SYSTEM SETUP AND OPERATION GUIDE FOR THE SOLAR STIK USAF G-BOSS MEDIUM AND HEAVY HYBRID POWER SYSTEM
PRELIMINARY DRAFT
Environmental and Handling Precautions
All Solar Stik components are ruggedized, yet there are a few things the operator can do to prevent
failures and prolong the operational life of the Solar Stik System.
Water
If outdoor operation is necessary, the lids
of all components should be closed and
latched. During operation, cases should be
placed upright, especially during inclement
weather. Lids should be open only to access
operator controls and closed at all other
times.
Impact
Equipment should not be dropped onto hard
surfaces at a height greater than one foot
when transporting or during operation.
Dust/Foreign Object Intrusion
Air intake filters should be cleaned once per
month, or more frequently when conditions
warrant. As a general rule, minimize exposure
to high levels of particulates and foreign
object debris by exercising common-sense
placement and protection during both
operation
and
storage.
Heat
Heat and solar loading reduces efficiency and
life expectancy. Shade components (except
PV panels) to prevent the negative effects of
heat.
