Important Information
General
These instructions must be handed to the user on completion
of the installation.
This installation instruction applies exclusively to the mounting
of the solar collector.
The solar collector is one component in a solar system and
it is recommended that you read all other component(s)
literature prior to installation.
We accept no liability for any damage caused by failure to
observe these instructions.
Control of Substances Hazardous to Health
Under Section 6 of The Health and Safety at Work Act
1974, we are required to provide information on substances
hazardous to health.
The adhesives and sealants used in this appliance are cured
and give no known hazard in this state.
Solar fluid
For solar fluid safety data, please refer to Clearly Solar
System Hydraulics literature.
Manual Handling
With regards to the “Manual Handling Operations, 1992
Regulations”, this product exceeds the recommended weight
for a one man lift.
Recommend 2 person lift. Ensure safe lifting techniques are
used – keep back straight – bend using legs. Keep load as
close to body as possible. Ensure co-ordinated movements
during lift. Clear the route before attempting the lift. If
removing from truck straddle the load and tilt forwards to
facilitate secure grip. Do not twist – reposition feet instead.
Take care to avoid trip hazards, slippery or wet surfaces and
when climbing steps or ladders. Always use assistance if
required.
Installation of the solar collector will require a risk
assessment.
Testing and Certification
This solar collector is tested and certificated for safety and
performance. It is, therefore, important that no alteration is
made, without permission, in writing, by Glow-worm.
Any alteration not approved by Glow-worm, could invalidate
the certification, warranty and may also infringe the current
issue of the statutory requirements.
CE Mark
The CE mark on the solar collector indicates that it complies
with the basic requirements of the applicable directives as
stated on the data label.
Damage from lightning
If the installation height is more than 20m, electro-conductive
components must be connected to a lightning protection
device.
Frost Protection
Under no circumstances should water be in the solar collector
if there is a danger of frost.
After pressurisation and flushing, the solar collector(s) may
contain water residue.
Water remaining in the solar circuit will dilute the fluid.
Immediately fill the solar system with solar fluid. Check the
fluid concentration with a frost protection tester.
WARNINGS
Metal Parts
This solar panel contains metal parts (components) and care should be taken when handling,
with particular regard to edges.
Risk of death from falls and falling objects
Observe the national regulations for working at heights.
Danger of burning and scalding
In case of solar irradiation inside the units, solar panels can reach 200°C.
Remove the sun protection film installed at the factory only after the solar energy system has been started up.
Sealed Components
Under no circumstances must the user interfere with or adjust sealed parts.
