3.35.3 Instructions

1) Attach 2" pipe coupling to top end of enclosure mounting pipe. Securely
2) Install 2" pipe extension into coupling and securely tighten.
3) Check solar panels using digital voltmeter to verify polarity and output voltage.
Voltage will vary depending on amount of sun and angle to the sun.
4) Install solar panels on mounting bracket with provided hardware, if required.
5) Attach solar panel mounting plates to the top end of the 2" extension pipe with U-
bolts and associated mounting hardware. Do not tighten U-bolts until solar panels
are correctly positioned.
6) For northern hemispheres, position solar panels facing south. For southern
hemispheres, position solar panels facing north. For optimum charging, solar
panels should not be in shadows for the majority of the day. Panels should be
kept clean for maximum charging.
