Safety instructions

μm-Si plus EU1510 Series solar modules are glass
products and convert light into electrical energy even
under very weak light conditions. In view of this, the
following safety instructions must be adhered to:
Warning!
Take adequate precautions to prevent falls and elec-
tric shock. You must comply with employers' liability
insurance association regulations on work safety!
Warning!
Do not install, service or clean cracked solar modules!
Warning!
Do not stand on the solar modules or fastening ele-
ments during installation, operation or maintenance!
Warning!
A solar module weighs 25 Kg. Two people are re-
quired to transport, position and fasten modules in
place. Anti-slip gloves or suction handles should be
used!
Caution!
Do not rest modules on a non-cushioned surface!
Caution!
Secure the modules firmly when taking a break from
work to ensure that they do not slide, fall or get blown
over by the wind!
Caution!
Secure work tools to ensure they do not fall onto the
glass surface!
