Note: When posioning the Solar Panel on the
Housing, route the Power Cable that is connected to
the Motor behind the housing. Move the Solar Panel
far enough away to remove slack in the Power Cable.
Total length of the combined Cable is about four
feet. For narrow EasyShades, excess Cable can be
tucked behind the Housing.

CAUTION: If the Solar Panel does not easily slide
o the Wall Mount Bracket, nudge it gently. Do not
use a hammer to bang the Solar Panel Assembly, as
permanent damage may occur.
WARNING: WHEN USING A LADDER OR ANY OTHER
CLIMBING DEVICE, YOU MUST USE EXTRA CAUTION
WHEN SLIDING THE PANEL OFF THE BRACKET.
WE RECOMMEND TO POSITION THE CLIMBING
DEVICE TO THE SIDE TOWARD WHICH YOU WILL BE
REMOVING THE PANEL. IT IS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
TO HAVE A HELPER SECURE THE CLIMBING DEVICE.
FAILURE TO DO SO COULD RESULT IN A FALL AND IN
PERSONAL INJURY.
