threaded joint! Failure
to do so may result in damage to the collector!

Proper use of ladders
Ladders should only be used for a working
height below 5 m. Position the ladder at an
angle of 65° to 75° and secure. The top end
of the ladder must extend at least 1 m above
exit point.
Fall protection
If working at a height above 3 m, always
use fall protection equipment when working
on sloping roofs (20° to 60°) (VBG 37, § 8).
The vertical distance for a workplace safety
device (roof safety platform or other kind of
protective roof barrier) is max. 5 m. A safety
harness may also be used as fall protection.
Secure universal fastening safety anchors to
load-bearing parts above the worker. Do not
use ladder hooks!
Protection against falling objects
Access routes and workplaces located below
the work site must be protected against falling
objects. These areas must be clearly signed and
cordoned off.
