ulations regarding work safety. The personnel must also observe the instructions in the Safety chapter.
Appropriate use
The CompactPITCH flat roof system is designed exclusively for installing PV modules on tiled roofs or similar
roof coverings. The system must be properly installed in accordance with these installation instructions.
PV modules used with the CompactPITCH system should be approved by the module manufacturer.
AEROCOMPACT accepts no liability for loss of performance or damage of any kind to the PV modules.
Any other use of the CompactPITCH system is considered improper.
Liability, Warranty, Guarantee
These assembly instructions and the project report supplied with the product are integral parts of the
product. The information, data and instructions given in the assembly instructions were up to date at the
time of printing. No claims can be made for products already delivered that deviate from the information,
illustrations and descriptions.
The project report supplied with the system contains the static calculation specific to the location. If the
module layout on the roof changes due to local conditions, e.g. unforeseen interference areas, the structural
analysis must be recalculated. The Aerocompact system is designed and planned using the AEROTOOL soft-
ware.
Aerocompact accepts no liability for damage and malfunctions caused by:
oimproper use
ouse of non-certified components.
ounauthorized modifications to the product.
oimproper handling of the product.
oInstallation errors

Guarantee
The warranty period for the system is 25 years. The warranty period for galvanized steel parts is 10 years. The
guarantee is only valid if the installation is carried out professionally and all system components are pur-
chased from Aerocompact. If the assembly instructions or the planning documents are disregarded, the war-
ranty will be invalidated.
Photovoltaic racking systems are not maintenance-free. Perform maintenance annually and immediately
after unusual weather events, e.g., after heavy storms or heavy snowfall, etc. If the maintenance is not carried
out at the specified interval, the warranty will become void.
General information on liability
We point out that the product is sold within the framework of a sales contract. Assembly/processing by the
purchaser or third parties is not carried out on behalf of or for Aerocompact and must be carried out by qual-
ified personnel strictly in accordance with the assembly instructions. The Aerocompact system must be
designed and planned with the AEROTOOL software. Aerocompact is not responsible for the project-related
structural integrity of the roof structure, for obtaining and documenting the roof manufacturer's approval
for the installation of the corresponding fasteners on the respective roof (in terms of warranties), nor for the
professional execution.
Errors and damage as well as limited or insufficient functionality of the system due to incorrect installation
and/or installation that deviates from the installation instructions and/or the project report (AEROTOOL)
exclude any material defect for which Aerocompact is responsible. In the event of improper handling, the
rights of the buyer due to a material defect shall expire. The system warranty is only valid if all system com-
ponents are purchased from Aerocompact.
Systems with clamping on the short module side
For a system with a clamp on the short side of the module, it is assumed that the module may also be used
in this mounting form (clamp on the short sides of the module). This release can either be generally avail-
able as part of the module installation instructions or can be given by the module manufacturer for specific
projects.

SAFETY
Requirements of personnel
The person must be physically and mentally fit. Under no circumstances must the installation personnel be
under the influence of medication, alcohol or drugs.
Persons who are not healthy and fit must not work on roofs.
Personnel who are in training must only carry out work under the supervision of qualified personnel who
are authorized to train personnel.
Working safely
The company carrying out the installation is responsible for ensuring that the local regulations for work
safety and accident prevention are observed.
Breakthrough protection
Roof windows, skylights, large ventilation flaps etc. often cannot withstand the weight or impact of a person.
Such objects must be secured in a similar way as the edge of the roof.
Corrugated fibre cement roofs can be prone to breakthrough over the entire surface. Define walking routes
and secure them with load distribution measures.
On roofing or roof structures that do not have sufficient load-bearing capacity (e.g. thin sheets, corrugated
fibre cement), always work with load distribution aids.
Climbing aids
Only use suitable, intact and tested ladders. Set up and secure ladders according to instructions.
Separate rules apply to mechanical climbing aids (lifts, lifting platforms, ...).
Never use the PV mounting system as a climbing aid.
Weather conditions
In case of unsuitable weather conditions, work on the roof must not be continued any longer than neces-
sary - or not started at all.
Never carry out assembly work in strong winds. Strong wind exerts enormous forces on the large-area PV
modules. There is a risk that a module could be torn off the roof and people could be injured.
Never work in wet conditions or at temperatures below the freezing point. Depending on the roof pitch
there is a risk of slipping.
Dangers from the environment
Keep sufficient distance from overhead electrical lines. The following distances must be observed:

Protection against falling objects
Areas below the roof on which work is being carried out must be protected from any falling objects. Where
this does not succeed, affected areas must be closed to the public.
Persons involved in the construction project must wear safety helmets.
Personal protective equipment (PPE)
Personal protective equipment is required to prevent injuries during assembly work.
Wear protective goggles when drilling.
Wear safety boots.
Wear cut-resistant work gloves during assembly.
Helmets are required for all persons involved on the construction site.
Use fall protection.
