SAFETY

Note:
Optional lifting handles are available
from Ariston (code 3107023).
WARNING - RISK TO LIFE
Correct procedures must be followed when lifting the collectors.
To satisfy Health and Safety requirements relating to the construction
industry, the use of a crane or other lifting device may be required.
Take appropriate precautions to prevent accidents and falls when
working on roofs.
Ensure correct personal protective clothing and safety equipment
are used when working on roofs.
Ensure that collectors lifted onto the roof or scaffold are always
secured to prevent them slipping and falling off the roof. Serious
injury or death may result from collectors falling.
WARNING
The collectors must be correctly secured to the roof. The roof must
be of adequate structure to support the collectors.
WARNING
During operation and commissioning the temperature of the heat
transfer fluid within the system and collectors can reach temperatures
high enough to present a risk of scalding. Never loosen fittings or
open vents when the system is hot.
WARNING
TYFOCOR LS Heat Transfer Fluid.
Although non-toxic it should not be swallowed.
Refer to label on its container for storage and safety information.
A detailed technical specification is available from Ariston on request.
Caution
SOLARcomfort should be installed and commissioned by approved
contractors. Failure to do so may invalidate the warranty.
Caution - Risk of damage to collectors
IMPORTANT! Always keep the glass side of the collectors fully
covered until the system is filled and ready for operation.
Always transport the collectors in an upright position. Never position the
collectors with the glass side facing down.
Leave collectors in their packaging until the time of installation. Do not
allow the bottom side of the collectors to be damaged by sharp objects.
Never leave the collectors with the glass side down when they could be
exposed to the weather, as rainwater could infiltrate the collector and cause
condensation within the collector.
