1. WARRANTY CERTIFICATE FOR THE CANOPIES
10 year Warranty for defects in materials or manufacturing flaws
CIRCUTOR hereby guarantees, for a period of 10 years, from the date of delivery to the buyer, that its
canopies are free of any defect in their materials or manufacture that hinder their normal operation
under proper conditions of usage, installation and maintenance.
If, at any time, during the period of validity of this guarantee, the appearance of defects in their materials
or their manufacture occurs, CIRCUTOR undertakes to replace the defective structure.
The guarantees contained in this Certificate will be provided by CIRCUTOR subject to the general terms
and conditions expressed below:
Exclusions and Limitations of Guarantees
Those damages and faults established herein will be exempt from the warranty rights whenever
these arise from:
1.- Accidents or negligent, improper or unsuitable use.
2.- Failing to respect the installation, usage and maintenance instructions set forth.
CIRCUTOR reserves the right to supply a different model of structure to handle the accepted warranty
claims, for replacement or expansion, in the event that the original model was no longer manufactured.
Admitted usage
This type of canopy is a metallic structure with two basic functions:
To support a cover of photovoltaic solar modules or thermal solar panels, for the production of
running or hot water respectively.
To protect motor vehicles, motorcycles, bicycles, people, etc. from the sun and the rain under the
cover.

2. FORESEEABLE MISUSE
This type of canopy is not intended to:
To withstand overloads higher than those indicated in the corresponding certificate of technical
characteristics, due to meteorological conditions (snow and wind) of the site and the own weight of
the solar panels.
People will not be allowed to climb onto the canopy, with the exception of those who access it to
carry out maintenance and assembly tasks. No more than one person with their personal work material
(100 kg) may climb onto the canopy.
It is not allowed to cover the sides, front or rear with any type of enclosure that wholly or partially
prevents the passage of the wind.
The installation of posters or jutting elements is not allowed, nor in general, any added element that
increases the surface exposed to the wind.
Only the assembly of original parts and components supplied by CIRCUTOR is allowed.
CIRCUTOR will not be held liable for any unauthorised modification to the canopy, once the same
has been put into service.
If a wall is installed along the entire length of the canopy, a special study will be required to vary the
coefficient of obstruction contemplated in the calculation.
Figure 1: Variation of the obstruction coefficient.
If the canopy is installed in the vicinity of a height change or on a steep wall or mound that increases
the height of the canopy above the ground level to more than 3 m in height at the centre point of
the roofing, a special study will be required owing to the modification of the pressure and suction
coefficients considered in the calculation.
