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

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

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.
