For technical questions, please call 1-888-866-5797.
NOTE: There are two possible settings for the Leg
Connectors to allow for different angles facing the sun.
Before securing Leg Supports in place, be sure to adjust
Leg Connectors so that both Connectors are set at the
same angles. This will help keep the frame balanced.
4. Verify all connections are tightened and that
the frame is secure. WARNING! Do not install
the Solar Panels until the frame is properly
assembled and balanced on surface.
5. Determine where you want to position the
frame assembly, making sure it is facing south
(for maximum sun exposure) with no obstructions
in front of it. The Charge Controller (13) must be in
a dry, well ventilated location nearby. If necessary,
build a small structure that guarantees the unit will
stay dry during rain or snow, and, provide enough
ventilation to allow the unit to vent and cool properly.
6. Set the Solar Panels onto the frame assembly,
aligning the Panels' mounting holes with the
mounting holes on the Top and Bottom Tubes.
Use the Fixed Screws and Nuts to secure the Solar
Panels to the frame assembly. See Figure D.
