Finalising position
1. To f nal se the pos t on of the Man fold, and t ghten the f x ngs, the two end
evacuated tubes must be f tted. An ncorrect spac ng between the man fold and
the bottom ra l w ll mean that the tube end caps w ll not cl ck securely nto
place.
2. To f t the f rst tube, the heat p pe must be pulled out from the tube as shown.
(Do not use the thermal conduct on glue as the tube s only be ng temporar ly
nstalled).
3. Then nsert the end f rmly and completely nto the man fold.
4. Next sl de the loose copper collar up, followed by the black plast c tube mount
wh ch screws onto the man fold.
5. Then, ease the evacuated tube gently but f rmly nto the black plast c tube
mount unt l you feel t come to a stop.
6. Cl p the plast c end-cap nto place on the bottom ra l.
7. NOTE f the end-cap has NOT cl pped n securely (as n the photo), the
man fold w ll have to be adjusted up to allow the end cap to cl ck nto place.
8. Now the man fold cl ps can be t ghtened ON THIS SIDE ONLY because the
tube end cap has cl pped securely over the evacuated tube; n other words the
man fold s correctly pos t oned on the frame.
GG30T only – At th s stage, the last central man fold cl p can be added, and
the pa r t ghtened up. Make sure the central frame p ece s st ll n the m ddle of
the man fold!
9. Now the two evacuated tubes can be removed and re-packed.
Fitting the feet to the Collector unit;
10. If the un t s to be f tted flat to a roof, the feet w ll all be bolted to the frame
that has just been completed.
11. If the un t s to be elevated, then the front feet w ll be f tted to the collector
frame as above but the rear feet w ll be f tted to the elevat on frame.
12. The feet are bolted to the frame sect ons as shown. Note the rubber spacer /
gr p that s glued to each foot.
13. Sta nless steel f x ng screws of the appropr ate grade must be used to f x the
un ts to the roof.
