Important Information

General

These instructions must be handed to the user on completion

of the installation.

This installation instruction applies exclusively to the on-roof

mounting of the Clearly Solar, solar collector panel.

The solar collector panel 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.

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 panel will require a risk

assessment.

Testing and Certification

This solar collector panel 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 panel indicates that

it complies with the basic requirements of the applicable

directives as stated on the data badge.

Damage from lightning

If the installation height is more than 20m or if the solar

panels are projected above the roof ridge, electro-conductive

components must be connected to a lightning protection

device.

Frost Protection

Under no circumstances should water be in the solar collector

panel if there is a danger of frost.

After pressurisation and flushing, the solar collectors panels

may contain water residues.

Immediately fill the solar system with solar fluid. Check

the fluid concentration with a frost protection tester. Water

remaining in the solar circuit may dilute the fluid.

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.
