1.1 GENERAL INDICATIONS AND MOVING.
Assembly, maintenance and cleaning must only be
carried out by companies and specialist sta.
e components indicated in this handbook must be
used when assembling. e use of other material is
under the responsibility of the installer, who assumes
full responsibility, including the product guarantee.
e manufacturer is not liable for any work not carried out in
a state-of-the-art manner, and for any damage caused to the
structure or the tools used.
Before installing and using the system, it is advisable to check
local regulations and laws to make sure that what is described
in this document complies with them. Should they be dierent,
do not install the system and contact the manufacturer.
e manufacturer is not liable for any damage caused to things
and injury to people as a result of installation carried out wi-
thout respecting local regulations and laws.
e system can only be moved when empty and extre-
mely carefully. Do not use or apply force to the plastic
threaded connections in order to li the product.
Avoid knocks and pressure on the system, in particular
on the cover, base and the plastic connections that
project from the frame.
Do not place any load on the system.
When moving, always use people who are competent,
trained and equipped according to what is imposed by laws in
force. Always use means of transport, liing devices, chains
and any other things that are of a suitable capacity and size.
1.2 STRUCTURAL CHECK.
e SOLARSMART solar collector with integrated
storage can be placed on the ground or on a structure
(attic, covering, balcony, etc...) that can support the
device weight and dynamic actions caused by varia-
ble things (e.g. wind, snow,...), considered with the
presence of “SOLARSMART” solar collector with
integrated storage.
In the case of already-existing buildings in par-
ticular, all combinations of the static capacity of
the structural elements and anchors used must be
carefully evaluated, according to what is indicated in
the technical standards for construction (NTC 2008, in Italy),
or the Eurocodes (EN 1991, in Europe). is check must be
carried out by a structural technician who is authorised to work
in the installation area.
Be very careful of the load increase caused by snow
or strong wind. e manufacturer is not responsible
for damage to things or injury to people caused by
bad installation on structures that cannot support
the indicated loads.
1.3 SAFETY PRECAUTIONS WHILE ASSEMBLING.
Danger caused by wind
Install when the weather conditions
are good, avoid rainy days and strong
winds.
Risk of falling from a height
Solar systems oen need to be installed
at a height. Operators must follow regulations
and laws in force regarding safety.
Danger caused by hanging loads and
material falling from a height
If material needs to be lied using a crane or
machinery, apply all the pertinent recommen-
dations and regulations in order to carry out
these operations safely. Use suitable means of
the correct capacity. Mark o the area where
the liing is being carried out, to prevent risks
caused by objects falling from a height.
